Simi Valley Adventist School

I have to say I had mixed thoughts when my son started but I was pleasantly surprised it was a very positive experience for my 8th grade son! He has always been at a brick and mortar school until 8th grade. We left high tech for the lack of displine, learning and bullying… my son thrived here but online is not right for every student… my son is advanced learner and can work independently if your student is not they will probably not thrive without additional support…First thing to consider…there is no hand holding! Students are expected to do their work independently and the learning coach is expected to ensure work is getting done. Second, there is one hour of instruction, one hour to work offline independently for each subject but your student can work at their own pace which helped my sons anxiety…our teacher Ms. Kim was a rockstar so attentive and also responded to all my sons emails. My son is also on IEP and all services were done over zoom. The curriculum was average but my son learned a lot and independent learning skills for hs. I did notice that there was a 50/50 split on students taking online learning seriously they either did or didn’t.The only negative is beyond the teachers it is nearly impossible to reach school admin if there are problems and we did not get to choose electives… if you have a student facing challenges in a traditional school environment this would be a great option to consider… my son would like to give traditional hs a go but if it doesn’t work out we will be re-enrolling…

We decided to give online school a chance for my daughter who just started High School. She's always been a responsible student. She's thriving and loved it so far! The communication between parent and teachers in my opinion is efficient. Not too much with time flexibility, cause like a brick and mortar school students need to be present on all live online classes.

My eleventh grader has had a terrible experience at Cava@Kings - online school is isolating and her motivation has plummeted. Receive very little support from the school - staff is ineffective, and unresponsive to real concerns. About all I get from them is a constant barrage of useless canned emails. Time requirements are extremely high - feels like I'm doing all the work. Would not ever do this again.

Super School ,Best Teachers very qualified some Teachers have degree too. Very kind Owner .I am highly recommend this school
