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!...

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 143 reviews

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 162 reviews

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

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: Teachers are amazing, and with the small class sizes the teachers actually know each student. Since it's a Christian school, students are required to take a Bible-related class each year, which I actually enjoyed. Strong music program. As a Division 4 school, it's easier to make the sport teams, although they are still very competitive. Highly recommend this school!... Read 145 reviews

Senior: I love PCA. It is like a family. With family comes a few frustrations but I wouldn't have it any other way. The staff and faculty really do care about each student. The teachers are always looking for ways to improve and engage students. Most of all school has shown me what God's love looks like.... Read 2 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 83 reviews

Senior: I am currently a senior in high school, however, I have been at Hesperia Christian School since I was in second grade. I have seen the school evolve into the wonderful school that it is today. We are primarily a sports-based school but we do focus heavily on academics. As an athlete and a student, I can confidently say that the coaches and teachers are very understanding and make it easy to find the perfect balance between the two. The coaches and teachers truly care deeply for you, whether it is academic or personal. Hesperia Christian has an amazing drama department. It is for grades 9-12, but I have been in the theater program since I was in seventh grade. I have been in nine plays including many that are well-known. Some include Mary Poppins, Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, and The Three Musketeers. Not only is the high school portion of HCS amazing, but so is the elementary school, and preschool. If you are thinking about enrolling your child, HCS is the perfect choice!... Read 50 reviews

Sophomore: The small size of Loma Linda Academy is both it’s greatest strength and greatest weakness. It’s easy to create close, lasting friendships in such a small environment. However, gossip spreads very quickly and is especially detrimental. Due to its size, there are a lot of structural and academic improvements that could be made. The school is lacking a variety of course options and there are a lot of unsatisfied students. Personally, the small size of the campus has allowed me to be creative and establish programs and clubs on campus. It’s easy to be deeply involved and engaged in what is offered.... Read 138 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 4 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
