My son has attended Shady Oaks since October 2011, beginning in the toddler program at the age of 2…read moreand continuing into the primary class (age 3-5). I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Montessori. I had a difficult time initially understanding how the system would work. Without structured lessons, how can your child earn the necessities like reading and numbers? It turns out that by allowing my son to spend as long as HE wants on a given activity he has flourished and gone so much farther than I'd ever imagined a child his age could in the subjects that most interest him. He's working with numbers in the 10,000s and can complete geography puzzles that would have me stumped. He spent months sewing yarn on square canvases to create a box, a little bit each day. I'm astonished by the focus and dedication a child under 6 can have to a project when allowed to work on what they choose, instead of at the teacher's behest. It's been a truly eye-opening experience about education. We are definitely Montessori converts and our 2 year old will be joining in the Fall. All the teachers and staff members are kind and attentive with many years of Montessori experience. They've encouraged my son to learn while guiding him through the lessons at his pace. He's excited to show me his work and takes pride in his accomplishments. It's been an awesome experience.

I know most kids are pretty excited to start school, but this school is amazing! I hear that it was in fact designed by students, it is eco-conscious​ and the focus is truly on arts and enrichment for these kids, which is so important due to the evolution of the economy heading towards creative fields. But most importantly it's essential to their positive development​ giving them the tools that they need to thrive. They make school fun again and give opportunities to so many children to explore, create and use their imaginations to make an impact in our world. So happy to have this jewel in our community!

Like if your cool with just staying in the little social bubble of people who walk the mile then this school is the school for you. Also the education is kinda a joke, like you don't gotta try for shit if you take the regular classes, but it's kinda like that in every American school so take that as you will. So all in all this school doesn't feel like a real highschool, and it's only good for very specific people.

I've called countless times over the months and have been unable to reach anyone. They drop you from classes without reason, and the admissions office staff always have horrible attitudes. I'd love to talk about my experience as a student here, but they are so disorganized and unhelpful that I'm not able to attend this college.

No one has reviewed good ol' Shasta College? Aww…read more. Shasta College has a special place in my heart. I took like 100 units (most for fun) there pre-transfer, met many awesome teachers, worked 5 different campus part-time jobs, was in a summer production at one point, and served as ASB president in the mid-90s. For being in Redding, which was then ---much more than now--the awful middle of nowhere for a restless teenager, Shasta College offers a lot a good, dirt-cheap ways to be productive and prepare for a better future, and have fun while doing it. If teachers made a point of putting together reader packets (like they do at 4-year institutions) instead of relying on expensive textbooks (some of which are the ones they wrote themselves...ugh), I'd grant an extra star.
