Taft Elementary School

From the moment we visited MCS I knew this school is exactly where our family was meant to be. I had visited several schools and didn’t get that “this is it” feeling until we came here. Our family has been blessed to be a part of MCS for 10 years. It’s a beautiful thing to know that my children can be at a school where there is a firm foundation in Christ and that our school is unwavering in our commitment to Christian education and academic excellence. The administration, staff and teachers have had such a strong impact in molding my childrens’ academic and spiritual formation. I know the years spent here will forever be cherished and valued in their hearts and mine.

When I started researching schools for my first child, I had a long list of requirements: a Mandarin immersion program (culturally important to us), strong safety protocols, happy and stable teachers, and a philosophy of raising respectful global citizens—not just checking boxes for academics. I asked every question I could think of, from how they handle sickness to how teachers are supported, and I observed everything from class ratios to daily routines. We visited several schools, but ultimately chose Frontiers, and I’m so glad we did. The difference was clear: attrition among instructors was low, and my son’s teacher had been there for many years. To me, happy teachers = happy kids. From the start, the staff were warm, communicative, and professional. I’ve been consistently impressed by their attention to detail, safety standards, and how thoughtfully they care for each child. Beyond the nurturing environment, the academics are truly top-notch. It's a trilingual school so teaches in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. The curriculum is rigorous; I love that my son is being challenged intellectually while also building confidence, creativity, and curiosity. What gave me peace of mind is knowing my child is not only in a stable environment but also one where learning is engaging, meaningful, and sets a high bar. Communication has been excellent—I always feel in the loop. I’ve seen firsthand that the children are thriving, not only in Spanish or Mandarin but in all aspects of their development. If you’re a parent who values stability, honesty, safety, and outstanding academics in a school culture where teachers are genuinely happy—Frontiers stands out. It checked every box on my list.
