Stay away from this people. This is school is so shady and predatory. I can assure you all the…read morereviews here are inaccurate because they keep asking you to write one before you even start going there. They charge you in advance for a mediocre education, and when I wanted to stop going they stopped responding and wanted to keep my money. Wouldn't respond to schedule an appointment to figure out. They only listened to me because I showed there with an American man twice my age (I'm was a 21 year old woman at the time) literally saw him and changed their attitude. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IMMIGRANTS and the fact that English is not your fist language. There are so many other schools. Save yourself the heartache and waste of money and don't go here.

I have the right to write the fact that I have experienced. This is a place that we write reviews. It is not absolutely about the student! It also shows that she is not qualified to be a good teacher. This is the worst experience in my life. There is another review about her. I am not the only one who complaining. Poonam Hemlani is the worst teacher that I have ever seen. Don't take her class. She always put us in the breakout rooms and let us talk each other. Also, I really don't understand why she always wants us to read every question and answer in the book. We are not here to read English, but learn something. I guess she might not want to teach us. And she forced the students to be out of the class without any particular reason. She kicked out me four times a day. I asked her why and tried to communicate with her, but she never responded me and she kept kicking out me. What is she going on? If you go to this school, you would be kicked out like me. And I learned nothing for two terms! It is a complete waste of money and time.

My daughter said he is able to explain things very well, in a clear way, that she understands. She has been in the enhanced math track in the Irvine school district and is going into high school next year. Howard knows the IUSD curriculum and the content that is covered so it has been very helpful for her to be able to review the material that was covered in eighth grade and also start learning the material that will be covered in ninth grade in the enhanced track. Howard is also very accommodating with the scheduling and a nice person to work with. We plan to continue throughout the academic year. So glad we listened to the recommendation given to us by our friend. Thank you, Howard!

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.

He is now…read morea 4th-grader and I am amazed and proud at how efficiently and effectively he has mastered his bilingual skills. He is reading, speaking, and writing well above his grade level in both languages. I appreciate the community and the outpouring support from all the parents. It is definitely a wonderful experience to have such close relationships with other parents not to mention the amount of parents who volunteer for just about every activity and/or fundraiser. The food is incredible. The on site chef prepares fresh and health conscious meals daily. There is allergy awareness which is a plus++ Parents can also enjoy and bond with their child over breakfast. The monthly lunch menu is available so that parents and student can chose which meals they will partake in well in advance. The parking can be difficult due to the location, however, OCEAA has implemented a valet line which makes it easy to safely drop off your child without having to deal with parking. Which brings me to the after school program, KEDS. The director and staff of KEDS are all amazing, well trained, and knowledgeable in child development. KEDS is truly an extension of the school. They have many enriching activities offered during after school such as robotics, chess, piano, martial arts, etc., in addition to children receiving structure and support in finishing up homework. Children can also Participate in clubs such as gardening club, math club, and this year, Speech and Debate club. OCEAA is excellent in helping students develop leadership skills so much so, that even though This is OCEAA's first year participating in Speech and Debate competitions, several OCEAA students have placed top 3 during tournaments and OCEAA as a whole has placed 2nd and 1st place. Overall, I am 100% glad I chose OCEAA for my family. My son has grown academically, socially, and emotionally into a thriving 10-year-old.

As I signed up for American Culture & Conversation and TOEFL, my teachers, especially teacher William, have been very helpful in my language/culture learning. Although I have been in the USA for about 6 years, I didn't learn as much about the American cultures and history as much as I have in the classes over the 3 month courses. We talk about different topics (holidays, history, politics, etc) and do practice TOEFL exams in class. The teachers are thorough, encouraging, and always think for the success of the students. One thing that is worth noting though is the efficiency of the office. I sometimes get last minute notice regarding class time change or request. Other than that, AOI is a fun and efficient place with great people and teachers. I wish we can go back to in person class when everything is safe.

When our schedules did not align and classes were missed, they were incredibly flexible with makeup lessons. Mrs. Su and her team showing truly cares about the children's development and took great care of our son.

If your child is interested in learning Mandarin and becoming fluent in reading, writing, speaking and listening, we HIGHLY recommend this school!
