Private Schools

9 years... 9 years...

My daughter loves this school. She is so proud to be attending a school with excellent teachers who are always ready to help her.

Independent school with a focus on "whole child" vs just simply academics or sports. One of the best campuses in the area with a stellar K-8 program and rockstar admin staff. Small class sizes, diverse program (including lots of STEAM courses) and dedicated teachers who go well beyond the call of duty to ensure a positive and productive student experience.

All three of my children had the privilege to graduate from Walnut Creek Christian Academy and were blessed to have so many caring and wonderful teachers. It is a school that truly cares about each student and strives to educate the whole child. It is intellectually and ethnically diverse and the many extra curricular opportunities are amazing for a relatively small Christian school. From fine arts to foreign languages to team sports - this school has a lot to offer!

Discovering NorthCreek has been one of the highlights of our family's lives -- a true blessing, to say the very least. Now, for some context: in 2014, my wife and I packed up our family and made the trek to California. We researched school systems all over, public and private, and nothing pulled us in the way NorthCreek did, from the very beginning. The academics are impeccable -- don't expect the curricula to simply "meet the requirements". Expect it to exceed them. It's orchestrated in ways that engage my kids. They blow my mind with their ability to recall so much information, but also reason and formulate really solid questions. It's clear they're learning the value of information through application, and digesting both the "how?" and "why?". Communication from staff is thorough and abundant; you hear from nearly everyone on staff, and you're never left wondering what's happening. From e-mail to handouts, you'll be in the know, so go ahead and prepare a bulletin board at home and have some thumbtacks ready. They've got it together, so make sure *you* do! Most importantly, though, is the feeling that God is truly at this school. You sense Him through your interactions with staff, at every level. You experience Him through the way they weave the gospel into the academics. You have the assurance that they're preparing your child both academically *and* spiritually; you're confident they'll be ready for the next level in school, and ready for the influences and pressures of the society they're entering. NorthCreek has become such an integral part of our lives that we'll gladly shift priorities in order to keep them here, if need be. It's that much of a blessing. I'm always open and ready to share more, if you're a parent and actively deciding on a school for your kids.

I love this school and the parents that send their kids to this school. There is a Christian atmosphere that is carried out throughout the school. The parents watch out for all of the students and know most of their names. The teacher to student ratio is very low. My children are doing very well here.

This is a lovely church with a special pastor, Brian Joyce.

vary friendly and one on one wich is good

We absolutely adore The Laurel School! My son has been there since kindergarten and he is now a very successful fifth grader. Their individualized attention and specialized education model has been wonderful. The small class sizes are also hugely helpful. They have OT and Speech on campus and that is also great! We are so grateful to the laurel school and all it does

An amazing school with a variety of helpful and passionate teachers, and a nice community overall.

Excellent education class of 1955

This church is awesome. The messages preached there gives me insightful, relevant, and practical applications of God's word for everyday living. I like the fact that your services are on Saturday nights at 7:30...it gives me something to do since I am not into the party scene anymore.
