This school presents itself as supportive and student-centered, but my experience was the complete…read moreopposite. Instead of protecting students, certain staff members contributed to an environment where bullying and emotional abuse were ignored--or worse, encouraged. When issues were brought to the attention of teachers or administrators, they were often dismissed, minimized, or turned back on the student. Some staff spoke in demeaning, sarcastic, or intimidating ways, which made students feel unsafe and powerless. Rather than intervening, adults in authority sometimes sided with aggressors or treated students as if they were the problem for speaking up. The lack of accountability was extremely damaging. Policies against bullying seemed to exist only on paper, with little to no follow-through. Students were left feeling unheard, anxious, and afraid to attend school. A school should be a place of learning and growth, not fear. Until this institution takes real responsibility, provides proper training for staff, and genuinely listens to students, it fails to meet even the most basic standards of care and safety.

These kids have plenty of time for movement throughout their day with class engagement both in and outside classroom . The kids do lots of hands on learning with science experiments, gardening, woodworking, knitting, painting and lots of language literacy through theater plays and class engagement. The school teaching methods are based on Rudolph Steiner's pedagogy which focuses on the needs of the child. A big focus is teaching the whole child following human developmental studies. The parent involvment and community of this school is terrific and every school event has been filled with so much fun and is very family friendly. I love this school. I would highly recommend it to many.

They welcome all Evangelical Christians with the understanding that the classroom and Biblical instruction is taught from the perspective of the Westminster Standards and Reformed Confessions of Faith. In addition, the Administrators, School Board (with multiple parents serving) and Teachers really value parent involvement. My spouse and I are involved and our input is appreciated. If you are looking for a co-op-like school that you can be involved with -- CCA is for you! My child's Kindergarten teacher was very receptive to working with me. Last year my child learned to read, write (handwrite and cursive), was doing addition and subtraction. He grew tremendously in confidence and sense of self. My child also memorized multiple poems and Bible verses during the year in addition to 60+ questions and answers of the Catechism for Young Children. The staff creates an environment where all of the children, grades K-8, encourage and support one another. When my son comes to school, the other kids run up to the gate jumping up and down to welcome him. He loves school! The teachers helped to fuel my child's interests as well. All of the students presented in their Science Fair last year, including the Kinders, and my child LOVED it because he is really excited about science. The school sets aside specific days for the arts and PE and the students perform (music and drama!) each year. We are going to start our second year with CCA. We are so excited to have some new teachers this year too! Check it out :)

I admire their energy and the parents who have been supporting the school. I can trust the sisters to provide religious education to my child. I appreciate all the parents' work fundraising for the school projects and the school staff for keeping the environment safe and caring for the students.

The teachers are all career preschool teachers with low turnover and deeply invest in getting to know kids as individuals. They've built my son's confidence and empowered my daughter's independence.

The staff and admin is highly communicative and they've committed to a model that ensures family involvement. The schedules provide a variety of fits for different family needs. The community as a whole is the best of Costa Mesa / HB vibes. Most importantly, my kids are taught about Jesus from an extended community of influences they admire. Can't wait for another year here!
