OK, that's a stretch but close. Plus: The kids like it. Colleges admissions like Santa Susana too. Minus: Bureaucratic, disorganized, frustrating dealing with faculty and administrators. No faculty member or administrator seems to know what's going on with anything school related outside the classroom. Can't be us, other parents had no clue how to negotiate the red tape either. Like going to the DMV. Consensus is staff hides behind the red tape. Just start filling out forms and hope it gets to the right people. Forget talking to the faculty or Admin. It'll never happen. Santa Su is for self motivated, smart kids. Not for kids who's parents blame their child's learning problems and issues on others. Also if your child is stupid, lazy or a trouble maker they won't make it here. Santa Susana School is not for everyone.

From the moment he arrived, the administration met him exactly where he was and helped guide him to where he needed to be. They saw him for who he truly is, celebrated his individuality, and supported him in ways that made all the difference. This school offers so much more than a traditional academic experience. It challenges students intellectually while also encouraging them to explore a wide range of interests and areas of study. Most importantly, it creates a space where students feel valued, understood, and empowered to grow -- both academically and personally. If you're looking for a school that will truly invest in your child, recognize their unique potential, and give them the tools to thrive, I cannot recommend Ivy Tech highly enough.
