This is my first week at this senior School

Odd, that 1 star review is clearly the review of an unhappy tenant for a landlord. Misfiled, I supposed. Back to Waverly - we love Waverly! Our son, now a HS Junior, has been at Waverly since elementary school. At each stage in his development as a person and a student, Waverly has given him what needs to thrive. He loves learning, and has great plans for his future. There are a lot of choices for private high schools in the Pasadena area, but we believe we have found the best school for our son.

My son learn so much he love the teacher the place is clean and nice

It's OK.

We just started at FWS, with a son in kindergarten and a daughter in the third grade. While we understood that it was a co-op, I don't think my husband and I realized how much work would be involved. But all the hard work is so worth it, with the payoff being incredibly happy and engaged kids. Our ultra academically-inclined daughter found herself bored in her previous LAUSD school, which serviced thousands of kids. Still, we were worried that the size of FWS (with about 50 students total, across four classrooms) would be a huge culture shock for her. As it turns out, she loves the new environment, where bullying is non-existent thanks to the school's social-emotional curriculum that involves productive conflict resolution. And individualized, inquiry-based learning means she's never bored. She explores, creates and has fun doing it. Our son is different - not as precocious as his sister. And, typical of a baby of the family, he can experience separation anxiety. Yet he's so happy at FWS, in a loving environment where he is encouraged and supported. Both kids are more aware of the world around them, and are developing true compassion (which is hard to cultivate these days). I love the small class sizes, the creative focus (art, theater and music classes) and physical and outdoor learning (yoga, field trips, park days). And you know what? We as parents are finding that it's pretty awesome to work hard with like-minded (and, dare I say it, cool) parents toward the common goal of creating this incredible learning environment for our kids. In case you couldn't tell, we couldn't be happier so far.

Top notch education. Each of our three children were fortunate enough to attend Chandler and it made a huge impact upon their respective lives. Each was molded by the challenging curriculum, caring educators and lifelong friends that they quickly made. I found that it struck a great balance between developing the kids academically, socially and ethically. My children were very well prepared for future endeavors in high school and college.

Excelsior School make my dream become true.

My great nephew goes to this school and says it's fun!

Our child has been going to Judson for a few years now. We love it. She is given personalized attention and she is kept challenged. The student population is very diverse from all around the world, which we also like a lot. Students that graduate are top of their class at the institutions where they continue their education. Most important for us - our daughter is genuinely loved by her teachers.

We enrolled our two kids at Weizmann Day School with a lot of anxiety. We had moved our son around from several schools and really wanted to find a good fit. We have discovered that all the teachers are fantastic--they deeply care about their students and the class size is small enough that learning can be flexible according to the individual student needs. Our kids get far more art and music education, as well as P.E., than they received through the public school system. The parent community is fantastic. Loving, caring families that don't get into some of the status issues of high profile private schools like financial one-upsmanship. This is a small school, so you need to be comfortable with having your child in a small group of kids that will follow them through their elementary years. Our kids are thriving and happy and love their school.

Really good camp.Camp Falcon
