Private Schools

My son's 3rd year attending Salem, it's exceeded all my expectations and theu where high!!! All the teachers that work there are completely selfless amd go above and beyond with every student. My son comes home and can't wait to do his homework and is always excited for the next school day!!! That says it all....

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!

We’ve been at Leport Carlsbad for almost two academic years now and it is my children's home away from home. They are very happy to go to school each day, full of excitement for the day ahead of them, and just as happy about their day when I pick them up. The teachers and administrators at Leport have been the most caring, professional, kind-hearted and dedicated staff I've ever met at a school. There's never been a doubt in my mind that they care deeply for my children. The parents and students are also very supportive of each other and take pride in contributing to the school community. The academic program at Leport is strong and challenging, completely tailored to each child's level, interests and skill set. Although it's a small school, Leport Carlsbad lacks for nothing when it comes to materials or resources. They take regular field trips to cultural and historic sites. The school provides opportunities for students to participate in community service activities, theatrical performances and local events such as parades, fairs, etc. There are also many lovely creative outlets for the children, from drawing to finger knitting, musical instruments and singing, to cooking and gardening. The indoor and outdoors spaces at the school are all beautiful and encourage students to feel comfortable and independent. Maria Montessori would be proud to see her philosophy embodied so well at Leport Carlsbad.

We love this school! Two very educated compassionate teachers per classroom. small class size ,have given my daughter a chance to really learn and thrive where in public school she was just overlooked. Extra curricular activities that instill a renewed sense of confidence and school spirit. We feel that she will be well prepared for college and a great future

My grandson, Jim, told me to go here, but there are no Jimmy Dean sausages. I even asked, and they didn't give me any.

Willow Creek Academy is a great private school. Mrs Willis the K/1st grade teacher is so enthusiastic and dedicated to her students. My kids really enjoyed her class everyday. The school is a very positive and warm environment. I am so glad my boys were able to be part of this school.
