My daughter was very fortunate to spend several years attending Star Academy. It gave her the support and foundation she needed to be successful afterwards in a large public high school. What was really impressive and helpful about Star's program was the 1:1 work with specialists - the secret sauce of the program - AND all the support she ALSO had in the classroom. The teachers and specialists were very competent (important to me) and VERY kind, nurturing, and supportive (important to her). I am indebted to the program and staff.

Gate Academy is a wonderful environment for gifted children and the parents who are blessed with raising them. The students, faculty and parent community are like a family to be treasured. A truly unique experience for children who are deep thinkers, passionate about various interests and hard working. It is a collective spirit and vibe that has the rhythm and heart of a unified tribe. Some children have siblings, most do not, however you might not be able to tell as the design of their program helps the students work together and thrive as if they were all part of one big family.

I have three children who have either attended or are currently attending. My children receive(d) a well-rounded curriculum and solid education to help prepare them for highschool and beyond. When they started at Saint Isabella's, they jumped in from a different school and fit in immediately both socially and academically. The teachers are very caring, a good balance of strictness and nurturing. I am happy that my children were brought up in a Catholic school that provides spiritual enrichment daily. They learned about their faith and how to apply that to their lives. Aside, from standard curriculum, Saint Isabella dedicates time for my children to learn a second language, art, PE, music, library, and religion as well as after school enrichment classes and clubs. And as parents, my husband and I have enjoyed becoming friends with other parents. The school has definitely fostered a feeling of family within the school community.

The map is inaccurate. This school is at St. Vincent's along the bay. The school is for troubled teens.

As an alum of a Waldorf school, I find myself appreciating it more with every passing year. I’ve come to realize how deeply it shaped me, not just academically, but in how I lead, think, and connect with others. Waldorf gave me a foundation of confidence and self-awareness that I see reflected in so many of my fellow alumni.My Waldorf peers stand out in the real world; they’re grounded, emotionally intelligent, deeply creative, and incredibly kind. They lead with clarity and compassion in a way I rarely see in others our age. There’s authenticity and intentionality in how they show up in the world that I credit directly to our Waldorf upbringing.Many of my classmates have gone on to attend top universities like UCLA, UC Berkeley, and other highly regarded schools. Waldorf education in the early years may not always look traditionally academic, but it cultivates a love of learning and the ability to think independently. This education will prepare your student to not only succeed but to thrive. This kind of education doesn’t just prepare you for tests; it prepares you to be a thoughtful, capable human being. I’m endlessly grateful for Waldorf and would send my children here in a heartbeat.
