I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for Ms Roy, Ms Kritika, Ms Tarika and the entire kindergarten team. They are amazing educators, and we couldn't speak more highly of them. My son recently completed the kindergarten program here and I want to speak about our experience while it's fresh in my mind. We have been so extremely happy by the academic growth he achieved this year. He is now reading confidently, working at a level ahead in math, and writing complete paragraphs. We appreciate the structured curriculum and thoughtful lesson plans that challenged him and helped him build a strong academic foundation. Thank you to his teachers and the supporting staff for their role, we can't recommend this program enough. Please consider scholars if you have any tk/kinder aged children. read more

My elder daughter has been going to scholars for over a year now. She started when she just turned 3 and we felt ready to put her into an institution from a home based daycare. It was the right decision, because we have seen her grow so much from her time at scholars. The teachers really pour their heart into nurturing and caring for the kids. She comes home with amazing art work, work sheets and tells us about all the new things she learns every week. They organize a lot of events where parents get a chance to connect with teachers and other parents. The annual spring and winter concerts are very well organized and it's rewarding to see the community come together. Overall it's been a very fulfilling experience and we're glad we found scholars ! They encourage outdoor playtime and also hone kids' personal preferences as well. Their reports are also very detailed and specific for each kid. They have also started meal service which is a huge relief for busy parents. I cannot wait to send my younger daughter to scholars once she's ready. read more

We love the care, attention and growth that my son got here at Scholars Academy. We really liked all his teachers here. They treat you like family and my son has learnt so much here read more

"It takes a village to raise a child" -- and I couldn't be more thankful for ours. Watching my daughter say goodbye to the school and people she loves has been one of the hardest things I've experienced as a mother. Every day at pickup, she's in tears, clinging to her teacher, while I try to stay strong. Her friends hug her goodbye, and even the younger students come check on her, asking if they'll ever see her again -- begging me to bring her back to visit every month. It's been so emotional, so bittersweet. What touches me the most is seeing just how deeply my daughter is loved -- and how much love she's given in return. She's made an incredible impact on her school community, and that means everything to me. A special thank you to Ms. Tarika -- your kindness, your presence, your heart. As we said our final goodbyes, you walked to our car and wrapped my daughter in one last warm embrace, reminding her that everything will be okay, that she is special, and that she's going to do amazing things at her new school. You told her how much she means to you -- and let me just say, words will never be enough to explain how much you mean to us. To Scholars: thank you for being such a powerful, positive force in my daughter's life. You've helped shape her into the strong, kind, brave girl she is -- and I will forever be grateful. read more

Have both kids currently enrolled. Ms. Tarika and all their staff are amazing and attentive. The curriculum is solid and outpaces many schools at the grade level. The rooms are always CLEAN (thank you Ms Maria!) The kids and parents have formed strong relationships with eachother and bonds that extend outside of school. Can't ask for more, go check them out during their open house and see for yourself. read more

My son is currently attending preschool at Scholars Academy. This is his second year and we are very happy with the service. Teachers and staff are caring to the children and he has learned so much. I would definitely recommend. read more

My son attended both preschool and kindergarten at Scholars Academy, and we had a wonderful experience. The teachers are warm and attentive, and the school offers a perfect blend of learning and fun. They organized great activities like spelling bees, science exhibitions, and even a school play--my son loved every bit of it! He grew in confidence, made great friends, and was more than ready for elementary school. We're so grateful for the solid foundation they gave him! read more

My daughter attended Scholars Academy between the ages of 2 and 5, and the academic foundation she received was priceless. Today as a 10th grader, my daughter is an Amazon best selling author, varsity volleyball player, concert violist, and a straight A student. We credit the fantastic early education she received at Scholars Academy! read more

Scholars Academy - Elementary Schools Near Me - San Jose, California

Nice school and excellent teachers. Great to have it so close by. My kid love going to Scholars Academy.

Scholars Academy has been like a second home to both my kids. I enrolled my daughter at the time when I was pregnant with my second child and it was just after Covid. We had tried varies other private schools and none of them suited us. Scholars welcomed my child with open arms. The teachers nurtured her so well. They looked after her like family. My daughter is thriving at Scholars and so is my son now. Scholars stands out for its commitment to overall child development. I was personally looking for a school that not only fosters academic growth but also other extracurricular activities like basketball, chess, gymnastics and such and Scholars perfectly aligns with those values. They also conduct Science fair, spelling bee and speech and debate competitions for the elementary kids. The kids are provided with exceptional training, fostering discipline in students of all age. Special shout out to the annual dance and drama show at the end of the school year. Their academics is on par or slightly above than most private schools. I would highly highly recommend Scholars to any parent. To get a complete picture of the school, please get in conversation and personal meeting with Ms. Tarika..Thank you! read more

We started sending my first child here in 2022. We love that he grew into this confident, fun loving, caring kid and not to mention social butterfly. He loves going to school see his teacher and friends daily now he tells me what he did in school what teachers helped him with etc.He is learning so much these past two years and teachers and administrators communicate really well. My second child 2 years old also just started here and I am already seeing him getting interested in potty training, water coloring etc. he jumped to go to school yesterday its only his second week in the school. We 100% recommend the school to anyone looking in the area. read more

AVOID I enrolled my son here about 2 years ago, the first couple of months was fine. Then I noticed he was coming home with bruises on his arm I asked for explanation and their response was "kids play during recess rough with each other" then my son started verbalizing he didn't want to go anymore he would cry. Should of listened but at the time I was like it's normal what kids wants to go school. Then his teacher went on a medical leave and then suddenly he didn't have any issues with going to school he came home happy, he actually looked forwarded going to school. Then that teacher came back and the issues started again coming home with bruises. I even played school with him myself and I acted as my son and him the teacher and he started aggressive yelling at me pushing my head down. I immediately reached out to them and of course they attempted to cover themselves. I immediately withdrew my son from this school due to being verbally and physically abuse! I'm surprise they still have that's teacher working there. I took him to the doctors they examined him took pictures of his bruises, I currently have an open investigation up to this date with the public department of state and the law enforcement. read more

Great place to learn. Staff were very nice and very kind. Highly recommended. Teachers were hands on ln there students.

Our son was enrolled in their Pre-school this past academic year. We had an absolute amazing experience from the admissions process to transition from being home to school to his learning throughout the school year. Ms. Ali, Ms. Tarika and all the teachers do a wonderful job with all the students. Exposure to different arts and crafts, and just learning curriculum and assessments throughout the year. His teachers (Ms. Ruth and Ms. Khyati and then Ms. Amruta) are super patient with him. He had a bit of a rough patch, but they were extremely helpful and communicated well with us on how to help him at home and what we needed to discuss and address with him. The most important thing was that they never gave up. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a pre-school or elementary school. read more

I absolutely love Scholars Academy. My daughter joined Scholars Academy when she was 4. She went to Preschool, Kindergarten and Grade 1. Ms. Ali, Ms. Tarika and Ms. Mallika are some of the best teachers I have met. They are kind, understanding and have great experience in teaching the kids. The school has science fair, spelling bee, pumpkin patch, Halloween parades, debate and so on. The school's academic curriculum is unquestionably beneficial to the kids. When all the schools shut down for pandemic, Scholars Academy started online classes faster than most of the schools I knew. They were very organized in distributing the material and made sure everyone finished their work. I highly recommend Scholars Academy to any parent who are looking for academically inclined curriculum and the kids will have fun learning. My daughter would continue here if weren't moving. Special thanks to Ms. Ali who took such a good care of my daughter when she joined Preschool with a fractured arm. :) read more

I highly recommend this school. The teachers and staff are qualified professionals who care for their students and families. We love being part of this school. We trust that our kids are well cared for and safe. read more

Our child has been going to Scholars for 3 years now and we loved it here. Ms Ali , Ms Tarika and Ms Cassandra are all great teachers and I'm happy our child got to learn from them. The school conducts spelling bees , science project competitions, debates , gives students turns to present current events , has a spring play concert all apart from the regular curriculum. The teachers are also caring and take the time to explain concepts . It's been a great all round experience for us and our child ! read more

My daughter attended Scholar's Academy during this past summer. She was quite happy, actually learning and not just playing all day. Staff was super friendly and nurturing so I decided to put her their for Kinder. What can I say? I cannot stop raving about their curriculum, and I must say I am not to be easily impressed. My daughter has learned and her confidence grew so much in just a few months. Best part is they have talent show, science fair, and current events etc. I know it could sound like a bit much for kinder but my daughter says that is why she loves being at Scholar's! Oh and tuition is much lower than some of the other schools that we have toured. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter has been going to Scholars academy from the past 3 years and it has been a wonderful experience. All teachers at Scholars are very passionate about teaching and take good care of kids. Academically Scholars is a great school to start for as they provide a very good foundation in Math, Phonics and Arts. Every year we are surprised by the skills learnt by kids at scholars. Its not just the academics, the school environment is very kid friendly.Scholars organise beautiful events and help children realize the importance of every occasion. Our daughter was very hesitant to go to school when she was 3,but thanks to the teachers and the staff now she just loves going to school. Initially we had Ms Ali guide us through the transition from home to school and we will always be grateful for the care and nurture she provided. During Pre-K our daughter was taught by Ms Vaishali, Ms Zaina and Ms Maithili and they were fantastic. They never forced the kids but made sure kids make practice as a habit. Then COVID was hit. It was hard on the family and kids. Scholars were quick to adapt and carried out the program very well. Our daughter received a great gift of learning Phonics from Ms Ruth. Her classes were so good that as parents we relived our childhood attending online classes.In kindergarten, our daughter was taught by Ms Mallika and we cant expect anything more than what she has given to the class, In terms of both Academics and discipline, Ms Mallika guided the kids lovingly. Thanks to Ms Tarika who always there to listen to us as parents and helped us understand their vision. Its just not us, as a community we have seen many of our friends send their kids to scholars and they have good words as well. Thank you scholars for providing the support to us and our kid. read more

My son has been attending Scholars Academy from when he was 3. He is now in grade 4 :). The teachers at Scholars Academy are amazing. They not only take such good care of the kids, give individual attention, love, teach them good from bad, but also discipline them when needed, just like a mother. There is overall development both on academic front and extra curricular areas. You know you made a good choice for your kid when your kid waits to go to school and tells teachers he misses them when they are not around. :) Scholars Academy has added so much fun to distance learning. There is lot of personal attention and care. All materials are provided, personalized to kids. It is very easy to talk to teachers as they are just a text away :) Glad to be part of Scholars family. Great going Scholars Academy!! read more

I am really happy with Scholars Academy. My daughter is going to Scholars since she is 3yrs old. She couldn't be more happy. she looks forward to go to school everyday and that makes me really happy:) she has picked up lot of vocabulary and the way they have designed the curriculum is really good. it is tailor made and suits perfectly for each kid. Mrs.Stephanie is just awesome. She deals with kids so patiently and also teaches lot of discipline to the kids. I strongly recommend Scholars for every kid. read more

Scholars Academy provided a great foundation for our daughter who attended the school a few years ago. Teachers were by far some of the best we have experienced - and they laid the framework for both her Math and Language skills. Sincere thanks to Ms Ruth and Ms Arshia. The entire staff is super-friendly and very accommodative. Strongly recommended. read more

My daughter has been attending Scholars Academy preschool for 14 months now and I am thankful we found this school. She was frightened to start school but after 1 or 2 days in Ms. Maithili's class she was excited to go to school. She has had Ms. Ali, Ms. Ruth and Ms. Khyati for her teachers and they are all excellent. Everyone at the school seems to genuinely care for my daughter and they work hard to provide a safe, clean environment for the kids. She has been learning so much with the reading, numbers and STEAM programs. We have been astonished by her progress. She comes home every day singing a new song she learned, and her backpack has her work and her artwork, along with daily report card to let me know her progress. She loves her school. If you are considering Scholars Academy, you should take a tour or attend an open house-this is a great school! read more

My daughter will be graduating to 1st grade in the next few weeks and she will continue her journey at Scholars academy. I want to pen the reason as to why we chose to Scholars for my daughter's 1st grade The kindergarten year at Scholars went by quick with loads of fun which my daughter and both the parent will cherish and remember. The Scholars pumpkin patch to Pajama party to egg hunting to Science fair to Debate has been a great mix of academics and fun. My daughter has enjoyed the process of participating in these events without getting stressed about the final outcome; The final outcome has exceeded parents expectation. The teachers here are experienced, dedicated, committed and passionate. I am equally impressed with the after school program specially the homework club at Scholars, which focuses on what has been learnt in school and reinforces my daughters learning.. Go scholars... read more

update - This is my 4th year as a Scholars' parent, my little one is in her final year of pre-school (or pre-K) & she absolutely loves going to school! I'm not surprised though, the teachers are great (special shout-out to Ms. Ruth!) the progress she has made in this school is attributed to all the wonderful teachers she has had in this school for the last couple of years! Thank you Scholars for making school & learning a fun experience :) Both of my daughters attended preschool at Scholars. My oldest attended for one year and had one of the best teachers any student (or parent) can ask for! Under this teacher's guidance, she blossomed into a kind, curious & smart girl. My younger daughter's first school year teacher at Scholars will probably be her favorite teacher for life! The staff at the school are amazing & very friendly. I would happily recommend this school! - Sridevi Govindaraja read more

My daughter currently goes to scholars academy for kindergarten and i felt this review had to be written even before the school year got over. I am amazed by the number of activities they have and keep the kids so engaged. The pumpkin patch, the fun fair, the debate competition , the science projects. All impeccably done and the kids have so much fun. My daughter looks forward to going to school everyday and enjoys her time at school. The importance given to academics is what got me drawn to the school but they had much more to offer. The weekly PE and music lessons & science activity days are so enjoyable for the kids. Ms. Mallika is such a great kindergarten teacher who makes learning basics of english and math so fun . We have a had a great experience with all the office staff and after care teachers like Ms Ali and Ms Tarika . The fact that my daughter does not want to miss a single day of school shows what great efforts the teachers put in to make it a fun learning place for the kids. Looking forward to upcoming years at scholars! read more

I have been sending my daughter to scholars for the past one year.It is a great school with caring teachers.The staff and teachers genuinely caring, providing a very nurturing and fun environment . It's been over one year now and it was absolutely a wonderful experience interacting with teachers and the directors. The directors were approachable. The best thing for me was to see my daughter performing so wonderfully along with other kids during the winter and spring programs. All in all, we love being a part of this wonderful school. read more

My daughter started going to scholars when she was 2.5. We are very impressed with the school , the teachers and their curriculum. The school maintains good balance between academics and extra curricular activities. The teachers are competent and are very patient with the kids. Their online classes are well planned and my daughter looks forward to it and loves meeting her teacher. Great experience so far and we are glad to be a part of scholars academy. read more

Our daughter has been attending Scholars academy since she was 3.5 years old. It took her few weeks to adjust to this new environment but with the help of her teachers this transition went smooth . All the teachers/directors are very passionate, caring and nurturing towards kids. They let you know if your kid is lagging behind in any area and work with you to overcome that gap. Best thing about this school is they don't push kids to do stuff. Instead they work with each kid as per that kids needs and aptitude. Each child is given individual attention which makes each of them feel special and welcomed . It's comforting to know that teachers really care for your kids and are willing to go extra mile to help them. Ms. Grace, our daughter's teacher, is fun, creative and full of energy. Our daughter loves her and talks so much about her. Ms. Ali & Ms. Ruth, the school directors, are just awesome. It's so amazing to see how all of the teachers/directors /staff at the school work together to care for the children. I love that everyone is so approachable and willing to answer any of my concerns / questions on the spot. We love Scholars Academy and couldn't be happier with our daughter's care and development there. The administration and teachers are smart, attentive and truly seem invested in our daughter and family . Highly recommend! read more

Our daughter has been enrolled with Scholar's Academy for past 2 years. We are extremely happy with the school. All the teachers are very caring & professional. We get to know daily progress on our daughter's overall development. The school ensures balance of academics, sports & developing of good manners & behavior. Most importantly our daughter is excited to be in the school with her friends. That makes us happy to drop her off at the school and be ensured of good care for her. read more

Its been over a year since our daughter started at Scholars Academy. The school and teachers are extremely hard working and they strive to provide a good balance between academics and extra curricular activities. Attention is given to making these kids as socially responsible individuals by educating them on current affairs, organizing visits from local firemen, etc. Our daughter continues to grow into a self confident child who can take care of herself (putting on shoes, clothes etc). They also focus a lot on building the early foundation for reading through phonics and teaching them math in a very fun way. Special attention is provided by staff to maintain a clean environment for the kids. As overworked parents, we are very glad to have made the right decision to put our daughter in this school. read more

My daughter has been attending Scholars Academy since past 5 months. It's a great school with wonderful and qualified teachers who are loving, nurturing, warm, kind, and compassionate. During our intro tour, what impressed us most was that we noticed all the teachers knew each kid in the school by their names and what that kid likes/dis-likes. Similarly, all the kids seemed happy and fond of all the teachers in school and not just their own class teacher. This itself showed us how loving and caring the staff was and we immediately signed up on the spot. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our kid. When my daughter initially joined, Ms. Stephanie & Ms. Ali did an excellent job to make her feel comfortable, safe and loved. They didn't force her to follow the class routine rather gave her free space and ample time to get adjusted. My daughter has made tremendous progress not only in academics but also had great social and emotional growth since joining this school. Each day she excitedly looks forward to meeting all her favorite teachers - Ms. Ali, Ms. Steph, Ms. Ruth, Ms. Kim, Ms. Ashitha, Ms. Nayak, Ms. Debie. Pretty big list :) I know We highly recommend Scholars Academy. They do an amazing job of handling each child according to that child's needs and personality. They provide environment to enrich their overall growth. If you are searching for school for your kid, just visit this great school and meet the staff, you won't be disappointed. read more

Our son is going to Scholars Academy for past 6 months or so and we totally love the school and all the teachers. We could not have asked for a better school for our boy. He loves going there and is excitingly looking forward to go to school everyday. The teachers are excellent and they pay personal attention to each kid. The curriculum is perfectly paced that keeps kids engaged without burdening them. We are glad to have found this amazing school. Highly recommended. read more

Would not recommend Scholar Academy preschool to any parent? Non stop complaints from teachers. I decided to stop sending my kid here. Well if they don't know how to take care of little kids then why the heck Open school. My kid is pretty good at taking nap, eating food and overall everything at home and outside with friends. If kid is not sleeping in school then figure out way to make them sleep, if kid is not eating food then figure out how to make them eat. I had nightmare experience with them, my kid wouldn't eat for 11 hours while at there school and eat food right after I pick him from school. It felt like they are least interested in spending time and training kid. First it's an expensive school then your service is horrible. They scold kids all the time. Who screams at 3 year old. It's an offense. They should change staff and keep young teachers if the old ones can't do the job. They are worst and teaching kids how to behave and then they give home work to a 3 year old. Worst preschool ever. I regret changing my kids old school and having him go thru this nightmare place experience. Also the staff is whole bunch of liars. I caught them liars many times. They believe in time out policy vs teaching/training lil kids. Why open preschool when you can't handle. I saw my kids tired, hungry and hurt every single day. So relieved we have changed the school. Never going back here and wouldn't recommend to parents who rely on school to do there job right and take care of kids. Lil kids are not safe, no happy and stressed here. read more

We are extremely pleased with the growth our child has shown over the last six months at Scholars. The range and variation of the curriculum keeps surprising us, and hearing our little one tell us about his activities reassures us about his day at school. The staff is great with the kids and we feel very comfortable leaving our child in their care for 8-10 hrs each day. read more

I recently made an appointment to go check this school out for my 3 year old daughter. When I arrived, I was kept waiting for 20 min. I noticed multiple other parents waiting around as well and it wasn't until we all was about to complain that someone from the school came and admitted they had over-booked their schedules. The woman in charge of the tours that day then shuttled us around the school, but was unable to answer anyone's questions....such as, how long the teachers had been working there...how many teachers and assistants in each class...she just didnt know the basic information about the school and that made it look extremely unorganized and unprofessional. The school itself is fairly old. Carpets, equipment and the playground could use a good makeover. We never got around to actually meeting the teachers or see them in action in the classroom. The whole place, including the admin. staff was a total mess! read more
