    The Arbor Learning Community is a lifesaver for families who value instilling a love of lifelong…read morelearning in their kids. Our girls have attended for the last 5 years and consistently come out of Arbor classes inspired to pursue their intellectual curiosity. The staff and teachers are highly capable learning guides who find a way to make just about any lesson a hands-on experience. They are also always at the ready to engage both gifted and intellectually curious students in a meaningful way which results in a non-competitive, collaborative learning environment. If you homeschool and/or if your kids need customized education in an accepting environment, then you should seriously consider these online and in-person class options at the Arbor.

It is more a collective of parents who think they understand how to run a learning environment but are wholly unprepared to do so. There are no written policies which allows them to create rules at any time and make any decision about your child's schooling. There is no avenue for parents to advocate for your child or come to a fair resolution. Your child can be told they are in violation of rules that you don't even know existed. In addition, your student can be accused of a violation and the school administration will not even bother to speak to you or your student to get the full story. There is no attempt to be fair or impartial. Once the school decides they don't like your student, your student is done there. Some of the teachers are great but the school is run so poorly that it is not worth the money. Send your child anywhere else.

My girl will turn 4 soon. What I especially like about the program is that the tutors really take their time to monitor the progress of individual students. Thank you Ms Sheeza and team!

It is important to listen and retain information about neurotoxin-modulators and fillers do's and DONT'S. Lisa hammer's the importance of being a SAFE injector. She has a wonderful PowerPoint presentation, a take-home manual, and additional resources. I believe the best was the amount of time each individual person had with the hands-on and getting the chance to inject. Literally we had over 4 hours of practice injections. I highly recommend taking this class compared to larger companies with 25-30 students and the limited time allowed to inject. The intimate setting allows you to be comfortable asking questions and even taking the time to assess the patients correctly. I was able to use my mother and sister as my models. I definitely will be returning to Lisa for the advance injectable course in the future. Furthermore, this class is also CEU approved and will obtain a certificate to add on the resume. I understand that it is a lot of money but investing in yourself, gaining knowledge and skills is priceless.

    My first grader attended the 2024 summer program at Young Scholars Academy ("YSA") and now attends…read morethe writing class during the 2025 school year. She has always been a pretty good student, but YSA has made her much better. It's as if she is a different student now than she was before that summer, especially with confidence in writing. She has learned so many things so organically that it was fun for her. She also has amassed a notebook of "beautiful sentences" (her words) that she constructs each week for YSA and from which she later picks and chooses phrases for poetry/creative writing. This has directly led her to win awards at national literature competitions, which I don't think she would have done had she not been in YSA. What more, she has made friends at YSA through the entertaining field trips and Fun Fridays. She was the new girl, but the kids attending YSA were all very kind, friendly, and generous. My daughter didn't want the summer to end! And I can't say enough good things about her teachers and Ms. Esther, the director. The teachers at YSA are creative and detail-oriented, and they give the kids so much individualized attention because the class size is so small (6 to 8 students per teacher). Then there's Ms. Esther, who you can tell from the start really loves kids and cares about how they are doing. She knows each student by name and who their parents are, she regularly sends detailed texts and photos showing how the kids are doing, and her interaction with each child is colored by warmth. For example, she thinks so much about each child's well-being that she will gently move children into the shade at lunch lest they get too much sun (such a mom thing to do but so bracing to see when someone does it for your child). She also makes sure that they wash their hands at the right times, that they have all their belongings with them, and that they eat what their moms want them to eat before rushing off to play. Wow! The children are taken care of so well--physically, emotionally, and academically. Overall, YSA is superb, and I will sing its praises to no end.

We liked that he was able to work in the middle school-age content/cohort and push his growth beyond what he was getting in his regular 6th grade school class. We are very happy with the results, and my son didn't want to stop attending (rare for an academy!) when we recently let YSA go to focus on other activities. Miss Esther is always positive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Her teachers did a good job of connecting with our son and motivating him to keep learning and developing. Things went well enough that we made a request for a series of special, private sessions to prepare my son for the written portion of the Whitney HS admissions exam. Miss Esther and her team worked out a schedule over the course of a month, and our son felt very confident and prepared for the exam. He felt good both before and after the test and ended up earning admission to Whitney! We are appreciative of the care and investment that the YSA team made in our son. We can't think of a higher recommendation than to say we are already planning to enroll our daughter at YSA in about a year when she prepares for middle school.

    Finding a college advisor was difficult as you don't know what you'll get until you pay a huge…read moreamount of money and have valuable time spent. We focused on businesses where the owner was the advisor and learned the questions to ask that would align with our kid's needs. The problem with the first college advisor I contacted was he pushed the need to do research and gave online options. My son already won a competition researching articles for an idea he had and didn't feel the need to do an online version. He wasn't able to find a hands-on opportunity so he didn't want to go with someone who thought online research was the only path to success. James, the business owner and current sole advisor of Academic & Career Mentors, worked with my son's interests and advised on an individual basis rather than making him into a cookie cutter applicant. Before meeting James, we hired someone who had ~150 five star reviews on Google and over a decade experience as a scholarship reader at a top UC. Though there were red flags in our interaction, I mistakenly trusted the reviews/his background. He had a structured program, but time was moved along without effective guidance. His limited feedback was superficial and generic: add numbers and buzz words and cut down the word count. He gave the go ahead for essays that needed a lot more work. My son was frustrated by the lack of depth in his responses. When I voiced my concern, he suggested to my kid that he worked better without parent involvement. After ~1.5 months/6 meetings, the guy still didn't know my son's profile. With push back, I received half of my money back, probably to lessen the likelihood of me writing a bad review as I had detailed what was poorly done/not done at each meeting. For my son, James was much more effective/efficient with the meetings. He reviewed a couple of essays each time with more thoughtful detailed feedback and guidance for revisions. He spent time thinking through how to make the story, evidence, and connection stronger. He met with my son 1-2x/week which I don't think many advisors would do that frequently. He was accessible via email for quick questions and was timely in responding. I did interview another person while interviewing James. My son felt the other person was very personable and easy to talk to. However, after a lot of questioning about how he would handle essays, I sensed there would be limited in-depth analysis as well. To meet our desire, he was going to pay an essay reader (English major) to spend ~1-2 hrs on the PIQs and possibly 1-2 hrs on the common app to give more detail feedback. This led me to hire James as he seemed more invested (would give more effort, time, depth of feedback, comprehensive help, ie help with supportive essays as well, and wasn't as much on the clock). After getting to know my son and reading the PIQs he had drafted, James recommended to switch to another PIQ to allow better explanation of "the why" in my son's motives/ decisions. He worked with my son on the content, message, and ease of understanding as a reader. My son found him to be helpful in brainstorming ideas on how to tell his story and in finding programs that were specific to a school to give more evidence as to why he wanted to go to "x" school. James is a very analytical and fast thinker. As you are talking, he is searching his computer for more specific supported answers. He was also receptive to feedback when I read an essay and felt it didn't help my son stand out enough. He helped my son complete his applications on time. We've only heard back from one school (he felt it was a target school for him) so far that my son applied early action to, and he was accepted. Even with hiring James for help with applications to the UCs and 2 in-state private schools, my son had others, including his English teacher, read his essays for more feedback and because he applied to 5 out-of-state competitive private schools on his own. (James' fee structure/advising model has changed for 2026 though so you might not be able to pay for x number of schools anymore). He wrote and rewrote each of his essays multiple times. So to us, not only is James professional and ethical in his business, he is also very dedicated and proactive. He advises with the care of individuals (young people) in mind.
