I am so happy to be out of this school after so many teachers would tell their students to shut up. Not a great experience. If you are a student that goes to Sexton Mountain and you are reading this, I am deeply sorry and I am praying for you.

He has second degree burns, multiple blisters half the size of golf balls on his shoulders. When i called to speak to the school, the teacher in charge that day started yelling and saying it was my 7 year old sons fault for not coming to them to ask for sunscreen. I asked for a refund for the last week of camp due to the quality of care, missing the last day due to pain, and the entire weekend he spent crying and unable to put on a shirt. I was told they wouldn't even meet to discuss a refund for over a month.

The PE classes keep you healthy with lots of creative fun and games that excitingly change through out the week. And Music that you also learn from none other than the amazing Heidi Lentz will make you get a head start in perfect vocals and lots of fun game with instruments. I may be 13 years old but as a student who went to this school k-5th I would highly recommend this to any parents looking for a school for there kids.

The school was great until they started pushing Comprehensive Sexuality Education agenda on my…read morechild. The teachers are great but obviously have to abide by ODE guidelines. I think it's inappropriate for my kid's third grade teacher to tell my kid and the class that they could choose to be a boy, a girl, or a neither on any given day by holding up a number line with a boy on one side, girl on the other, and neither in the middle. The part that angers me the most is that there was no phone call or email to parents so that we can follow up with our own child. I had to find out by asking her if she knew what "gender" meant, and that's when she told me. I fought for gay rights alongside my gay brother and gay sister in the 90s and 00s, so I am not a hater. But I do believe that telling a YOUNG child they could choose to change their gender, planting that seed and confusion in their heads, knowing the psychological and physical effects including mutilation of bodies as well as hormone therapy causing horrible side effects and possibility of being sterile, is just crossing the line in my book. I asked my daughter how she felt when she heard her teacher say this, and she replied "I forgot what 1 + 1 was".

I moved to oregon and finished all my primary education, came back to so cal for college and have been here ever since. i've lived in la longer than anywhere else. yet why do i call oregon home? maybe i don't want to be an angeleno. or maybe home is where you go to high school? whenever i am home in beaverton, oregon. i tend to drive around my area to see how things have changed and i always drive by sunset. i slow down and lower my window and just linger and look at the sign about the new game, or school play and let it all come back to me. how i remember high school and how it really was, is probably 2 different things. i thought i was a character, memorable. i remember speaking to mr. shlegal, a teacher i really got along with, a lot of time had passed but he didn't remember me. he was sorry but told me class clowns like me come through ever year. i remember mr. coply my ap econ and ap history teacher. i saw him some place and he didn't recognize me. i thought i was an econ and history prodigy but probably one of me every year... though one person i swear does recognize me is my old wrestling coach, coach parker. haha i always got this notion he still holds a grudge when i quit the team my senior year. whats funny is i still wrestle and compete to this very day, but now its more like ufc (not useful funny cool but ultimate fighting championship) style. i remember when westview was built and our school looked old and small and they took half our students and all our best athletes...freakin westview!!! i remember friends becoming enemies, friends being separated, because of new school boundaries... i remember break dancing in the halls. listening to my walkman at all times. wearing my letterman's jacket as a badge of honor and pride. pride... some kids hate their high school, or their experience. high school was rough. but needed to make me who i am. i made life long friends i still talk to, not a lot of people can say that. my best friend from then is my best friend now. my car from then is my car still. hey who says sam can't keep a long term relationship! i even still wrestler dammit haha. i still got school pride. i remember blushing when girls used to ask me for my jackets or if i could show them a move, or for me to dance a lil bit. i remember making home movies with my friends with hopes of becoming a filmmaker. i remember writing a lot. i remember picking on a lot of other people and smacking kids around. the bullied becomes the bully sometimes. i remember smoking behind the school, i remember drinking at my friends house and falling in love with liquor. I remember catcher in the rye and robert cormier books and the great gatsby and ethan frome and crime and punishment and so many more. i remember garretty and zinn. i remember warm summers eating outside, laughing, and care free eating orange creamcicles. before i was an adult. i was a human being. it was almost idyllic, or thats how i remember it. i remember what it felt like to be at home. i remember pride. sunset apollos.

We have been with Carden for over 6 years, so we have seen it all. In 2009 November when I first…read morewalked into the school seeking admission for my then almost 4 year old, the school had a total of 15 students and had just moved to their new location. I had been actively looking and comparing different private schools within a specific budget, and Carden came out as the best of all of my choices. It is a year round school, with options to sign in for day-care after school. This was a blessing for us working parents. School also provides options for extracurricular activities such as Chess, Taekwondo, Yoga, and Zumba. The school has since grown to over 100 children. And has office staff that support the teachers. The Teachers are the best of the best. Dedicated and nurturing. The Student to Teacher ratio is at most 1:4. Now, let's get to the crux. All Carden schools follow Mae Carden Principles and curriculum. These are different from standard methodologies, but believe me, they work. Carden children are very well behaved. They excel in Spelling bees, Math Competitions, Science Fairs, Robotic Competitions, you name it. You will not go wrong enrolling your child here. For those who would consider cost as a key factor, you are paying the money to the teacher. In other schools most of my payment goes to the day-care. (This is assuming a full day at school).

I love this school! This is my 7th year there and I have two children there. The focus is on…read moreperseverance, good manners and kind behavior. Academics are very strong and each child gets to learn at her own pace. I love the fact that they have PE and Mandarin three times a week and have superb music and art teachers. My children love to go to school every day which is certainly not what my husband and I remember from our school days! I especially appreciate the year round calendar and the extended care. These are very convenient for working parents. The extended care has many actives like yoga, soccer, taekwondo, chess and dance. Having been at the school for so many years, I understand where some of the bad reviews are coming from - there were some issues with the administration some years ago, mostly due to growing pains, but those were resolved. The school is bottom heavy with fewer children in the higher grades. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on one's child I think. Personally I love the 1:1 attention my children are able to receive. It is a very joyful and happy place and I feel very privileged to be able to send my children there.
