Now we have a brand new school with distance learning for my incoming 7th grader and it is very difficult. It is hard for my child to distance learn at EWMS. EWMS is now offering limited space for on campus virtual learning for kids who are "falling behind" or "at-risk". I believe if the private school across the street can get all of their kids back into school, EWMS should ALSO! I'm giving this 5 stars because I believe the staff is doing their best with the restrictions due to COVID 19. The campus is beautiful, it's an absolute shame kids cannot all be on campus together. The psychological and educational toll this is taking on kids is becoming worrisome.

St. James Academy is the best Catholic school, period. As a parent, there is no greater peace of…read moremind than knowing your kids are safe, being educated in the best way possible, and learning to love their faith. The principal, Mrs. Lang, is incredible. She is out there every day, greeting the students, and knows every child by name. The teachers from preschool through 8th grade are all exceptionally well trained, caring, and committed. I went to a Catholic school in San Diego myself, and I chose not to send my kids to the school I attended. The vibe at St. James and the presence of true Catholic values can be felt the moment you walk through the door. What sets this school apart is the sense of community. You are not just a number here. You are truly part of a family, and I mean that genuinely. We feel so lucky and grateful to be a part of such a loving and faith-filled environment.

Our kids have attended St. James Academy (SJA) for the past 2 years. SJA is not just a "school" it…read moremuch more than that. It is a caring and nurturing student-focused educational facility with a strong sense of community. It is our extended family! Everyone has been welcoming and inviting, the teacher/student ratio is low, so every child gets personal attention to help them thrive with individual needs. The teachers and other SJA families care deeply about the kids. SJA has helped our kids grow both spiritually, academically, emotionally, physically and socially. They really educate the whole child. We have loved the families we have met through SJA. Not only are our children obtaining a great education, but they are learning to be good people with great morals and values in a safe and loving environment. It is beautiful to see the older grades connecting with the younger ones. During lunch time they play together, and the older kids sit with the younger ones during Friday mass. The students even have "school families" where kids throughout all different grade levels come together monthly to do activities. It creates a strong relationship and friendship between all the children on campus - the older kids help teach the little ones. SJA has been the best investment in our children's future. We love it here and would highly recommend it to any family.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and with medication he went from needing a tutor to being a tutor at CSUSM. It's a disservice to students to not tell parents to get testing and talk to a school psychologist about problems like bullying in school which also occurred at Grauer and affected his performance. Lack of motivation is associated with ADHD and also the severe bullying that was occurring off campus when he was biking to school. A psychologist would have been able to deal with these issues.

Head Master and Founder of school Dr Stuart Grauer, is recognized nationally as sincere and thoughtful leader of the small school movement. Get his book her https://www.amazon.com/Fearless-Teaching-Collected-Stuart-Grauer/dp/0986016004 Dr. Grauer is a strong proponent of Socratic learning, and that philosophy is embraced by some, but not all faculty. Dr Grauer is a believer in experiential learning, and twice a year sends students on excellent national and international expeditions of learning and service! He also strongly believes in giving his students a stage to both preform on musically (amazing program, led by amazing instructors) , and one to pontificate on via a once a year special event for parents and grandparents put on by the Girl Rising club called Grauer Speaks. In past years it has been a night of student, and sometimes faculty monologues exploring a wide variety of social problems; from from LBGTQ issues, to women's rights, and the "Rape Culture in America" to name a few that I witnessed. It is often an intense night of student involvement and activism. My daughter excelled while at Grauer, and is now attending a prestigious women's College in western Massachusetts and thriving in the liberal arts program. Bottom line, Grauer School has an excellent college preparatory program , led by a thoughtful and principled leader. Grauer School embraces the gamut of todays enlightened curriculum. Highly recommend!

Wow, what a great experience at Fusion - although it's expensive, the one-on-one teaching is priceless. It helped get my niece through her mental block with Chemistry and Algebra II. Taking two year-long classes condensed into one summer was a lot of hard work, but resulted in 1 B+ and 3 As, boosting her GPA significantly - and really upping her confidence. The teachers' communication is great - after each session they send you an email outlining what they did, how the student is doing, and what's next. It really helped us stay on top of my niece's progress and provided immediate accountability. Special thanks to the teachers, Erin and Caitlin, for providing fun, enthusiastic teaching, showing my niece that girls can tackle these subjects and really excel!
