Concerns About Honesty and Educational Quality…read more As a parent, choosing the right school for your child is paramount. It's with a heavy heart that I write this review for Stevenson (RLS) Carmel Campus, which my child attended for multiple school years. I believe in providing honest feedback to help other parents make informed decisions. Pros: * The hot lunch program at the school is commendable. The variety and quality of food offered are impressive and appreciated. *Initially, their "specials" program was robust and enriching, thanks to a team of talented teachers. However, now the majority of the lower school special teachers, who were very talented, left the school. Cons: * Honesty and Transparency: One of the significant issues we've faced is with the school's administration. There's a disturbing pattern of misinformation and lack of transparency. This ranges from trivial matters like outdoor activity times to critical aspects of our children's academic and social-emotional experiences. It's been disheartening to untangle these inconsistencies as a parent community. *Educational Quality: When it comes to academics, the school unfortunately falls short compared to other independent institutions. Despite claims of offering differentiated learning, the reality doesn't match up. The one-size-fits-all approach fails to meet the diverse needs of students. *Staff Turnover: The specials program, once a highlight of the school, has suffered due to the departure of many talented educators. This loss has noticeably impacted the quality of the program. Conclusion: While I appreciate the efforts made in certain areas like the lunch program, the overarching issues around honesty and educational quality are too significant to overlook. I had hoped for a more transparent, nurturing, and academically challenging environment for my child. For parents considering Stevenson, I urge you to thoroughly research and look into other options. The well-being and education of our children are too important to compromise. We have a group of post-Stevenson families and the common theme is how thankful we are that we decided to leave, how much better our kids' new schools are, and how much happier our kids are.

By far one of the proudest moments on Friday was watching my little brother graduate. It has been a…read morehard last few years as a family and watching him on Friday was definitely exciting (a new chapter opening up for him and our family). I had always had my reservations about my family moving down to Carmel five years ago but if my family did it all over, I would have not wanted it any other way. The ceremony spoke to what is important at Carmel High- letting students pursue their interests and ensuring they succeed. Where these students are going is impressive-- various UCs, CSUs, military academies, Berklee School of Music, various out of state colleges, vocational and community colleges.... very cool. For a small school they offer 15 AP classes which is ridiculously "hardcore." As an educator and a counselor I was impressed at how much they offered and how many students took these classes. The ceremony also boasted several music performances including a personal pieces by a student who was recognized at the local Jazz festival..... more importantly.... the ceremony continually hit the point that students like coming to this school.. the people here like to teach, counsel and enrich students' lives. The farewells to the principal and AP were very touching.. I want to say thank you for being a part of my brother's life and helping him be a prepared for his next phase in life :-D

We're all out of kids, but if I had to make a recommendation for friends, it would definitely be Elishers!

It was my…read morefirst time in Cali, and since I've always wanted to learn how to surf--especially living near the water at the Jersey Shore--I knew this was the perfect opportunity. While visiting, we booked a lesson with Surf School Santa Cruz, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we met our instructor, Ryan, he made us feel comfortable and excited to get out on the water. He stayed right by our side the entire time, offering encouragement and guidance that kept us motivated. Learning to surf with Ryan was such an incredible experience--he's not only an amazing teacher but also truly one of the best surfers out there. If you've ever thought about trying surfing, I can't recommend Surf School Santa Cruz (and Ryan!) enough.
