I have always had vision and ability however, Andrea as a teacher brings out what I already know and harps on basic principles I need to have with every approach that i have been missing. From rules of thumb to color concepts and using principles when I get stuck. Class is amazing, I couldn't ask for a better atmosphere to be in and I almost can get emotional about how freeing it is to be surrounded by all levels of painters. There is always music playing, discussions with students individually with Andrea and individual lessons can turn into all of us around Andrea discussing a technique with a student. Being in Normal Heights is a great central location and the openness of the class means bystanders can walk in and be amazed at all the work we are doing. It makes you feel privileged to be there working alongside him. One of my favorite things about the class is Andrea is usually sketching during the day, painting, or reworking something of his before we get there and if we are all independently working he will revisit it. It's great to see an instructor applying his love while enhancing our own abilities. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my money and time towards this passion.

My husband and I are in the military and enrolled our three daughters in Saint Paul's Lutheran…read moreschool after attending the local public school. We desired a small focused experience with dedicated teachers and faith base curriculum. What we got far exceeded our expectations, the teachers are so caring, creative, and focused on our child's individual needs. Each of my daughters is thriving in her class and is known by all teachers and staff. The academics are rigorous, but the teachers presented them in a way that keeps the kids engaged. They come home knowing far more than I would have ever hoped for, both in traditional academics and in faith curriculum. The school is not afraid of new technology and leverages AI and group learning approaches that would not be possible in a larger school. My children have been benefited greatly from this approach. One of the most important aspects for me is that the school does not tolerate isolating or bullying behavior. My fourth grader was distracted in her public school experience by 'mean girls' but at St Paul's, she is friends with each girl in her class and has often commented on how grateful she is to have no cliques or strife. This is so rare and is a testament to the hard work of the teachers and staff. Being members of the St. Paul's school community has increased my husband's and my faith as well. On a hard days, the staff has taken time to walk with us or pray. On great days they celebrate with us. We feel like we belong here as well, not just our children. Highly recommended on every front.

As an educator and public school administrator, I have high expectations for what meaningful,…read morehigh-quality learning should look like and I am truly impressed by what I see in the Preschool classes at St. Paul's Lutheran. Even at just three years old, my child is being exposed to a level of intentional instruction and thoughtful rigor that is exceptional. Having daily insight into TK through eighth-grade public school classrooms, I can confidently say that the program at St. Paul's stands out for its depth, purpose, and impact. What makes St. Paul's especially remarkable is its ability to balance strong academics with rich, play-based learning experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and independence. Just as importantly, the faith-based foundation woven throughout the day is something truly special. My child is not only growing academically, but also developing character, compassion, and a sense of belonging. The combination of these elements creates an environment that is truly second to none.

I take no pleasure in writing this review because this school was once something truly special. For…read moremany years, San Diego Jewish Academy had a strong sense of community, excellent teachers, and leadership that seemed focused on what was best for students. Unfortunately, that no longer appears to be the case. Over the past few years, a series of decisions by the school's leadership has fundamentally changed the culture of the school, and not for the better. Families who have been part of the community for years are choosing to leave, and it is not difficult to understand why. When long-standing members of a school community begin walking away, it should be a signal that something is seriously wrong. The most disappointing part is that the decline feels avoidable. Rather than building on the strengths that made the school successful, management seems to be making decisions that have weakened trust, damaged morale, and eroded the sense of community that once defined the school. This review is not written out of bitterness but out of genuine disappointment. Many of us wanted this school to succeed because we believed in its mission. It is painful to watch an institution with so much potential lose the confidence of the very families who helped make it successful. I sincerely hope the Board and school leadership take an honest look at the growing number of departing families and ask why this is happening. The school still has talented teachers and tremendous potential, but without meaningful changes in leadership and decision-making, I worry that the downward trend will continue.

My experience in John and Jane's Herbalism 101 class was more than just disappointing--it was…read moreemotionally taxing, unprofessional, and, at times, outright disturbing. What should have been a sacred and respectful space for learning, healing, and growth quickly revealed itself to be dominated by ego, control, and a stunning lack of self-awareness. From day one, it was evident that this class was not rooted in integrity. John consistently made sexually suggestive jokes--habitual, inappropriate comments that disrupted the safety and sanctity of the learning environment. This wasn't a one-off misstep; it was a pattern of behavior that created discomfort and betrayed the seriousness of the subject matter. No one teaching herbalism--or any subject--should normalize that type of energy in a space intended for healing. Jane, on the other hand, carried an air of superiority that made it clear she was less interested in teaching and more interested in control. She mocked former students in front of the class, dismissing them for not "doing anything" with the knowledge they gained. That level of arrogance and public belittlement creates shame, not growth--and it contradicts everything a true teacher should stand for. When students sought clarity, John frequently dodged or deflected questions. Instead of thoughtful guidance, we were met with vague responses or outright dismissal. And Jane didn't stop at shaming past students--she went as far as making a degrading, classist remark about my partner, implying she was "probably poor" for being a caregiver. That wasn't just rude--it was prejudiced, judgmental, and deeply uncalled for. When my partner chose to leave the class and shared her experience publicly, I posted my review as well--because she stayed in the class longer and I wanted to speak for myself. Instead of accepting honest feedback, they responded by deleting my partner's review and labeling it "bullying." So let me make this crystal clear. Yes, I support my partner. But this review isn't about her--it's about my direct experience. And what I witnessed firsthand was bullying. What I felt was hostility cloaked in faux-spiritual rhetoric. What I endured was a space where power dynamics were abused and where criticism was met with retaliation, not reflection. You don't foster learning--you suppress it. You don't encourage growth--you stifle it. You don't lead with humility--you lead with ego and fragility. John's behavior wasn't "humor"--it was inappropriate and unprofessional. Jane's approach wasn't "tough love"--it was condescension masked as guidance. And your response to feedback wasn't "integrity"--it was image protection at the expense of truth. What you market as "honesty" is, in truth, spiritual bypassing. What you teach is overshadowed by the way you treat people. You shut down criticism, delete valid reviews, and paint yourselves as victims whenever you're asked to be accountable. And for the record lets keep it real. Gaslighting is erasing someone's experience and calling it an attack. Bullying is mocking students, demeaning their choices, and disguising superiority as mentorship. And ego is what drives you to silence anyone who doesn't flatter you. This review isn't meant to tear you down--it's meant to hold a mirror up. Because if you truly cared about herbalism and the healing path, you'd reflect on how far you've drifted from the values you preach. This isn't bitterness. It's boundaries. It's not hate--it's honesty. And it's long overdue.
