Parent: My three boys have all attended UCA since Kindergarten. My oldest is entering high school next year. UCA has been part of my family and we love all of it. Like all of us, it’s not perfect. Like every place, there is opportunity for growth. But it is by far the best place to have my kids develop their mind, spirit and heart in these formative years. My boys are great kids and I know UCA is a big reason why that’s the case. If you’re like me, imperfect with imperfect kids, UCA will accept you and love on you because we all are growing and learning. I wouldn’t want to have my kids anywhere else. We thank God for UCA!...

Senior: I really loved going to Ontario Christian because the school focuses more on a student as a whole, rather than just academics. Ontario Christian encourages their students to pursue their different interests by having flexible coaches, teachers, and staff. The faculty supports multi-sport and activities students by letting students take tests earlier and providing homework early in case students are going to be absence due to sports or other activities. Ontario Christian was a great place for me, especially, because I have many different interests and at a smaller school, I could be involved in multiple activities at one time. I really enjoyed my time there because I felt truly encouraged to pursue all my interests from Yearbook to Tennis (a sport I’ve never played before)!... Read 155 reviews

Sophomore: Of course no school is perfect regarding its members, but Aquinas is decently populated with good people and it’s a small enough school for one to form a family at school. The people are easy to get along with and academically the school rocks because of its variety of courses and college planning. While there could be more “fresher” or healthier food options, you can get a decent meal for a fair price and size and the food is pretty good compared to other schools I’ve been to. There’s also enough variety for you to eat different things every day of the week for one week. There’s a good bathroom to campus ratio and the school is overall clean with a few minor things to fix in one of the bathrooms. The rooms are well air conditioned and the greenery is very pretty. You can form your own community of teachers and students so that if a person of either category is making someone uncomfortable, it doesn’t go unspoken, albeit the school can take better actions towards it. Great counselors!... Read 138 reviews

Senior: Whenever I think about how I go to HCS, I can’t imagine going to another school. Every year here, 5th to 12th grade has been amazing. I feel prepared for a four year, to go into the adult world, and to stand up for my faith. The staff here truly cares about you doing the best you can. They are solid believers and love each individual student. Academics could be better. Our english is incredibly strong. Our sciences are great. Foreign language and math could be stronger. I have taken four different AP classes at this school and I’ve enjoyed all of them. I’ve played each of the girls sports for varsity; volleyball, basketball, and softball. We aren’t known for dominating and winning championships, but like the teachers, the coaches truly care about your physical and spiritual growth. There aren’t endless clubs, but there are great opportunities for extracurriculars on campus. What I love most about HCS is the family you are brought into and the relationships you develop....

Senior: Redlands Adventist Academy is a wonderful small school in SoCal. It small size creates a few issues and many opportunities. The problem with RAA is that everyone knows everyone so drama is bound to happen. However, this happens at every school and RAA is most definitely not the worst. The school presents a vast variety of leadership, athletic, musical, and artistic activities. The advantage of being a small school is that almost everyone can be involved in what they want to be involved in. RAA is very accepting of those with physical or psychological disabilities. The faculty are involved, compassionate, and God-serving. Overall, I would highly recommend Redlands Adventist Academy.... Read 61 reviews

Senior: Arrowhead Christian has been the best possible decision for my education and social life. The small-school atmosphere was exactly what I needed to get a more focused and planned high school education. The faculty and teaching staff are amazing and don’t only care about their students education but they truly care about their students personally.... Read 82 reviews

Middle School Student: I personally have had an amazing time here. There are a few areas where I believe could use some work, examples may include: teachers being able to make more of an effort to connect with the students and for the teachers trying to see more of what the student has going on in their lives outside of school. The school is amazing from the campus to the students it quite lovely. From what I went through, transferring there in 6th grade, I felt accepted into this new environment and quickly found my group of friends. I believe that the teacher do everything they can to make sure you are prepared for upcoming events, tests, and other things that lie in the future. This school has also given all students the choice of different activities to do outside of school, such as music: choir & band, and a wide spread of electives for students to choose from like: Spanish, art, boys choir, girls choir, band, and desktop publishing. They have a good amount of sports teams to be apart of as well.... Read 134 reviews

Senior: Some people complain about their high school experience, but I can authentically say that my time at Western Christian PSP Schools was absolutely incredible. Not only are all of the teachers proficient in what they teach, but their classes are engaging and they're genuinely concerned for their students. The faculty, students, and parents alike are considerate and friendly, and I felt extremely safe on campus. The ASB program, which I was heavily involved in, made a large effort to reach out to students, creating truly enjoyable events for everyone to participate in. It made our school much more inclusive. I have no complaints about Western Christian, and after graduation, I feel prepared to face the future. I would highly recommend this high school to anyone!... Read 138 reviews

Parent: It’s so wonderful for my daughter to be in a school were bullying truly is not tolerated and not the norm. Where everyone there treats each other with kindness and respect instead of her being the outcast because she’s not messing around in class and is actually nice to people. I cannot recommend the school any higher. Whether you are wondering if the education is worth paying for private school, or you are wondering if the bullying is the same everywhere you go, or whatever your reason is for still trying to decide if the school is right for your family, I encourage you to schedule a meeting with the school and have your child do a “shadow “day and see for yourselves why we are so happy here!...

Parent: Our student Michael was a 7th grader. He joined Welsley’s middle school program in the fall semester of 2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all classes and instructions were all carried out remotely. That remote/online learning setup initially had created a huge problem for Michael, so we had to make some changes. Based on external recommendation, we decided to transfer him to Wesley! We contacted a team of school counselor and class subject teachers, and established a clear understanding of the goals and expectations for Michael. During the school year, we followed Michael’s progress with quite a number of team meetings, and fine-tuned / adjusted his study accordingly. We must say that, Michael responded really well and was able to improve remarkably with the personally tailored learning program.... Read 21 reviews

Niche User: When I first came to the school, i was unsure of what to expect, because I had been bullied for the past several years at previous schools. I was relieved to find out that the students were much nices and more amaible. The teachers truly care about their students; much time and effort is spent on each individual. The food is freshly made everyday in a clean kitchen and served in generous portions. Every morning on every school day (with very ew exceptions) except Friday, fresh homemeade burritos are sold for only one dollar. The students enjoy four-day school weeks and a three-month long summer vacation... Read 5 reviews

Senior: I've been attending The Rock Christian School since 4th grade and I couldn't have asked for a better school to attend. The Christian curriculum is one of the best things about TRCS. Another big part of the school is the school spirit. Our high school offers a leadership class which leads all of the schools activities for k-12!... Read 3 reviews
