Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Aggressive and Hostile Behavior Towards My Children…read moreTo the Leadership of the French School: I am writing to express my profound disappointment and anger regarding a traumatic incident that occurred today at approximately 4:30 PM. My children are enrolled in a class held at your facility at 5:00 PM. As we often do, we arrived about half an hour early. My six-year-old child, feeling an urgent need to use the restroom, ran directly into the gym where their activities are typically held; I was unable to stop them in time. At that same moment, your staff member, Rod Lanthier, began shouting aggressively at my other child who was nearby. The situation became chaotic: I was forced to protect the child who was being shouted at outside, while Mr. Lanthier actively blocked me from entering the gym to retrieve my other child, preventing me from reaching them in time. This outburst terrified my children. They were so shaken that they immediately begged to leave, and they are now deeply distressed and unwilling to return to this facility because of the hostility and frightening behavior they experienced. It is entirely standard and reasonable for students and parents to arrive early for classes. If your organization lacks the kindness and patience to interact with children, your staff is clearly unfit for this environment. Please be advised that this matter is being taken very seriously. My children are deeply traumatized, and I will be seeking psychological support for them due to this incident. Consider this formal notice; you can expect to hear from our legal counsel shortly regarding Mr. Lanthier's actions. Sincerely, Paul

Fantastic, this school is a gem. The education the children get is just incredible. And I say so…read moreafter our two children having attended two other highly-regarded private schools in Orange County. What's so great about it? - The learning experience is unmatched: the teacher to student ratio is outstanding. It allows the children to learn faster, and more, a lot more! - The teachers and staff are excellent. But the big differentiator with other schools where that may be true too (perhaps not to the same extent though): everyone on staff cares! There is a great degree of accountability. - Safe! Courtesy of the Assistant Principal (Mr Rod) who is a retired Firefighter, everything is up to code and very well thought out. - Great facilities: this is a great little campus with a safe and ample parking lot for drop-off/pick-up and events, the classrooms are very nice, it's a safe building, and they have a great gymnasium for sports and weather days! - Super well organized. This school is a very well-oiled machine. We have two children in different classes this year. Not one hick-up, everything was extremely well communicated, and we even get a small paper reminder ahead of events or key items to remember. Only for French-speaking families? No! Think of this school as a top-tier school that will prepare students exceptionally well to continue in the public American system. It is designed for this (maths are in English etc.). The awesome benefit is that the children have a second language in their portfolio. So, do you need to already speak French to attend? No, unless entering at 3rd grade. You can have your children enter up to 2nd grade with no prior French experience. Should you tour this school? ABSOLUTELY! They are not pushy at all so there is really no strings attached. Ask to see the yearbook if they have one handy. You'll see how much effort they put into this school by just looking at it. It's amazing, and, included in your tuitions (and so are lunches on every single Friday of the year... as a parent, that's much appreciated!) Small school, great results.

Eastside Christian School has been such a blessing for our family. The whole environment is truly…read moreChrist-centered, you feel it as soon as you walk in. The junior high, high school teacher is such a great Christian role model for the students, both in and out of the classroom. The biblical teaching here is so much stronger than what students get at your church youth groups especially if you attend a small church with less resources. Not sure what will happen in the future when the school gets bigger but the principal has 1:1 meetings with every student to help them choose their courses and college/career paths. It's currently the most affordable Christian private school in OC. If you want a great Christian education that is actually affordable, definitely look into Eastside.

Overall, we like the instructors and they have a good program. They have a well maintained…read morefacility and I like that everyone has their own art materials. Love that they give kids a portfolio and take photos that get sent you. Only downside is their makeup policy, which requires you complete the class within the same week and the same month. It's clearly stated policy when you sign up so I appreciate the honesty. But this means if you go on vacation you essentially lose a class if it's a week long trip or if you go during a week that falls in between months. I get that they are running a business and need to establish rules but I think in todays world flexibility in business is necessary esp if you have a long term relationship with clients.

Fibo has been a blessing to us. Our summer wouldn't have been easier without Fibo. Jasmine and her…read morecrew were generous to offer free classes during this trying time. Fibo has been a silver lining. I had to share this experience -- I signed my child up for a free craft activity session by a leading craft store. My child was not too inclined but we tried anyway. At the end of the session we could not get anywhere close to a finished product. It was a zoom webinar. In comparison, we were reminded of Fibo's structured webinar sessions. Fibo is a 'bar raiser'. We have enjoyed quality art right from the days Fibo offered all-free classes. Jasmine's creativity is out of the box. We sincerely wish Fibo and crew the best and will support in every way we can. We highly recommend Fibo.
