    My daughter Amelia loves singing and dancing. She has learned so much so quickly thanks to the smaller class sizes and individual attention.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but sadly this will be my first…read more This was my parish growing up, I even attended their elementary school. My uncle passed away last year, and it was at his funeral services that this experience occurred. My 17 year old son went up for Communion. He has been baptized, made his First Communion, and attended Catholic school. But, since it had been a while since he had been to church. I am not sure if he was just nervous, but he didn't have his hands out. The priest, in a loud and scolding voice, asked if he had made his First Communion. When my son quietly said "Yes," and the priest turned him away. If a young person comes up to the altar looking unsure, wouldn't it be more appropriate to kindly invite them to cross their arms and receive a blessing? To guide them in a welcoming tone? What if it was someone with another faith, that didn't know what to do at a Catholic funeral? Was that really an appropriate response at the alter? About a month later, I saw the same priest at another family service. Afterward, I approached him to share what happened and suggest a gentler approach. His response? He said he did that because sometimes people receive the host and later throw it on the floor. What? I was stunned at how arrogantly he spoke. I even told him, "Normally, one might respond with, 'I'm sorry for that experience,' or 'I didn't intend my words to come across that way, I'll reflect on how I could have handled it differently.'" Instead, he brushed me off with, "Oh, okay. I have another appointment," and walked away. This was deeply disappointing. If a young person looks unsure at the altar, shouldn't the response be gentle guidance, not public humiliation? In a time when churches are struggling to keep young people engaged, or someone who is possibly exploring their faith again, I expected compassion. What would Jesus do? What would Jesus say?

Our experience with this school was extremely disappointing. LGBTQ+ students did not feel welcomed or safe. Instead of creating an environment where students could learn and grow, the school treated harmless self-expression as something inappropriate. Students who were simply trying to be themselves faced constant scrutiny, disciplinary action, and pressure to hide their identities. We also witnessed another transgender student eventually leave the school after experiencing similar treatment. One of the most concerning aspects was the constant monitoring. Certain students were watched far more closely than others, their belongings were searched, and their online activity through school resources was monitored. Physical contact by staff sometimes occurred in ways that made students uncomfortable, and there was little sense of privacy or trust. Beyond the treatment of students, the quality of education was also disappointing. The curriculum felt extremely limited and did not adequately prepare students to understand the world around them. There was very little emphasis on learning about different cultures, perspectives, or real-world issues. Instead of encouraging curiosity, questions, and independent thinking, the school seemed more focused on enforcing conformity. The school environment often felt based on fear rather than support. Students learned to stay quiet instead of asking honest questions or expressing themselves because they were worried about getting into trouble. This school may appeal to families who specifically want this type of environment, but families looking for a school that values inclusion, academic growth, respect, and emotional well-being should carefully consider other options. Every child deserves to be treated with dignity and to receive an education that prepares them for the diverse world they will live in. Edited: Hello Jenna C., my child attended CLS around 2017. Please respect the amount of money we spent on your education.

    We are so incredibly thankful that we found Christ Lutheran for our children! When considering…read moreprivate schools, we visited several local campuses and were overwhelmed with a feeling of safety and belonging when we entered Christ Lutheran. The staff are kind, committed, and caring, and the campus itself is beautiful with a large grass soccer field and full track, lots of outdoor play space, and a calm and inviting vibe. It immediately felt "different" when we walked into this beautiful school for the first time. The wonderful families that welcomed us made it feel even more like a home. One huge benefit of a K-8 school is that kids get to avoid a lot of the akwardness of middle-school because they continue right on from preschool through 8th grade in the same environment and with the same group of kids. That continuity takes away a lot of the stress and anxiety that middle school can impose. We also love the quality of the education here - our kids consistently test in the top tier of local students and are accepted to academically rigorous magnet and gifted programs for High School. Some really cool things about Christ Lutheran include the amazing trips students take as a class - 5th graders go to Astro Camp and spend two nights there learning about astronomy and science up in the mountains of Idyllwild. 6th grade does a 3-night trip to an outdoor education center where they hike, learn about the natural world, zip line, and make smores by a campfire. 7th grade travels to Catalina for several nights where students explore nature, kayak, snorkel, and learn about our unique coastal California ecosystems. And 8th grade spends a week visiting Washington D.C. and New York City, going to pretty much every major monument, memorial and landmark, visiting the smithsonian and congress, civil war battle fields, and even seeing a live show on Broadway. We are thrilled with our Christ Lutheran experience and the safe, academically rigorous, and nurturing environment that it has provided for our children. My family never expected to be at a private school, but looking back now I wish we'd found Christ Lutheran sooner. If you are looking for a safe place to send your kids where they can grow and thrive in the South Bay, this is your best bet. This video they published recently really tells the story of Christ Lutheran. https://youtu.be/1l6Klfu5Qys?si=f4iVOZItLgzlDQUq
