The students and their families are very supportive and contribute a lot to make this school the best it is. There are 28-30 students per teacher per grade and only one teacher per grade. Basically, the children move from one grade to the next and grow up together. This type of environment creates a strong bond and friendship between the students.

I used to love this school, but unfortunately the recent administration has been disappointing. In…read moremy experience, the principal seems to rely too heavily on strict policies without enough consideration for individual circumstances. I have witnessed a lot of unfairness in the way situations are handled, particularly involving students with special needs. From what I have observed, there seems to be very little patience, flexibility, or understanding for their individual needs, which has been deeply disappointing. A year ago, before the new administration, I would have wholeheartedly recommended this school. Today, I would encourage families to explore other options. I have also found it difficult to address concerns with the parish leadership. In my experience, the priest is rarely available, and when concerns are raised, he has supported the principal by saying, "I used to be a teacher, so I agree with her," rather than addressing the specific issues being brought forward. That response left me feeling that my concerns were not genuinely heard or considered.

Ive had three children attend FLS. My first two were fine. But they fired the professional…read moreseasoned principal. They appointed the inexperienced first grade teacher as the principal. She lacks the leadership experience and education to lead the school to its next chapter. This school also lacks instructor diversity. The school is led by all women that previously attended the school and now work there in order to get a discounted tuition and preferential treatment. Currently there are two male teachers. There is only one PE teacher and she a friend of the leadership team. Consequently they all live in a bubble. The academic curriculum has declined and is outdated. The principal refuses to implement curriculum to improve the technology and AI curriculum. There is only one computer teacher and the students meet once a week. They lack excellent foreign language, music and arts instructors. I would not recommend this school if you are looking for a quality Christian private school. Please do your research your child(s) education depends on it.

This school has 2 huge grass area where the kids can play and hang out underneath the trees. They also have a garden!! I am impressed how the front office knows every single student by name. We have a new principal and she interacts with the students. You can see her in the morning or during dismissal in the front gate greeting everyone. This school is really a treasure!

The teachers are wonderful and especially given the difficult few years we have all experienced, they have gone above and beyond for our kids. Mary and Angela in the front office are amazing! They are so helpful and friendly - a great resource to the parents, students and the PTA. Dr. Remland, Mr. Daugherty and Mr. Sam figured out how to bring energy and community back to Fern even while we were shut down during Covid and I highly recommend going back and checking out YouTube to see the wonderful spirit of those running the show at our great school: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8GTZ4JoFiS0BRpfRCQpxTg To those that have had a negative experience at Fern, there are unfortunately still many shortcomings in our public school system and I do not discount your experience nor invalidate the need for TUSD to listen and learn from marginalized voices and do better.

The school is California Distinguished School and also a recipient of National Exemplary School title. The school teaches grades from pre-kindergarden to fifth grade. I attended this school growing up and had many memorable experiences. From the teachers to the events, all have been widely positive. The school actively tries to get its students involved in the community. As part of the Torrance Unified School District (TUSD), the school works under a board of trusted advisors and directors. The parents find themselves actively involved with the board and administration of the district and school.
