Al hamdulilah for Al huda Islamic school…read more I am concerned that Arabic is not being taught verbally or spoken to the children at my son's school, even though they are fluent in Arabic. It is important to teach our children our Islamic faith and encourage them to speak Arabic, regardless of race or ethnicity. Speaking English to them only enables them to continue to speak English, which could lead to them being unable to read the Quran or Arabic as they get older. We need to devote more time to specifically speaking Arabic and not giving in to the English language. Children are young and can learn any language if it is enforced as the primary language.

Be as this is a special community-based private school emphasizing in a English curriculum mixed with Arabic studies. They do a great job teaching this with Islamic Studies. The teachers have been very communicative and caring to our children. Administration starting from the School Board to the Principal and Office Manager have always been very clear and attentive to the students needs and address any issues with swift and precise responses. The grounds still need a bit of a touch up here and there visually but what school doesn't. Happy to be here and so are my girls. Plan to stay until 8th Grade or maybe High school levels if they add on in the future. Who knows. InshaAllah

I have been part of the Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School community since August 2005. Now, 21 years…read morelater, as we prepare to finish our journey with the Class of 2026, it's hard to put into words what this school has meant to our family. SJDL has truly been more than just a school to us; it has been home. The most beautiful part of our experience has been the journey in faith. Watching my children grow not only academically but spiritually has been such a gift. Faith isn't just taught here; it's lived every day. Over the years, we have met incredible families and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Our children have formed strong bonds with classmates, and those friendships have grown year after year. There is something very special about being part of a community where everyone genuinely cares about one another. One of the things I have always appreciated is the small class sizes, usually around 15 to 18 students. It allows teachers to truly know each child, not just their name, but their personality, strengths, and areas where they may need extra support. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every student feels seen, supported, and safe. Knowing that safety is always a top priority gives parents incredible peace of mind. I've also seen the school grow and evolve over the years, offering opportunities in sports, theater, and other activities that allow students to explore their talents and build confidence. After 21 years, I can honestly say choosing Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac was one of the best decisions our family ever made. We are forever grateful for the love, faith, education, and community that SJDL has given us.

Highly recommend! We toured almost all of the Christian private schools in OC and could not be…read morehappier with our decision to choose Calvary Christian School of Santa Ana. Calvary is deeply rooted in Christian values, and you truly see those values lived out daily through the way teachers care for students and how the community supports one another. One of the things we love most is the strong sense of community. Families are welcoming, and there are many opportunities for parent involvement, which makes you feel connected to your child's education. We strongly believe parent involvement plays a huge role in shaping our children's future. The school also offers many field trips and hands-on learning experiences that keep students excited and engaged. The teachers are experienced, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's growth--academically, spiritually, and socially. With over 50 years of history, the school has a strong foundation and clear mission. We also appreciate the diverse student body and the emphasis on mission opportunities. Academically, we love the focus on spelling bees, speech meets, and foreign language instruction starting in first grade. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

I appreciate your response, but I want to be very clear: no one from Calvary has ever reached out…read moreto me directly to discuss my experience. There was no follow-up, no attempt at reconciliation, and no effort to understand what I personally witnessed. What I shared was not based on "emotion" or misunderstanding. It was based on what I saw with my own eyes. I witnessed Mrs. Morgan yank a first grader by the back of his hoodie and yell at him to sit down. I witnessed her grab another student by the arm and push him to the ground during a class field trip. I witnessed her publicly embarrass a student in front of his peers, telling him he doesn't listen. These were not secondhand accounts. These were direct observations. Additionally, when I brought a serious concern to administration regarding a student telling my son she "didn't like Black people," the issue was minimized rather than meaningfully addressed. That was deeply concerning. You may state that investigations were conducted and documentation exists, but my experience as a parent was that my concerns were not handled with transparency, accountability, or care. Instead of focusing on defending reputations, I would hope the school would focus on reflection and correction. You consistently teach Christ-like love and character. My experience did not reflect those values in practice. This was my lived experience. Dismissing it as a difference in "perspective" does not change what I saw or how it was handled. I stand by my review. My phone number nor my email has changed.

My brother started at SCA in its Early Childhood Program, and now he's entering third grade…read more Watching him grow into the young man he is becoming has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I'm incredibly proud of him, and I often catch myself admiring qualities in him that remind me I still have things to learn myself. I truly believe so much of that is because of St. Catherine's. To him, it isn't just a school; it's an extension of our family. Knowing he has such a strong support system there gives me confidence that he'll continue to thrive and go far in life. One thing people often misunderstand is the military program. It's not there to reform boys; it's there to teach discipline, structure, sacrifice, accountability, and the value of strong camaraderie. Those are lessons that shape character for a lifetime. SCA has helped mold my brother into someone I genuinely look up to, despite being more than 20 years older than him. You can't put a price on that. He is kind, levelheaded, stoic, devoted, respectful to everyone he meets, and carries himself with a maturity far beyond his years. Those qualities are a reflection of the values that St. Catherine's has helped instill in him, and for that, I will always be grateful.

The dedicated teachers and staff set high academic expectations while helping students develop strong character, leadership skills, discipline, and respect for others. The military-style program encourages responsibility, confidence, and teamwork, while the Catholic values taught each day help students grow spiritually and morally. As a parent, I feel confident knowing my son is receiving a well-rounded education that prepares him for future success both in and out of the classroom. I highly recommend this school to families seeking a nurturing, disciplined, and academically excellent environment for their son.

No classroom has Air Conditioning making the hot days intolerable for kids wearing their thick uniforms. Lunch meals are junk and major ripoff. The curriculum at this school is inferior to public schools'. They put too much time in religious ceremonials at the church and fund raising events instead of teaching reading and math. I understand many parents want their kids to learn about Catholicism but this is just cheating their kids of learning time. There is no accountability on students' competency levels because they don't have to report to anyone. Any public elementary school in the area would be better than this catholic school. Save yourself time and money and avoid this school.
