Some highlights: --Quiet area for the ultra studious (a quiet no talking section on the back complete with individual cubbies in the very back of that section if you want to take it to the next evel) --four chairs in the front that are super lcomfortable and come with portable desks --really comfortable chairs throughout the library- not your typical sterile hard chairs --allows food and drink (that's a pro mostly but some could see it as a con if there's something particularly odiferous ;) --really good bright lighting --not filled with undergrads (no offense to undergrads at all, it's just that it's a bit more of a serious/older group that tends to be a little more quiet and purposeful, in general) --open to the public not just UCLA students The only major con is that the bathroom is old and outdated!

Inside the Spectrum Program: What They Don't Want You to Know…read more To the parents of New Roads School, I'm writing this because no one else will. Not the smiling admissions staff. Not the polished emails. Not the teachers who know something's wrong but look the other way. This isn't easy to say--but it needs to be said. Because what's happening in the Spectrum program is not care. It's not support. It's quiet, systematic harm dressed up as help. And it broke me in ways I'm still trying to undo. In middle school, I was diagnosed with autism. When I got into New Roads, I was placed in Spectrum. My family was told it was a safe space--a nurturing environment tailored for students like me. I believed them. I wanted to believe them. But not long after I started, I was re-evaluated. Turns out, I wasn't autistic after all. But that didn't matter. By then, I was already locked in--trapped under Elisa Schultz's watch. Once you're in, Spectrum doesn't let go. You don't "exit" the program--you disappear into it. It wraps itself around your life and convinces you that you need it, even when all it's doing is making you smaller. At first, I tried to play along. I was named grade-level ambassador. I met with new families. I made speeches. I wanted to believe I was helping build something good. But eventually, I did what Elisa can't stand--I told the truth. I started asking questions. I stood up for students who felt powerless. I spoke too loudly, too clearly. So they got rid of me. I was replaced quietly, like I'd become an inconvenience. But the worst moment came later--when a classmate I cared about came to me in tears. Elisa had called her a disgusting, sexist name--something that would get anyone else fired. We made the decision to speak out. And the moment we started talking, five staff members closed in on us. Not figuratively. They surrounded us. Physically. Like security guards. They told her it never happened. Over and over, until her hands were shaking and she started questioning her own memory. I stood there watching someone I admired unravel in real time. And I knew: this wasn't a "program." This was something darker. During COVID, I had a bad allergy flare-up. I stepped out of class to blow my nose in the hallway because I didn't want to disturb anyone. The Tesla classroom was right next to the bathroom. I wasn't sneaking off. I wasn't doing anything wrong. Elisa exploded. She screamed at me in front of everyone. Berated me for not blowing my nose in front of the class. As if I had broken some sacred, unspoken rule. I was embarrassed. I was sick. I was trying to handle my body and my space with some dignity--and she crushed that in one moment. No kindness. No understanding. Just public shame. What kind of "support program" does that? Spectrum charges over $13,000 a year on top of tuition. That money doesn't go toward student wellbeing. It goes toward building a system that punishes independence and feeds on fear. They don't care if you were misdiagnosed. They don't care if it's hurting you. They care about keeping your family's money. And your silence. There are others like me. I've spoken to six students--at least--who had stories like mine. Some gave me permission to speak. Most are too scared. That should tell you everything. Parents, you're being sold a lie. And it's packaged beautifully--with buzzwords, learning plans, and emotional jargon. But behind the curtain is something toxic. Something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Ask the questions they don't want you to ask. And when they try to talk around it, listen to what they're avoiding. This program nearly broke me. I'm writing this because I refuse to let it keep breaking people in silence. - A former Spectrum student who refuses to stay quiet

Mariko saw my son for about twenty minutes and she gave me more and better feedback than I've ever received about him. She also convinced me that their methodology is working. My son is in Kindergarten and when he joined Kumon he couldn't read. I know that this is ok for a kindergartener but he's the oldest kid in the class and I noticed that some of the younger kids were ahead. I sat down with him many times with a book I found online but it didn't seem to work for him. I felt I didn't know what I was doing and he was really not engaged. I gave up. Now, four months after enrolling him at Kumon my son is an advanced reader. He has further developed his self confidence and even more importantly, he is now used to working every single day. This work ethic is IMO very important for his future and it's worth building it early on. Following his success with reading, we signed him up for Math. In my experience, success with Kumon takes some commitment but they provide all the tools and support to make it work. I believe it's worth the money and the effort.

Upon realizing that it was…read moretime for me to change career trajectories in the Fall of 2018, I began doing research for personal training schools in Los Angeles, and NPTI resulted as a highly recommended center for learning. After checking out a few other establishments that offered CPT courses, I chose to enroll at NPTI. This decision was facilitated when I met the director of admissions, Katie Mandell who was warm, friendly, and informative about what the courses entailed and their affiliation with the NASM programs. Although I was a novice in the field of fitness training, the instructor Christian Cianfrani and other more advanced students were excellent guides throughout the entire six months at NPTI. My level of knowledge pertaining anatomy, and the science behind exercise developed tremendously in a short span of time. In addition to the in class lectures, the students receive hands on training (with free membership) at the local fitness facilities near the school, and learn how to properly utilize the the varied equipment you may find at most gyms. In the interest of furthering my knowledge base as a well rounded health and wellness guide, I continued my education at NPTI for their Weight Loss and Nutrition Specialist course. With the help of Kenny, another amazing instructor, I was able to obtain a certification for this interesting and informative course. If you are serious about delving into the world of fitness and would like to help others as a wellness practitioner, this school offers exceptional programs that will build a strong foundation for your career in the field.

Cons: The program is a year long but you are only compensated for 6 months of that time if you are…read moreonly doing sat classes. Keep that in mind when making a decision if you're a veteran. Also the absence system I personally think is flawed, if you're ten minutes late it's still considered an absence even if you are there the entire class which is 6 hours give or take on sat if you're only doing one day. That is absolutely ridiculous! Even if you have a legitimate excuse, doctor note etc it's still considered an absence. Make sure you are completely aware of how the absence and compensation factor works if you're a veteran. Make sure you have it in writing as well. Pros: Great info, regardless of what you think about the staff it's good info. Christian is a good teacher with a lot of good info, and is actively involved with the class from an intellectual and physical standpoint and that is rare to find. Just keep in mind the goal and let the other little things fall to the side.
