Private Schools

I go to this school and it is awesome

Awesome church

My son went there for several years. It's a wholesome school and most of the teachers were very nice. I felt he is safe and look after well in school

O.G. Class of 72! #spachesorchard #rocksaltscattergun #dontgetcaughthangingout

I strongly discourage those whose kids have no siblings in the Harker to apply for this school. If your kids have no siblings already in the Harker, the chance of your kids to be admitted is very slim, if not impossible. The destruction of your kids’ self-esteem and confidence because of failing to be admitted in the Harker will be disastrous, and will affect your kids’ future forever. Harker publicly declares that they DO have policy to have higher priority to enroll the kids who have sibling already in the Harker. There are only a few openings every year, and there are more applicants whose siblings are already in the Harker. Therefore, if your kids have no sibling in the Harker, it is extremely difficult for your kids to be admitted, no matter how excellent your kids are. My kid has several classmates and friends who have siblings in the Harker. They are not as excellent as my kid, and they never work hard for the entrance tests. But they told my kid that they don’t need study hard and they could go to the Harker whenever they wanted to go. Although a top student, my kid has much less chance to be admitted. Frustrated, my kid no longer studies hard as before, and spends more time in TV and computer games, saying “It’s useless to study hard. I don’t need work hard since you’re rich!”. We always educate our kids to study hard to be successful in the future. But now my kid doesn't believe me anymore. If your kids have no sibling in the Harker and you want to send your kids to Harker, you need think twice. Not only will it waste your time, energy and money to prepare for their tests, more destructively it will ruin your kids’ future most likely.

This is my son's third year at Grace and the experience has been wonderful. The kids are like a family. The academics are outstanding and Mrs. Starke and Mrs. McClellan are so wonderful. If you have considered homeschooling and for some reason are unable, Grace is the perfect place for your family.

Our family has been at Carden for going on seven years, my kids are very happy. I like the balance between academics and humanities. Homework is reasonable and meant to reinforce work they have done throughout the day.

Worst experience ever!!! The kids are treated like animals with all the whistle blowing. The lack of grace & compassion to young children is unbelievable. The vice principal should be fired for how disrespectful she is to parents which whom pay a ton of money to send their kids there.

This is a great private school. It's small enough so teachers are able to be attentive to each student individually.

It is great

I have a 7 year old boy and 4.5 year old girl, both of them are going to graduate from Trust in two months. They started going to Trust when they were 2 year old. The school is part of our daily life for 5 years now, and there are so many things to write about, I will try to make it brief... 1. How I come to Trust- Trust is a chinese-english bilingual private school for kids from 2 year old till first grade. As a first time mom, I visited all the bilingual school with 20miles distance in 2010, to find the right one, and picked trust among all, because, 1). the class rooms are clean, and temperature is comfortable. 2). the teachers have genuine smiles and smile right into my eyes. 3) The administration is very open an take me around classrooms without reservation. 4). the school is in a real campus, instead of residential house or commercial building 4) kids look clean and happy, 5) no complicated tuition structures, it is 7:30 to 6:30. 6) back to the teachers, they are all very upbeat and gentle at the same time, without knowing much, I can tell these are the people I would like my kids to spend time with. 2. The teachers: the kids change room each year, and will be with different teachers. For 2-3 year old, there are 3 teachers for each class, and for the 4 -7year old, 2 teachers each room. We have worked with most of the teachers if not all. Each everyone of them is awesome. On top of being loving, caring, knowledgable, they are also charismatic individual in life. Ms D, the head teacher for first grade and kinder garden, has a colorful background, includes performing, before becoming a professional educator. Her teaching is vibrant, and effective. Ms Joy the Chinese teacher for the same grade, always cheerful with great imaginaton, my son learnt so many chinese words from her. Ms Yang and Ms Daisy, my daughter's current room teachers, they really know how to talk to and play with younger kids, and truly cultivating the young minds. Ms. Katy, Shirley, Peng, Eva, Gina, Sarah, Julie, Kelsey, Jackie, they are all outstanding educators, I will need to write different reviews for each teacher, and all 5 stars! 3. The administration, Ms Ann and Ms Flora, are very supportive and accommodating. They really listen to parents feedback in terms of each student individual need, and make arrangement accordingly. 4. School activities: the school put a lot of efforts in singing, dancing and performing, and that is for every single kid. I can't imagine how hard it is to teach two year olds to sing and dance on stage, but nonetheless, they spend the time and energy to let every kid to have the opportunity to perform. I bring my family and friends every time to watch the performance, and we enjoy it every time. There are also field trip to Egyptian museum, San Francisco Opera, Almaden mining museum, CDC, pumpkin patch. 5. Classmates and parents: I found the kids and parents here are very likable too, a smart and happy bunch too. My kids love their teachers, and the school, they ask to come back for after school, and I am very happy with the school, they are my friends and almost like family at times. It is a great experience for all of us.

I shadowed here before very interesting activities

Mr.Kawaye is a teacher in first grade and he is the best and funny and did I mention silly.
