I felt like we made so many connections and I didn't want things to change! But we were welcomed in sooooo fast and now I can't imagine sending my kids anywhere else. It's like a second home, I'm even doing. The women's bible study there now. There are lots of ways to get connected if you want to. The teachers are so kind, so patient, and loving. My son told me after the first day of first grade that his teacher is the sweetest and he loved his new class,. The principle is such a Godly man. When he spoke about the schools mission to teach these children to know and love the Lord, I could see his genuine love for what he does. You can tell every teacher loves their job and there's a really welcoming, small town feel to this school. Ok Iv raved enough. Here are the cons: parking is semi limited (which really is only a problem on event nights-I think every school has that issue to some degree), umm I think that's it actually. Yep, that's my only con. ‍

I am the parent of a high-school neurodivergent student…read more We spent several months prior to entering high-school dilligently researching several local online and in-person programs to find the very best environment for our daughter here in Orange County, CA. On paper, Crean Lutheran checked all the right boxes; (1) smaller class sizes, (2) a "learning success program" for kids with diagnosed learning disabilities, (3) good education, and (4) social opportunities. We met with the LSP team and they met with our daughter --- seemed like a good fit all the way around. Unfortunately, the program did not at all live up to our hopes and expectations. (1) Teachers were not proactive in addressing academic progress (or deficiency) -- in some cases seemed to hand out more packets than actually teach the subject, (2) the LSP team lacked specific experience and expertise with mental health and learning disabilities, (3) despite it being communicated on numerous occasions, the support staff did not engage in assisting our daughter with self-advocacy (rather putting the burden of something she clearly struggles with back onto her --- which severely impacted her social and emotional anxiety) --- lots of prayer but little action -- as a parent, just disappointed the adults in the room did not step up. Last but not least, the last message that was sent (crystal clear) to us and our daughter is that the graduation metrics meant more than helping a student in supporting her academic and mental health challenges --- seems to be out of alignment with their religious values. Our daughter and ourselves are devastated -- but she is smart, talented, and an overall amazing girl who is going to show the world what she is made of.

This school is absolutely AMAZING! We live in Costa Mesa and the drive to Laguna Woods is worth it…read more(although I did dread the drive for the first 2 weeks). We were happy with our past public school and weren't shopping for a new school until COVID-19 closed in-person learning. Our kids now write in cursive and public speak. They read classic books and study art history! We are truly blown away every week with the information our kids are learning and retaining, not to mention what we are learning as parents...How many of you know how many countries are in Africa and their location?!? That would be my 2nd grader. States in Australia anyone?? Just my 4th grader! I can brag on and on about the curriculum and all the knowledge my kids have, but you're probably thinking, "that's great lady, but how long are your kids studying to achieve such greatness?". The answer is simple, give or take an hour a day. Right?!? shocking! With our 20 min drive home, the kids will start their homework in the car and will even quiz each other! #winning. I have no concerns about new math being taught or a Sexx Ed curriculum creeping in a book or a discussion. I appreciate the open communication I have with our teachers and the staff. I appreciate a progress report when our kids are having a challenging time on a concept, a playground spat, or praise. If you are reading this review then you are shopping around for a school...I highly encourage a tour! My husband and I said, "only one year of private school". Three weeks in and my husband and I agreed we would continue another year and by mid October our kids asked if they could continue to attend Geneva till eight grade. Check it out yourself, I promise you won't be disappointed. FYI both our kids learning abilities were very different at public school and we were well aware of the strengths/weaknesses with both children. Since the Geneva School both our kids are thriving.

Please keep in mind that management may have changed since 2022…read more We transitioned to this preschool the same year the long time director transitioned out. The program changed immensely and we witnessed a myriad of concerning behaviors from the director- including making fun of those with tattoos, comments regarding disability status, laughing at inappropriate times, and an overall lack of social skills.

Terrible school. My last review was removed however it does not violate any yelp policies because…read morethis review is not critiquing COVID-19 policies. I am critiquing the way that this school handled this particular issue regarding my daughter. Rather than informing parents that masking would temporarily return, they instead tied an adult sized mask to my 2 year olds face that was so large, that it went from her eyes to her neck. The school claims they notified parents however many other parents at the time with me were confused and wondering as to why they were also not informed. Had I been informed I would have gladly put a child mask on my toddler. I had no issue with the mask but wanted to at least get eye to eye with her so I could assure her everything was going to be okay because she was born in 2020 and was terrified of masks literally her entire life and needed to comfort her and reassure her. They instead tied the adult mask to her face and carried her away. I immediately removed her from the school because of how this was handled. Again, to the yelp moderators that are going to flag this again, I am NOT against the masks! The principal rudely told me, I'm sorry we don't agree with your masking philosophy. I'm not against the masks! I'm against the way that you handled this incident with a 2 year old! I proceeded to leave a bad review to which I was called multiple times by their staff asking to remove it. I will not. Yelp, this review violates no policies. Never again New Horizons.
