Private Schools

I would give this school less than one star if possible. This is the worst school in the entire Bay Area. I know this because I did lots of research of all the schools in the area for my kid. And this was the only school I let my kid in because they had a Japanese and Montessori program. I thought that was all that was important. I was very wrong. The Asian language program is non-existent in the children's house and elementary because they are so racist. Smart Asian teacher leave because they don't want to deal with the white supremacists teachers. And any teacher who puts up with it is not the best example for our kids. I originally thought Lisa Williams-Craig and her husband were the only white supremacists in the school. Until I figured out that they only hire and employ staff that support them in their racism. The Asian teachers strong and smart enough to find better jobs are at the competition. All the other Asian Montessori schools are better. AIM has the longer waiting list because it's Japanese program isn't colonized by racist Americans exploiting Asian culture. LePort has a better Chinese program right down the street in Emeryville with a much more reasonable administration. And without all the parents complaints being completely ignored. Pacific Rim International School not only ignores parents complaints, they bully parents. Which is better than bullying children, but they do that too. I think they got the most power to do this now because they have so many Trump supporters. They will bully your child. Force them to get therapy for the mental disability they gave. Take your money for the entire year and refuse to let your child come back to school. They care about making money and have absolutely no concern for children. They have the most citations from community care licensing social services in the entire Bay Area for all preschools. Call social services and check. Why they still have a license offends me. I think we can only thank Trump for that. I'm just glad those people have a school to collect in, away from people I want to raise my kid around. This school is offensive to Asian people and the Montessori system. I went to a Montessori school my entire childhood. This is not a true Montessori. Maybe when this was the first and only Asian Montessori it was successful. But now it's just the Asian Montessori reject school for the students who didn't get in the better schools. And the teachers who can't get hired by them.

This I think is a great school. Great staff and teachers . Very lovable and focus in provide the best education for your child.

it's not a special needs school. This school is highly academic experiential learning model. They can sometimes acommodate special needs depending on what the needs are but they are not aimed at attracting special needs. It is an unbelievably Fantastic School with amazing teachers looking for bright, engaged learners. An incredible oasis in a sea of mediocrity.

This school is amazing, so sad to see it go :(

Good school

Wonderful

Great school!

Great school , awesome teacher we love it, come & join us !! ;-)

Great philosophy in terms of specialized education for elementary level. Make kids think for themselves and forms it's leadership. Make them think outside the box.

One of the finest private schools in Santa Cruz

Though the campus from school it's a fairly good quality one very large quorum is that at the school Christianity get forced down your throat very hard

It would be hard to imagine a school more dedicated to its students. The education is truly special, prioritizing the child, fostering an environment which helps children love to learn.

An amazing community that provides an excellent education both academically and in helping children develop into confident, productive and caring adolescents.

We absolutely love Serendipity School! My older son started there in Kindergarten a couple of years ago and every day I feel grateful to have found Serendipity. It is such a warm and welcoming school, and even more than that, it is a wonderful community to be a part of. Since it's a relatively small school, everyone gets to know each other, and I have felt nothing but support and kindness from everyone (teachers, staff, as well as other families). We are very impressed by how much he's learning and how much he enjoys the work he does in class. I love that he doesn't realize he's learning anything new at school, which to me means that he is enjoying the learning process. Both my son and I have made some great friends there, and I am excited for our younger son to start there next year!

Arcata Christian School is an outstanding school. It was a wonderful experience for my daughter. What a blessing ACS has been to our family. Cougers ROAR!!!
