I am a parent at the school. While I believe there are a lot of great schools in the Westside of…read moreLA, for our family Seven Arrows really has really delivered above and beyond our expectations. Here are just a few of the things that have us just so in love with the school: 1. Seven Arrows uses the town of the Palisades as its campus. Like a New York City school the students are using the park and other resources that the town has to offer. This makes for one of the best campuses anywhere and in my opinion going outside into the town is a great thing for social growth. 2. The individualized learning really allows for your child to excel in things they are ahead and get help on the things where they are behind. At these young ages it is hard to "make" all of the kids be at the same levels in each subject and maybe even harmful. This is at the core to Seven Arrows teaching and we have seen amazing progress in our son with this. 3. While Seven Arrows is very focussed on learning and scholastics they are able to balance this with a very strong arts program. Including a celebration of this every Friday morning where the kids, parents and teachers all gather. 4. A strong focus on giving back. This is in every part of the learning and kids do ethical leadership projects. These projects can be for anything that helps others and teach the kids how to be well rounded citizens of the world. I could go on but these are just a few reasons we thing that Seven Arrows is so special and that we are lucky that the school is here for our family to attend.

Our family has been very involved in the community and we feel blessed to to be a part of it! If you are considering Corpus Christi School for your student, please know your child will be in great hands. Not only do they give them a strong education, but they also teach the children the importance of being a good person and treating others with love and respect.

Horrible! My daughter was shoved into her locker and screamed at by her female teacher.

The school now has a new principal. Not sure about the teacher. She should have never been allowed to be around children. My daughter continues to go to therapy on a weekly basis because of the trauma endured by this teacher at Corpus Christi. She was not protected! I recommend you some extra money to make sure your kids are safe and in a nurturing environment. No child should have to go through what my daughter went through.

Beautiful Early Education Team! Beautiful Campus! We receive the most consistently sweet morning greeting by Diego or Yonni at the gates, (key pieces of the security team) and a warm farewell each day from them as well. Following that, a peaceful journey begins at the nursery. In the mornings, parents gather with the children to ease them into their day away from home. I often miss this 15 minutes of community fellowship, but I love the days that I do make it. My son sees everyone at campus and just goes right into playing. He is a very social, confident and friendly personality. I love the calm, peaceful energy that he is met with by his INCREDIBLE teacher, Archer. His teacher was also a Waldorf student and has dealt with every challenge faced from parents and students with grace and with intelligent responsiveness. He has been consistent in his temperament while meeting the varied demands of each child with flexibility. The daily snacks are apparently delicious according to my 3 year old's accounting. He wants me to make oatmeal and rice and beans the way they make it at school. He has also been known to request several servings of vegetable soup at snacktime! The thoughtfulness of the program and the creative arts is reflected in the best gifts that the children make for us parents for several occasions Not to mention the sweet festivals that feel like utopian moments carved out in time With my son at Westside Waldorf, I enjoy a peace of mind that is invaluable. I know that he is safe and happy, nurtured and building upon his natural gifts while maintaining his confidence and joyous nature. I am so happy that this is a place of peace where my son can thrive and his teacher and the team around him can focus on that work without the residue of drama and trauma that create hostile environments in so much of the world. This place is not ofcourse for everyone. Children must be mostly potty trained when they start at 2.5 years old. Parents must have a commitment to a sense of peace and calm, value a natural rhythm and nature and be commited to allowing this pedagogy to thrive by letting it flow rather than inserting some of our more mainstream worldly ways and ideas.

Tucked away hiking trail with steep hills. Came here with a friend on a Saturday morning around…read more10am to hike and while there were a lot of dog walkers (there were at least 6 different ones we ran into), the trails were pretty clear. You share it with mountain bikers. There's free parking in the residential neighborhood right at the trailhead. Dog-friendly and a lot of them were off-leash. There are certain parts of the trail that are very steep, but you can take an alternate route where it's longer but more flat. There's benches randomly interspersed on the trail. At the top, there's even a newspaper dispenser with absurdist news copies. The drive up was pretty winding but I liked how uncrowded it was.

We are very happy with our experience at Roosevelt. My daughter went from kindergarten through 5th…read moregrade, and now she's entering 8th grade at our district middle school, Lincoln MS. She started off in kindergarten with Ms. Carey, and she couldn't possibly have had a more pleasant and nurturing experience. It was the perfect introduction to her grade school experience, and set the tone for 5 more years of excellent education. I'm not going to name all of her teachers, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I can tell you without a doubt that each and every one of them has the credentials and the desire to provide an outstanding experience for their students. Our son is actually starting out in 4th grade tomorrow, and he started in Ms. Carey's kindergarten class as well. He is just as happy, excited, and well adjusted as our daughter is. They've both made lots of quality friends, and we've developed some amazing long term friendships with many families from Roosevelt. We've also had some mishaps, some big disappointments, but I think that's to be expected. We've just moved on and not dwelt on the bad experiences. I have noticed that most of the negative experiences I've seen, have been exacerbated by other parents or other kids who stirred up unnecessary drama or gossip, rather than looking at the big picture and trying to resolve issues quickly and quietly, like adults. And for sure, there are random incidents of inconsiderate behavior, by kids and parents, but overall it's very rare, and easy to resolve. They do a great job of teaching the kids respect, and compassion, in my opinion. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the public school experience my kids have gotten at Roosevelt. And I'm pretty sure a huge majority of the other parents would agree with me. It bothers me that only the ones with gripes to voice, write reviews. I'm trying to counter that here. Roosevelt definitely deserves more than a 3-star overall rating!
