    This is a review for Synapse's TK program. My son has been in Teacher Mickey & Teacher Natasha's…read moreclass for a year this year. My son's TK experience has been truly above and beyond what we wanted for early childhood education. All the great activities that foster joyful learning, all the field trips, events that bring the community together have been so beautifully thought out and planned, we had no idea this kind of education was even possible for little kids. We were grateful each day when we sent my son to school, because we trusted that he would be well taken care of and have a good time. It meant a lot to us as parents. The teachers cared so much about students' happiness, well-being, and materials they were learning. They truly, genuinely cared, and all the parents of TK students could feel it. Throughout the year, we were constantly impressed by the teachers' willingness to go above and beyond. These teachers are not ordinary teachers who rely on easier field trips or simpler projects. They take kids to the most interesting and enriching places on their field trips, places such as ice skating rinks, beaches, ponds where you can catch tadpoles, senior centers, pumpkin patches, cactus garden, etc. Their creativity and willingness to get messy were also truly inspiring. The TK class built an awe-inspiring life-size whale shark together and had so much fun celebrating Holi. The TK class cooked great lunches and sold them to parents as well. The teachers went an extra mile, even though it meant so much more work for themselves, because they have a genuine passion for sprinkling curiosity and exploration in their students. We also deeply appreciated how they created so many opportunities to recognize diverse cultures and bring families together for events like Diwali and Lunar New Year. They were extra careful to include all of the countries' traditions, which gave my son a sense of belonging and harbored a pride in his heritage. We are immensely grateful and feel incredibly honored that my son had such thoughtful, dedicated, and innovative teachers like them. Knowing he was in their care gave us immense peace of mind. And this review is not just about TK teachers at Synapse. Everyone we met at Synapse has been genuinely nice and down to earth. All the teachers, staff, students and parents formed such a warm, wonderful community.

    We have been at Peninsula for 5 years.  Over that time, our son has overcome attention and social…read moreengagement challenges which prevented him from succeeding at other private schools.     It is difficult to know how to credit the people, the place, the other students, external help and just the passage of time,    but he has enjoyed going to school every day. He has always been an extremely curious kid,  choosing to tinker and watch documentaries when other kids choose video games and play sports.    (OK OK he plays video games a little more now).       He turned out to be a great natural reader.  However he has challenges with processing speed and working memory.      Given that, the school has really fed his curiosity and met him where he is, sometimes adapting small groupings with similar levels in math or other topics,  and being able to offer some accommodations like sitting near the front, scaffolding tasks, or headphones.   Each year has been different, but we have found a way to work with each teacher to support him.       We have an older child in a much more "structured" prep-y private school.   The contrast in community and experience is stark.   Peninsula is a haven of good-willed people looking for something a little bit missing in the modern world, which has been a source of connection for us as adults as well.    While we value both environments, Peninsula has been the right answer for our younger child and for our family.

The school allowed a metal stick to be thrown at my son's head and refuse to take the stick away from the yard, saying it's a normal toy.( Let us pray all 5 year old know the correct use of stilt). The non- caring attitude afterward is beyond comprehension. In addition, the ineffective ways of dealing with bullying from the same person who throw the metal stick, both mentally and physically, has negatively impact our family life, and my son's health, resulting an early withdrawal from the school year and on going therapy session for my 6 years old for $350/50 mins. The school also denied our access to school counselor during these trouble time.

They are now stepping up to CCS Division I and will be taking on top ranked Bellarmine for the coveted championship. I'm amazed at how next door Menlo School and nearby Menlo-Atherton, Gunn and Palo Alto High School also field great water polo teams. If you kid likes the sport then you've found your place! As for the rest of the school - I love the large open campus. The chapel is tucked away in the original building and they have since built 2 separate campuses for the lower, middle and high school kids. If you are looking for a Catholic High School with excellent academics then you should Sacred Heart compares favorably to Mountain View's St Francis, San Mateo's Serra (all boy), Burlingame's Notre Dame and Mercy (both all girl) high schools. Great community.

Spending time at Sacred Heart is more like being at a year-long camp or country club - a special place that cultivates and encourages the whole child. It's a place where families come and all community members are invited to participate in the many programs and activities on campus. The administration is available to parents and students alike and no other school has a head of schools as caring as Rich Dioli.

    That negativity is nonsense. Don't let the distorted views of others sway your opinion of Oak…read moreKnoll. The reality is school quality is multidimensional. At most schools, student engagement, developing citizenship skills, social and emotional health, and critical thinking are often overlooked and secondary to test scores. That's not the case at Oak Knoll. Often revered as the best public school in the area, Oak Knoll rivals any private school in Silicon Valley. Our two oldest children were prepared exceptionally well for public middle and private high school. This preparedness went beyond academics. They had developed life skills like empathy, self-efficacy, and accountability. Strengths this generation needs more than ever to succeed in the modern post-COVID world. We considered relocating to the east coast for business, and after researching and touring the schools, it quickly became evident that Oak Knoll outperformed every school we considered. Ultimately, we left that professional opportunity on the table to keep our kids at Oak Knoll. Leadership and community here are fueled by empathy. Every teacher we know in the district wants to work at Oak Knoll. That should be evidence enough.

The teachers and staff go above and beyond, and have created a very special, warm environment with a strong sense of community. There is a clear focus on academics and individual progression, as well as on a child's social and emotional development. I could not be happier with my children's educational experience.
