Private Schools

I went here. It was cool.

Absolutely a great special education school. My son attends this school and is actually likely to graduate early. This is a Non public school alternative for special needs students and requires an IEP and placement from the home school district. This is a school for kids whose placement in a district based special education program has either been unsuccessful or problematic. Contrary to a previous review, the staff are caring and treat the students with respect. Some of the students have extreme special needs which requires the time out rooms or possibly hands on if a student becomes violent. The hall monitors are there for the student and staff safety. I have personally seen students bolt for the front door and staff having to run after them, that is why doors are locked. In addition the locked doors protect other students if one student becomes violent and stops the spead of that violence. In addition to a wonderful curriculum, they offer on and off site vocational education to aid in skill development and help with learning the skills for choices after graduation. This includes job search skills (interview and resume skills, how to look for a job), college prep and how to choose a school and advocate at the college level for assistive services, and skills through the vocational education. Staff is amazing and caring! Students can stay until they graduate even if they are in their 20's. My son has gained confidence in his abilities to ask for what he needs.

Love Carden School! We have a 19 year old daughter that went there and now have a 7 year old boy that goes there.Great teacher and outstanding staff. The curriculum is wonderful. Before and after school care is INCLUDED in the tuition too.

The best place 😃

My daughters have loved it here!!

My two sons have been to both locations. The north and south. They have been going to the south location and I would not recommend this daycare center. The staff their is not attentive. They blame their management for all of their issues, which is very unprofessional. I think with the care they provide it is an over priced daycare. I'll be so glad when my children no longer attend this daycare. I am moving soon.

hey man this school is probably the best one in the area for people who just simply don't fit in anywhere else. i arrived at this school after coming home from a therapeutic boarding school with a lot of anxiety about another school (been to 11 different schools.... didnt fit in) but the warm smiling faces and friendly students have helped me come out of my shell

Great baseball team

0/10, I was promised ghosts and haven't seen any, thumbs down

Tengo a mis nenas son alumnas de tan gloriosa escuela!

UC Academy is a great school, with caring faculty and staff, and a deep commitment to the growth of every child. In the 11 years she has been attending, (we started at the old Upland Campus), our daughter has grown, in knowledge, spiritual maturity, and as a person, in part because of the guidance they provide. I think there is no better school to partner with, if you want your child to grow in the Lord and get a great education. We are looking forward to our daughter's last few high school years and know it will continue to be a great experience.

Our middle school students are the reason I love coming to work every day. The enjoyment they have for learning and just seeing you in the morning is unmatched and the love and leadership they show for their school is inspiring. I currently serve as the Vice Principal of the Middle School at Southlands and have been so blessed by the community that has developed over my 5 years. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us in the years to come. Parent involvement is amazing and I have worked closely with the parents of my students as both a teacher and an administrator to accomplish many things including fundraising goals, the correcting of student behavior, implementing individual learning goals, and so much more. Parents take such an active role in our PTF and truly work to support the teachers and staff. The middle school sports program has enjoyed numerous successful seasons in all sports including 5 championships in the San Gabriel Valley league over the last 6 years. Coaches focus on the importance of competition and “winning well”, but more importantly how to compete in the spirit of sportsmanship and dealing with adversity and defeat in a Christ-like manner. Our arts program is outstanding and this last year I had the pleasure of teaching a group of young ladies who participated in and won “Best of Show” in the annual ACSI Technology Fair for their work on a Point of View movie they made about a girl growing up in middle school. One of the things I look forward every year is our 8th grade annual trip to Washington D.C. I get to see students open up and make friends they can only make on a trip across the country, all while enjoying and learning about our nation’s rich and diverse history through visiting and touring national monuments and memorials. The smiles and stories I witness each year make this one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Overall, Southlands is a school that is dedicated to the development of the “whole-child” by loving them as Christ does, guiding them in character building, and challenging them academically to become the unique leaders of tomorrow that God has created them to be. The values that we instill in our students are built on and strengthened each day by our dedicated teachers who work tirelessly to reach each student where they are regardless of ability level. Our class sizes make it possible for teachers to customize lessons to a specific child if needed, which leads to better retention of knowledge and an understanding on the child’s part that “I can succeed”. Being a part of this team has been an experience that has grown in me every sense of the word, and the people I get to work with on a daily basis are part of that growth.  Eagles Soar!

I am going to start by saying I work at Kings Valley, but both my students (preschool and a second grader) go to KV. We absolutely love it. The teachers and administration are top notch, and the campus is best one around in my opinion. I highly recommend taking a tour to check it out. You most likely will be surprised and delighted by what you see.
