Private Schools

My daughter is in first grade (completing K there last year) and I could not be more happy with the school. The small group work has allowed her to work at her level, and feel challenged yet supported. The special subject teachers are great. Every day I pick her up, I always ask her what was her favorite part of the day, and it is almost something different. The new song she learned in Spanish, the game they played in PE, the iPads they use on Fridays, the Alice in Wonderland song they learned in music, the drawing she made in computers, the book she picked at the library, etc. The school has a small environment and family feeling, yet has the facilities and space of a larger school. Tons of outdoor space for the kids to run around. I love that they get up to 30 minutes of playground time in the morning between drop off and start of school, plus 2 twenty minute recces times, and daily PE. The teachers and administration are very responsive. I had questions about how my daughter was doing in class, and immediately scheduled a meeting with the teacher and the director of education, where they walked through every question I had, and gave helpful suggestions on how to improve things for her. The school is so smoothly run, everything from morning drop off and pick up routine, teacher escorts from your car with umbrellas on rainy days, and special performances. We look forward to many more years at Carden Academy.

Amazing staff, great outdoor space for the kids, fantastic staff, perfectly sized classrooms, and the staff is prefect. There's no other place I'd want my kids to get their early education. My 5-year-old loves the curriculum, and comments DAILY how much he loves going to school. Thank you to Mary and staff!

Very beautiful place and clearly built with love

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。

Pretty good

Small school, but wonderful teachers.

This is a small, independent (WASC-accredited school). It is college prep, but in a collegial not competitive way. Students have a lot of say in how the school works. They sit on a rules committee and propose classes. They also have a cool camping trip at the beginning and end of each school year, so students really bond with the teachers and their fellow students. In the spring they have special programs and may travel internationally. But the real strength of the school lies in the teachers. They are super and really connect with students. Classes are all seminar style and the average class is 12 students. It's not the school for you if you want a football team, but if you are into Futsal, they've a co-ed team! Students leave Maybeck well-prepared for college and are admitted all over the country to Ivy Leagues, liberal arts, and state schools. The point is more about learning and creating independent learners. It's very inclusive and welcoming. Check it out.

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.

A place with wonderful staff and caring teachers.
