Chaminade College Preparatory Reviews

243 reviews

I loved chaminade, and while the school itself has many problems, I can proudly say it is where I found my second family. My main problems with the school are that it underfunds certain program, and overemphasizes other (sometimes less successful) teams/organizations. It also seems as though certain changes that can be made are left untouched, where heaps of money are poured into areas that seem less pressing. I have had some unsettling conversations with teachers (nothing too serious), but that is the extreme minority. most of my teachers have been wonderful, and I have received an amazing education. It is, however, highly competitive, so that should be taken into account. At the end of the day, I do recommend Chaminade to high school students who can afford it, especially for the robotics program.

Review Chaminade College Preparatory

Chaminade College Preparatory is an amazing school that provides its students with both a quality education and a supportive family like environment. When it comes to academics, the school provides its students with loads of different types of courses to participate in, with helpful and personable teachers. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure students understand the material and are helped through obstacles. Another thing that stands out is the immense family spirit. Student culture and activities allows for a community like feel where all chaminade students have school pride and are connected to one another through the school they attend. Personally, I feel as though Chaminade allowed me to grow as a person in both my education and mindset in the 4 years I attended. I love Chaminade and hope to send my kids there one day.

What I like about Chaminade is the academics. They really push their students to be their best and achieve the greatest. As a senior, the college process was really stressful but the counseling services are really good. I got a lot of help from my counselor when it came to colleges and they even gave a boot camp on how to apply to the UC apps and the Common App (though you had to pay for it [bootcamp], it was well worth it for me). The teachers and staff are quite nice. The cafeteria food is good quality for high school. The community is pretty welcoming. Overall my time here was great.
