I grieve for the child who wanted nothing more but to learn and was continually hamstrung by subpar, below average teachers who resented being there and a reflective administration. Leadership seems to always rot at the head. I recall there was one legendary teacher, Mr. Begg, who passed away over a decade ago. I'm grateful I was able to be his student. Incredible. RIP. Some things never change.

First, I do not want to minimize anyone's reviews regarding behavioral issues at the school, such…read moreas bullying and sexual assault. I had hoped to be a little more insulated in a Waldorf environment, but our school has not escaped such issues. The administration is growing into less tolerance, more support, and quicker action, and there is still work to be done, of which I believe the administration is acutely aware. However, I caution you regarding complaints about the pedagogy and academic pace. Waldorf IS NOT the same as other schools. The pace is very different. Reading is taught, but not as early as regular public schools - instead the focus of early education is on social development, and tactile and experiential learning. If you put a child into Waldorf and pull them out before 7th or 8th grade, they will be behind academically in comparison to their peers in public schools. Not because they don't learn, they just don't learn at the same pace and order. Our students assimilate into public high schools with no problem. Waldorf is not for everyone, and that's ok! This school, like many others, is navigating staffing, funding, and support issues while trying to create a contained space for its students. They aren't always successful, and there have been some significant missteps to be sure, but there are so many amazing staff members who work tirelessly to serve their students. My recommendation is read about Waldorf Education, then read the reviews, and then - if you think Waldorf is right for your kiddo - go on a tour, meet some faculty, and decide for yourself. Overall, I think this school has been a wonderful experience for our family - not perfect by any means - my child has attended this school for 9 years, since kindergarten.

Green Oaks consistently maintains the highest API in the San Juan Unified school district. Their 5th graders even had the highest science STAR scores in Sacramento county last year. The learning is there, and students are challenged with enriching activities. When you walk around campus you see kids who are respectful toward one another and who follow the rules. Great after school programs like Choir, Dance (taught by a former Kings dancer) and piano are offered for a nominal fee. Before school, the school offers band to 4th-6th graders for free. The teachers are experienced and teach what works. They know their stuff and the kids love each and every one of them. The kids are happy, the teachers love to be there, and parents feel safe leaving their kids for the day. It's an amazing school, in a massive school district, and it's performing above the rest.

The faculty is incredibly knowledgeable and really care about the student's success. On top of typical curriculum, they teach them life skills, like how to stay within a budget at the grocery store. They also teach them music, art, and go on field trips monthly. Additionally, they do not give homework but encourage family reading time. And more importantly, during parent-teacher conferences they not only discuss areas of improvement but also what they plan to do to help your child succeed. I can't say enough about the school. I definitely recommend coming by to do a tour and see all of the amazing things they have to offer.

My son has been attending Almondale Academy for a little over a year. One of the first things we…read morenoticed about the campus is how spacious and serene it is. It has so much outdoor space for the kids to play and explore, and the fact that there are visiting peacocks and chickens wandering around just adds to the charm. My son loves bringing home little nature "souvenirs" like feathers and cool rocks and sticks he finds at school, and they've become prized possessions in his room. The atmosphere is really calm and peaceful, which makes it a wonderful learning environment. The small class sizes are another huge plus and allow the teachers to give each student the attention they need. The staff here genuinely care about the kids, both academically and emotionally. I've been amazed at how the teachers, staff and even the other students have really helped my son come out of his shell. Despite being previously enrolled in preschool, he was quite shy and introverted when he first started kindergarten. He's now really flourishing and every day I can see the positive impact everybody at Almondale is having on him. I can't say enough good things about the staff and teachers. They're kind, attentive, and genuinely care about each student. My son isn't just another kid in a classroom; the staff and teachers truly take the time to understand his strengths and challenges and work with him every day to help him thrive, which is something I really value. Almondale Academy has been a perfect fit for our son, and I'm so glad we made the choice to enroll him here. If you're looking for a nurturing, supportive, and academically solid school, I highly recommend checking it out.

I'd HIGHLY recommend Visions in Education if you're looking for a home school, but if you want to go to options get any other teacher except Artin. He didn't track my work and scores properly, which resulted in being short on credits. Please research who your child is placed with here & proceed cautiously!

Whether you're behind on credits, disconnected from school, want to graduate early, need to tend to responsibilities outside of school, or simply desire a non-traditional learning environment, OFY's dedicated staff want to help you reach your academic goals. We believe the student-teacher relationship is critical to the development of a young person's social, emotional, and academic well-being. When you visit one of our centers, you'll find students working one-on-one with highly qualified, passionate teachers and advisors. OFY also offers students the opportunity to engage in a variety of learning styles, creating what we call a 'blended' learning model. This innovative approach to education allows students to learn with great flexibility through: independent study, small group (SGI) classes, online courses, single-subject tutoring, and hands-on experiential activities, trips, and cultural excursions. Many OFY schools are Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners. From enrollment to graduation, these partnerships empower OFY students to prepare for success in today's economy through career exposure, networking events, college and career entry planning, critical skill building, and certificate and internship opportunities.
