Private Schools

My experience, with Basis as my new school for my daughter, has been very positive. My daughter comes home bursting with new information and new things she wants to learn. She has created a set of very nice friends there, who share similar values as my family. Her love for learning is alive and well and I really have Basis to thank for bringing that back into my daughter's school life. It isn't about memorization and test scores, it is about stimulating children's minds and making them so eager to learn that the test scores are high but very secondary to the purpose of the education. I am glad we made the shift. A few standout things: 1) They are not just a zero tolerance on bullying in words, but in action. They have bully experts as part of their staff. 2) Their teachers teach from just the subject matter in which the teacher loves and is passionate about and has in depth knowledge about. Long gone are the days of asking one single teacher to teach all topics. I love the method of a subject matter expert teaching. Those teachers teach from the heart and soul about what they love. 3) The administration is easy to reach. There is no barrier to reach them. Call and see. It is really that easy. 4) The 2nd report card: The school does an academic report card and a social report card that looks at the student's whole being, not just academically. This helps identify things like stress factors, behavioral norms, and gives the parent(s) an opportunity to see the child's emotional well being too. Every school has things that aren't what you want exactly, Basis has those but they are all so minor like busing schedule that it seems petty to even mention them. I am so glad to be a member of the Basis community.

My daughter started pre-kinder last year and we've had a great experience. Can't wait to start Kinder this year. Teachers are great, small class sizes, affordable and care until 6:30pm.

Talk about innovative creative learning. Those kids are the leaders of the future. Not the “text book structured” followers…

The music teacher Mrs. No is the best teacher I've ever had, she's amazing!

I think this school is the best. I was having trouble with GG. School District and didn't know what to ,we came across page by accident went in spoke with the director she was very helpful. I am a single mother on a fixed income she works with me but the most important I have seen such improvement in my son he now loves going to school and is enjoying reading he doesn't fight me on doing his homework

Beautiful school, would reccomend it!

Excellent alternative high school with caring and responsive staff and adminstration

Excellent School, Advanced in Learning

We play basketball here and the set up is very nice. Street parking is plentiful in addition to the small parking lot provided.

I've been very blessed to have my 2 children attend this school. Julia, Theodore, and Barbara are caring, engaging, fun, welcoming, sensitive, loving, intelligent - everything I want for my children. It feels like a second home to me.

Excellent Teachers with tremendous knowledge of subjects, and understanding of each students individual learning differences. Principal and staff are excellent, helpful, supportive and so kind to the students. My son has a wonderful place for his studies and has excelled at this school. It is a great place and I highly recommend it!

I was very disappointed. IMO, better preschools in the area.

My son has always struggled in the classroom due to ADD. This school and the model it presents - one student to one teacher - has been the answer. It works. He actually enjoys learning and has the opportunity to have guided study to complete homework each day. This is a small school that gives a lot of attention to the details of how each student is progressing towards success. This school is less expensive than other schools that might be suitable for learning disability. We are very happy here and hope to complete high school at Halstrom.

My little brother goes here

This spring was the 2nd time we enrolled our son at Halstrom Academy Beverly Hills Campus mid-year. In 9th grade we arrived in February. In 10th grade we arrived in May. Both experiences saved my son from having to repeat a year of school or even an individual course. We are consistently impressed with how welcoming the staff is to our son and our whole family. How supportive the teaching and administrative staff are and how open everyone there is to working with our family on structuring our son's schedule for test prep especially. The flexibility, the access to teaching staff, the challenging curriculum have all made our Halstrom experiences exceptional. I really couldn't recommend Halstrom Academy Beverly Hills more. We feel blessed to have found them.

Both my children started in P3 (Preschool) at Fairmont Private Schools and have continued their education through elementary school. Our kids are kept happy, challenged, and entertained by their teachers, administration, and helpful parents at school who put on some amazing events. Our daughter transitioned out of Fairmont and is adjusting nicely in her new school. Our son is still currently attending. I always recommend Fairmont to parents, it's fantastic. Their high academics, arts, science, and 2nd language curriculum combined with "Character Counts" initiatives have made us really happy.
