When I started researching schools for my first child, I had a long list of requirements: a…read moreMandarin immersion program (culturally important to us), strong safety protocols, happy and stable teachers, and a philosophy of raising respectful global citizens--not just checking boxes for academics. I asked every question I could think of, from how they handle sickness to how teachers are supported, and I observed everything from class ratios to daily routines. We visited several schools, but ultimately chose Frontiers, and I'm so glad we did. The difference was clear: attrition among instructors was low, and my son's teacher had been there for many years. To me, happy teachers = happy kids. From the start, the staff were warm, communicative, and professional. I've been consistently impressed by their attention to detail, safety standards, and how thoughtfully they care for each child. Beyond the nurturing environment, the academics are truly top-notch. It's a trilingual school so teaches in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. The curriculum is rigorous; I love that my son is being challenged intellectually while also building confidence, creativity, and curiosity. What gave me peace of mind is knowing my child is not only in a stable environment but also one where learning is engaging, meaningful, and sets a high bar. Communication has been excellent--I always feel in the loop. I've seen firsthand that the children are thriving, not only in Spanish or Mandarin but in all aspects of their development. If you're a parent who values stability, honesty, safety, and outstanding academics in a school culture where teachers are genuinely happy--Frontiers stands out. It checked every box on my list.

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Gaowa Montessori…read more We first visited during an open house before the school had even opened. We were immediately impressed by the beautiful campus, and how clean everything was. We were so confident in what we saw that we put down a deposit that day, and our son started the following spring when he was two years old. Gaowa has been an incredible place for him. They nurtured his natural curiosity and love of learning, especially when it came to reading and math. He was reading before he turned four, and I truly believe his teachers played a huge role in fostering his love of reading, even bringing in chapter books just for him. When our son was four, we went through a period where he was having some behavioral challenges. Instead of blaming him or us, or making him feel like he was a "problem child," the teachers worked alongside us to give us tools to help him. They approached the situation with patience, compassion, and genuine care, and I'm incredibly thankful for the way they supported our family during that time. We put our daughter on the waitlist before she was even born. She attends Gaowa now, and we've made the decision to keep her there for TK instead of moving her to public school because the education and nurturing environment are exceptional. The teachers genuinely care about the children. They know each child as an individual and create an environment where kids feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. Like any newer school, Gaowa experienced some growing pains in the beginning. There was more staff turnover than we would have liked during those early years. However, through all of that, the quality of the education remained outstanding, and over time the school has become much more stable. If you're looking for a Montessori school that provides a strong academic foundation while also nurturing independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning, I highly recommend Gaowa!

I am writing this review as a student of CLE…read more I would like to shine a light on CLE's small, close-knit and intimate community of both peers and mentors. This is by far the best feature of CLE. Every educational institute is different and depending on your needs, CLE could be the perfect fit for you, or it might not be. But if your problem lies in the realm of being anxious or being painfully shy--- or having a lack of friends and a support system--- then CLE could very well be the proper treatment for you. Let me explain: The Center, or the main office of CLE, is where all of our sessions are held. There is always a handful of staff and students at the center that I talk to when I'm there. I like to randomly pop into my advisers office to chat. He has my cards and drawings pinned up on his wall. I like to pop into one of my tutors room and ask him advice about my career and my friendships. I also like to hang out with my friends in the common room and make slap stick humor jokes but also more witty ones. Then there are the socials. You are allowed as many socials on your schedule as you want. I estimate there are about 12 hours of scheduled socials per week currently that each of us can pop into when we have time. They include the following: Disney social, Film group social, Friday Morning Social, which last for 3 hours and we go out to some place like the beach or the mall, Friday dinner social, community chill and lunch social, voice and piano social, Men's group social, and women's group social. At the apartments, most of us live with a roommate. We all live in the same apartment complex. This has allowed me and my closest friends to hang out at each other's places three times a week in addition to the socials. My roommate buys DVD's off of amazon for us to watch and cooks curry and pie every now and then to share with us. There are also a lot of food places in walking distance that I like to go to with my friends. The apparatus I just described is the method by which CLE provided their treatment to my anxiety, shyness and lack of a support system. I was painfully shy before I came to CLE and now I have many friends. That is a big change. As you can see, this is due to the community being, for lack of better phrase "intimately programmed into your daily life". Personally, I liken this aspect of CLE to a "junior version of university life"
