GREAT SCHOOL. This school is very, very well funded by the district. As a student from this school,…read moreI believe that the elective classes they offer are AMAZING. I started to peruse my dream of a Photographer/Videographer at one of the classes offered. All core classes are very well organized and equipped with GREAT teachers, in most cases. Talking about teachers, not ALL of them are the best. I went through some teachers, not pointing names out, who were just... so bad that they deserve to get fired. There were 2 of them. That is a pretty low amount! One of them got fired this year, so there is only one more to go. That one teacher who is still left has a very low temper. He WILL curse out students outside. Looking at the bright side, this school's staff is mostly all nice. Counselors are great, principals are VERY understanding. I recently got in a little trouble for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I will not go too deep into it, but I ended up getting suspended for a stupid reason. But now that I look back to it, I think he did the right choice. The lunch area is pretty convenient. Tabled are offered to every student, a snack bar is available, and they serve not the best lunches, but they are still acceptable. The lower fields are all available to students during break. Sports equipment is leased to students. Overall, I think this is the best choice of Intermediate school in Palos Verdes over Miralest and PVIS.

Blessed to Have Found This School Family!…read more Although we've only been at the school since November, it feels like we've found a second home. Transitioning from Peninsula Montessori can be a big change for a little one, but the staff--especially my daughter's phenomenal PreK teacher, Mrs. Patti--made it seamless and positive. What stands out is the school's genuine dedication to each student and family. Their mission to foster a love of learning and compassion for others, centered in faith, is evident everywhere. Academically, we have seen our daughter thrive and progress by leaps and bounds in this nurturing environment. The leadership is inspiring; it's an all-woman admin team, and the principal makes a point to connect personally, looking every child in the eye during morning greetings. We are profoundly grateful and blessed to have found a community we trust wholeheartedly with our child.

St. John Fisher School is an amazing community school! We came to this lovely K-8 school two years…read moreago and could not be happier. First, we were impressed by the responsiveness of the staff and the clear focus on academics. While we moved to Palos Verdes for the schools, of which I am an alum, we have been so much happier at SJF. We found that the teachers are truly devoted to their students, and they pay attention to whole child development. Teachers go above and beyond responding to parents' concerns. Not only does the school foster intellectual development, but they also have community service requirements as well as service to each other and various athletic programs. And check out those drama productions - they are entertaining even if you do not have a child participating! Both of my daughters have been at their happiest at SJF. They both have smaller classes where everyone is a friend. I love coming to volunteer and seeing all of the grades interacting, and all students helping each other out. My oldest has even developed such an affinity for Mass that she goes during the week in the summer. It is a special place.

The faculty are unparalleled and the facilities, supported by a loyal alumni network, are the envy of local schools, private and public alike.

Prefer let your suicidal kid alone than refunding your deposit…read more We were interested to this pre school and signed up for a parents kid summer program where the parents comment with their less than 18 months Kid one morning per week . We were push to quickly sign up because places were limited. We signed up online . And had to accepts lot of T&c to pay. So we paid $500 in May and sing up for July program. In the meantime One of the teenager we care for intended suicide . We contacted the pre school and told them we have a family situation we can no longer attend the summer program for our 16 months kids because we would stay home and take care of the teenagers and the baby and didn't want to let a suicidal teenager alone. We told them so in June , 10 days before that parent kid program even started. ( please note it's a parent kid program so they are not even a ratio per teacher or so ) . Supposedly somewhere in there T&C was written that was a non refundable program. We have not seen a like about that. We called our credit card out a stop on the charge but this preschool still went ahead and validate the charge. We also paid a $250 for Waite list to have a space in September that they cancelled. And refund $200 of it. We paid a total of $750 to these people for our toddler to never get in. Be aware when signing up for a toddler parents summer program they will push to buy quickly and asap and then your money is gone and not refundable . I understand they was some transaction and admin work but a descend business could have at least give a partial refund of the summer parent kid progress. They clearly don't care about you your family or kid and just want the $. Congratulations chalk preschool on making $550 on the back of a kid you will never seen.
