There are too many things to write about but I would say morale in general has been depleted at…read morethis campus and is why many have left the school. It is a mystery why the principal sent her child to public school instead of her campus but that speaks volumes and has not helped morale. High percentages of faculty quitting, surf club, gardening club, lab rats, summer school, galas, dances, continue to be canceled or non existent for lack of participation. It is so horrible. Please save the school Diocese of Orange! The employee in the office with hair dyed the color of a fire truck, against the school dress code also sends a confusing message and expectation.

My son attended Oso Grande Elementary and unfortunately had a very negative experience. He was…read morerepeatedly bullied by other students, including comments mocking his Asian background and racial slurs. We reported these incidents to school staff and supervisors multiple times. While some staff members were kind, we felt our concerns were not taken seriously and the response was inadequate. The bullying continued, and we never felt our child was properly protected or supported. As parents, it was heartbreaking to watch our child struggle while feeling that the adults responsible for student safety were not doing enough. Ultimately, we decided to move him to another school. I hope the school improves its response to bullying and discrimination so that other families do not have the same experience.

Not sure what the prior review from ANABELLA is about...but this was not our experience at all. Ladera Ranch is a great place to raise kids and the school district is amazing. If there is any complaint, it would be that the kid drop off and pick up can be a bit of a process but that should have no impact on the great education that the kids receive while attending here.

!!!!!! Don't purchase any packages here. You will regret it…read more Be very careful before purchasing a large prepaid package from this learning center. Our family prepaid for a 60-hour package. After using part of the program, we experienced concerns regarding the instructional quality and teaching experience. We even requested a teacher change during the program due to teaching style concerns. Unfortunately, the issues persisted and the program became a source of frustration and stress for our child. We decided to discontinue the program with 44 hours still unused. What surprised us most was that despite having approximately $2,468 worth of unused hours remaining, the center refused any refund and relied entirely on a non-refundable policy. The only options offered were to keep the package on hold indefinitely or continue using services that were no longer working for our child. My advice to other parents: do not prepay for a large package unless you are completely certain the program, teachers, and teaching style are the right fit for your child. Teaching quality and student experience are important factors that cannot be fully evaluated in advance, and if problems arise later, you may have no practical way to recover the unused balance. I am sharing this experience so other families can make an informed decision before committing thousands of dollars upfront.

The parents and the teachers and administrators are very involved in the students' success. The PTA puts on a lot of fun events- both learning (like Mad Science Guy assembly) and "just-for-fun" types of events like Funky Friday, Fun on the Run Truck, Family events like After School Art, Lunch with a Loved One, and the Foundation is so supportive with after school programs (like Moana Musical, After School Art, Science, and other initiatives to improve the quality of education and experience with the school. The counselor is very active with the kids like Lunch with the Counselor to learn social-emotional skills, Mental Health Awareness Month, spirit days etc. We were a little hesitant to enroll at first, but we are so glad we did!

Parent involvement is very strong and encouraged. The school events are plentiful and always so fun and well attended.

The director Joan Lundbohm is the reason I chose to leave my previous school to teach under her as my director. She has so much experience and knowledge in early childhood. Joan is an amazing leader and boss. It has been a privilege and a blessing to work with her. The entire staff at Our Savior's works so well together. We work as a team and it really is a beautiful thing. I am supported by all of the staff every single day. This team truly loves what we do! I felt so welcomed by all of the families when starting the school year! The families at Our Savior's are THE most caring, kind and compassionate families I know. They welcomed me with open arms and it truly meant so much. I highly recommend Our Savior's to not only be your preschool but to become your community. It takes a village to raise your children and Our Savior's should be a part of YOUR village! When you walk on this campus you feel Christ's love. The Holy Spirit is moving on this campus!!!

Choosing San Clemente Christian School has been one of the best decisions we've made for our…read morefamily. Our daughter has been a student here for three years now, and the transformation we have witnessed is nothing short of amazing. We've seen her confidence soar and her academic skills sharpen, but the most rewarding part has been watching her faith and understanding of the Bible deepen. It is clear that the passionate teachers and staff are not just educators; they are mentors who lead with their hearts and a shared faith foundation. A few things that really set SCCS apart for us: * Small Class Sizes: The individualized attention our daughter receives has been so good for her growth. * Safety & Security: We have peace of mind every single day knowing the SCCS team fosters such a safe and secure environment. * The Community: The social opportunities for both students and parents are incredible. It's a place where family values are celebrated, and we've built lasting friendships with other families who share our values. If you are looking for a Christian school in San Clemente that feels like an extension of your home and community, we cannot recommend SCCS enough. It provides the perfect balance of a curriculum and a supportive, faith-filled community that truly prepares our kiddos for the future.
