Private Schools

It is a great school! Our son has flourished. We have great teachers, fantastic and very involved head of school/director, and invested community. Saying "it's like a family" might sound cliche, but it it is really like that.

this place is amazing! my little brother goes to this school. he used to go to a public school where he had trouble learning when there is 30 children to one teacher. this school has changed my brother for the better. gave him a chance to catch up with his studies and they really care about there children and what they are learning.. they also have a great couseling program for your kids. this is not just a school. this is a place where you child can get away from the bullies at a regular school and any other learning problems they have and really get the help they really need to understand what they need in life to be sucessful. they help these kids in every aspect in life not just school. amazing school and even more amazing teacher and staff! thank you for helping my brother with his studies and his life struggles.

My son has never enjoyed school until he came to Fusion! The people here are connected and engaged, and they have changed his life in a positive way!!

CSB is a WONDERFUL SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY!

This place honestly was sloppy, messy, and just really did not appeal to me. Some teachers were okay, others, not so much. They did not explain certain things clearly and would expect you to know everything. Some teachers would humiliate you in front of the class if you did not know the answer right away. Furthermore, the students were forced to sit on dirty, dusty floors with their uniforms that were uncomfortable and hot. The student were not taught how to behave properly and were pretty rough when it came to "hanging around". Overall, I would not recommend this school to anyone who isn't willing to let there kid be bullied and harassed. The price for this school is ridiculous and the lunch tasted like plastic and garbage. This is not a private school you want to go to.

Really was transformational for my son. He was able to take risks academically, socially, and on the playing fields and courts without judgement, given supportive culture. I attribute his time there developing (including character) to his success in college and now the private sector

这所学校仅提供四年的高中教育。小规模的班级和高标准的学术要求使学生的录取甚至难于美国的一流大学。相应的，这所高中的毕业生有1／3会进入常青藤联盟，斯坦福，麻省理工，加州理工等美国超一流大学。华尔街日报按照大学录取率和学生大学入学后第一年成绩把这所学校列为美国私立中学前十名。

I go to Gavin Academy. You can access it from anywhere so I love it. I don't have to go to a school building and sit in a boring class all day.

Inquiry based international education, raising inquiring, knowledgeable and caring citizens of the world.

I just read the ONE bad review given on this school and cannot believe it. My daughter goes to CCJDS and absolutely loves it. Just like the child mentioned in the poor review - we put our daughter here after extreme bullying at her former school. What she found was acceptance, guidance and friendship. CCJDS is a home away from home - a community and a school - not to mention the fantastic education and spiritual element. I look forward to the years to come at CCJDS, and I cannot wait until my younger child is ready for her K-8 at CCJDS. We simply could not have asked for a better school or a better fit. If you are looking for a Jewish Day School in the Bay Area, I strongly recommend you come and tour.

Best elementary school from all CVUSD elementary schools

I can’t imagine a better school. Our kids enjoyed and still enjoy an excellent education based on the schools’ comprehensive curriculum and outstanding teachers. Our son graduated after attending GISSV’s Middle and High School at the MV campus and immediately started in one of the top 5 Universities in Germany (Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings data 2018). His language skills he acquired at GISSV have already encouraged him to be a world citizen. Our daughter started at this San Francisco Campus in Kindergarten and is now enrolled as elementary school student. We are impressed by the schools’ nurturing of her interests and curiosity and fostering growth in her understanding of the world. We see her apply the head, heart and hands model for transformational learning every day. [The model shows the holistic nature of transformative experience and relates the cognitive domain (head) to critical reflection, the affective domain (heart) to relational knowing and the psychomotor domain (hands) to engagement]. She enjoys applying mathematical concepts in daily routines and creative projects. She continuously takes her time to observe and assess various projects and scientific phenomena from different angles –and hands on. She independently and proudly makes connections and applies her learning experiences in school to out-of-school activities, eager to explore more and follow-up on new discoveries and accomplishments. She brings home books from the school library and requests us to hear her read before and after dinner and breakfast. While on the road or on the bike, she happily sings songs in several languages addressing natural, cultural or social concepts. We feel very blessed having found this school for our kids. As parents, we are thankful for the way the elementary and middle school community at the San Francisco campus appreciates the growth of all students. We were touched to hear teachers read out excerpts of beautifully written stories by the students. Sharing in this way with the whole community sitting in a circle on the Presidio school lawn what the precise accomplishment of a student was –made the students feel truly recognized and distinguished, (something even more than a grade or prize could accomplish). Seeing the student’s lovely performances, and just spotting the joyful faces or laughter among students during a school day is what makes us appreciate this school. Every child deserves such experiences during their forming education years!
