The staff are nice Mrs. Gonzalez was such a great teacher and Mr. Steller along with Mr. Gutierrez. They made my days better and they were the reason I wanted to go to school every single day.

I recently attended my grandson's 8th grade graduation from Calvary Christian Academy.  What a…read moregreat ceremony with less than 40 students graduating, it went by quickly.  We are so used to sitting on some hot bleachers for two hours before they call your kid's name off the list at other schools. This was in a very nice air conditioned, newly remodeled auditorium. He is my second grandchild to graduate from this school, we still have one more to go and a handful of nieces & nephews who also attend. So overall we have been coming here to school performances and Holiday shows since my eldest grandson started here in 2011. He is now in High School at Mater Dei. I was a bit reticent when they started going to this school because I would have preferred them to attend a Catholic private school. Because we are Catholic. But as usual time has proven me wrong. The wonderful academic excellence and innovation, that this school provides has showed me that, the right choice was made. I see how happy and well rounded my grandkids have become. They are into sports, music; one plays the cello incredibly well. It seems that this school places a high priority on individual achievements, probably due to the 13:1 student teacher ratio. All of this with the added benefit of providing a moral education along with the academic one. The school is very well maintained, and the staff is incredible. Grandparents are treated as special guests; we even have a special day when the kids perform just for us. So, in my humble opinion this is one of, if not the finest private pre-school to 8th grade school in Chula Vista. I am a fan and I guess always have been. I highly recommend this illustrious private school!

Every teacher…read moreis loving and caring for their class and their families and they do the best they do to accommodate. I know this because I was able to see the inside of things. These teachers pray for their students, they take the time to make sure things are prepared for their students. And the director and assistant director or wonderful. This is a wonderful, safe and healthy environment for any preschool family from any form of background. One thing I loved about this school when I first started working there was even if you don't believe or aren't a Christian, this school will still accept you. And that to me, shows their true hearts.

I am extremely disappointed in the way my son's case was handled by the pre school department/…read morespecial education teacher. I obtained an IEP for my child for speech and decided paradise hills elementary is the best choice for placement. I had finally got through the enrollment process and received a email notifying me of his start date. I arrived to the school on the day he was supposed to start & was sent back home due the incompetence of the special education teacher Ms. Angelina who failed to give me a call to prepare for his first day and confirm weather or not any additional documentation was needed. The following day I received a phone call from her and she stated she was out on his start date due to being sick which is understandable. I asked her why she couldn't give me a call before his start date and her excuse was also that she wasn't feeling well. I asked her to take accountability for the lack of preparation she had for his start date and she refused stating she had other things to do. Without a doubt i was not going to leave my child who is 3 years old to someone who can't do their job correctly and can't even acknowledge her mistakes. I was looking forward in ending the year with some type of schooling for my son as he is so eager to step foot into a school setting unfortunately due to this experience I now have worry's for my child entering school. It's sad and discouraging that schools treat parents and students like this when all we look for is someone who is going to provide our child with a safe and good learning environment for our children but can't do their job correctly. Especially when you hold the title of being a special education teacher. This was my experience and I hope moving forward things change but I will not put my child in the hands of ms Angelina. And I hope this brings awareness to any one seeking to enroll their child to preschool program.

I was blessed to be a parent at Tiffany Elementary since 2022. I had two children attend Tiffany in…read morethe Dual Immersion (DI) program. Throughout our time at Tiffany, overall it was a fantastic school. Things I loved: - The principal & staff were always extremely involved on a personal level and knew us by name. - A few times I had concerns and the principal right away welcomed me into her office and gave me all the time I needed to answer any questions until I felt really solid. She is an awesome principal... very logical & fair. - They offer DI. I really wanted my children to do the DI program. My older son had challenges in the program, but the challenges were specific to him. We don't speak Spanish at home & he was resisting learning Spanish. The teachers were very accommodating & provided us with many resources. In the end we decided to pull him out of the program at the end of 3rd grade. My daughter on the other hand was flourishing in the DI program. Every child is so different. - When my son was in Kinder & First grade he had some behavioral issues. They allowed him to see the school counselor and that was so helpful and an amazing resource. - It has a real family friendly vibe. The families are all very much involved. The 6th graders act like kids and dress like kids. It has a nice little neighborhood small tight knit community feel. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5: - I felt like my son wasn't doing well in DI since 1st grade & I kept bringing that up to the teachers & principal, however I felt like they kept encouraging me to keep him in and just stick it out although my concern was year after year. - I did not have the best experience with my son's 1st grade teacher. She would say he was "bad" and when I asked her what was bad about his behavior she couldn't give me anything specific except he had high energy, which in my opinion is normal for a 5/6 year old boy. She was a new teacher to the school that year and luckily was transferred to a grade that was more appropriate to what she can handle. I will say though I started volunteering in the class and after that gave her so much grace. The class was really high energy and I wish she was given a TA to help her - My daughter's TK year was really inconsistent. For half the year the teacher was out and it was a bunch of different substitutes. Luckily my daughter is resilient and didn't mind, but I saw a lot of other kids have trouble that year. Overall though I loved this school. The challenges I had were things that were out of the principal and staffs control and I look back and truly know they did the best they could. I would highly recommend this school.

Every single day I hope I don't see her in the streets and she falsely asks me how I am and how it's nice to see me after all these years. Her name was Ms.Griffin (I think she's since been married... Poor guy) She had that 'let me talk talk to your manager' hair cut. I remember her being really mean to all the girls in the class and nonchalantly low key flirting with all the boys (we were 9-10 years old wtf !) and the next door teacher, Mr.Shy (uhm excuse me lady he was married !!) , and I remember her making at least three girls cry. One because she covered her eye with her hair and made fun of her till she cried (along with another teacher), and the second because we had a girl who really enjoyed the next door teacher mr.shy ( he was really cool !!) and she said something and me.griffin snapped and said 'God Brittany, don't be such a kiss ass !'.. She said that to a 5th grader and she made me cry for dress coding me AFTER SCHOOL HOURS ! . She really had it out for the females. Oh but the trouble maker boys ? Nah, she loved to talk to them and be nice. She had all 3 trouble maker boys of the 5th grade class in her classroom. She was also extremely raunchy and inappropriate when she would bend over (on purpose) in front of the trouble maker boys exposing her thong ! (One day it was an American flag ). I've had MANY MANY teachers and professors since , and have never had a teacher traumatize me as much as Ms.Griffin. I still think of her. Every.day. How bad does a teacher have to be to remember her everyday 12 years later ? EDIT: ms.griffin is appearantly Mrs.scott now. Surprisingly she's married . Poor dude . Still a fifth grade teacher
