Overall it has been a wonderful experience!

College classes and library, in one building. This is a…read moresatellite campus for Palomar College. There is parking in front of the building and a parking garage. I took science classes here for a year. I like that it is a small campus. I would sometimes study down stairs be the vending machines. There are sofas and charging stations all around the building. Pros - There is only one building. Makes it easier to find your class - library on the 4th floor. - less students, less noise. -awesome view from the 4th floor library. - a walking trail behind the building ( because they do not have a gym) Cons - no cafeteria. They have vending machines - Closed on the weekend, which means you cannot use their library on the weekends. I always thought of community college, as college at trade school prices. If are a practical person and are only going to college for a professional degree (and have no interest in "student life") community college is the way to go.

I moved back to Rancho Bernardo after some years in NorCal and I have been re-discovering the area this past year. It was been amazing because some places are exactly the same and I got several new surprises to explore, like the Palomar College RB edition. I was leaving the dentist and while making some time until I could go and get a coffee started driving around and saw a big building in top of a hill and went there. There were not many cars in the parking lot so not sure if students are virtual or they go in buses (I so like a school type of bus circulating around). Everything looked very modern and the surrounding so pretty, with plenty of trees (the a plate telling the names) and very peaceful. The best for me were those views. Very mesmerizing during a cloudy day, I need to go during a sunny one and compare. Very cool spot to observe this wonderful land.

He was going to go to San Diego High, but it felt big and impersonal. My son is smart and i felt like he was going to just cruise by without any challenge or any accolades. We toured SET and my son was so excited. I love that each class is small. I love McCurdy, Ms Heath and all the other teachers. Ms. Geis is such a rad human! My Daughter is the opposite of my son.... She is into dance and theatre, but after seeing how awesome SET was, we enrolled my daughter too. Love the school and staff dearly!

Is your child a nontraditional learner and are you looking for a charter school that doesn't expect…read morestudents to learn the same way as everyone else? If so, I highly suggest you check out SET High (formerly Coleman Tech Charter School). Our son graduated from SET High last year and now our daughter is attending and we couldn't be happier. She is only in 9th grade and already taking on leadership roles. The teachers exceed my expectations. They know each student by name, have great relationships with them. My son's former teachers are always happy to see him when he goes to visit, which is often. He even gave graduation presents TO some of his teachers before he left. The students are geeky, wacky, nerdy, different, intelligent, unique, confident, and wonderful! My daughter said that she didn't want to go to any other school because she is with "her people" and she is right. Dr. McCurdy said in last year's commencement speech, "If you aren't failing, you aren't learning." What a great place to make mistakes, learn from them, and make improvements. I'm so excited for the students attending SET High because they are learning real-world skills at such an early age in a supportive, caring, and fun environment. You won't find a better school for your student!

There were two people from the League there, Jed and a student and they walked around and helped kids individually. I was interested in their program, so I approached Jed after class to ask some questions about their classes. I was in the midst of asking a question when he just said "We're not here to sell the program" and walked away from me, then intentionally ignored me while I was standing right in front of him. That didn't make the best impression, but I am glad they are offering these free classes.

The staff and instructors actually care about their students so if you feel lost they are always there to help you out. The Engineering Technician course took about 4 months to complete. It really is an accelerated type of course that teaches you the basic fundamentals of being an engineering technician taking you through so many lessons such as mechanics, electrical, automation, pneumatics, troubleshooting, blueprint reading, just to name a few. They really take you through so many subjects and it is up to you to figure out which subject you want to focus on. When you find out you let your staff and instructors know... they will lead you in the right direction I guarantee it. With this certification you can literally go to any industry and any related position to the course. It really is up to you whether you want to be an engineering technician developing medical devices or an electro-mechanical technician ensuring a production line is running... the possibilities are endless! Anyways, the Engineering Technician program is meant to give you a hell of a jumpstart in your career and I really am thankful for who I have met and worked with along the way whether they be students, staff, or instructors. I still take classes here and there ever since 2019 because that is just how good this trade school is. TCI FOREVER

The college provides hands on training and job placement which is excellent for people looking for opportunities when they come up by being prepared for the job market.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this option for people seeking to enter the engineering workforce or for someone looking to learn something new.

Palomar College Cabinet and Furniture Technology is one of the top woodworking schools in the…read morecountry. They offer classes and degrees for everything from wood carving and wood turning to cabinet and furniture making. They also have one of the best Guitar Making Technology certificate programs consisting of 9 classes and 26 units. The facilities and instructors are amazing. I love that each class is project-based, so you end each semester with an heirloom quality piece of woodwork. Palomar College CFT has their own lumber mill, and they partner with the city to turn tree waste into unique and usable lumber. That makes it the only place in the world where you can get specialty woods like Torrey Pine, and it's only available to students in the woodworking classes. The CFT100-Woodworking Fundamentals class is the pre-requisite for most of the other classes. Students usually build a pendulum or mantel clock for that class while learning woodworking basics along the way. I took CFT100 as a beginner and learned a ton, but even seasoned woodworkers have said that class is worth taking and learning the "right" way to do things. I can't say enough good things about the people running this program, from the instructors and teaching assistants to the fellow students, they are a joy to work with and learn from.

My daughter began on camera acting classes with BBAS 2 years ago, and I finally decided to write a…read morereview. Clearly we both love them, they work! My little one began modeling 3 years ago, and looking back now, I wish I started her classes at this point, as BBAS gives the skill to audition for modeling, and it turns out there is a lot of acting within modeling. Two years ago my child set a goal with her theatrical agent, LATalent, as she wanted to expand her performing to the moving screen. At that time her agent directed us to Brooke Byler's on camera acting classes. Previously my child had stage experience through ballet and musical theatre, but on camera in LA is a whole different ball game. We began using their online classes for both acting and improv. Right away I saw her improvement in the audition room, and within the first month with classes she booked her first commercial! What I didn't expect was the changes in other areas of her life. She gained confidence socializing with friends. Empathy, understanding different people, backgrounds, and values. And her stage presence in ballet and musical theatre improved immensely. She soon qualified for the advanced classes, and after a year on zoom we moved to the in person classes. At this point we've worked with every coach, at every location, and you can't go wrong. They teach scene study, memorization, improv, warm ups, and audition technique in a fun, encouraging environment giving my actor the confidence of knowing what to expect at auditions and on set, and instilling a growing love for acting. She chose to challenge herself with a summer of privates biweekly, and her skills soared. She learned how to show genuine feelings, and how to hide her obvious joy when she was enjoying what she was doing (acting mad, but feeling happy, she'd be smiling sunshine while saying angry lines). She learned to cry on cue. Her range could be Disney, could be drama. For our first year auditioning theatrically, we called on BBAS to coach or film every time. BUT then this crazy thing happened: my child was able to film her own auditions!! And really well!! She gained confidence in her choices. She knows how to warm herself up. She can film the whole thing herself. But she still chooses, for some auditions, to call in her coaches. She's now 10, has been on sets with acting and directing LEGENDS, and her entire acting schooling is thanks to Brooke Byler Acting Studio. Even though she's been successful, continuing to train keeps her competitive and she leaves every class like her first: bubbling over with joyous energy.
