Sierra Canyon School

• Private School
• Chatsworth, CA
• PK, K-12
• 46

Sophomore: Sierra Canyon High School is a relatively challenging school, offering many AP, honors, and elective courses that can make your schedule meet your individual needs. You can choose up to 8 classes every year, which compared to most schools is considerably more, which means there are more opportunities for one to thrive. Although there is an emphasis on athletics when it comes to extracurriculars, overall there are options for everyone to feel interested and included.

TVT Community Day School

• Private School
• Irvine, CA
• PK, K-12
• 126

Parent: Amazing all around! My son on the autistic spectrum needed a full time aid in 1st grade, struggled through middle school elsewhere. We brought him back to TVT for high school after 3 years away worried as to whether he could successfully make it through high school. The learning center support was unbelievably great as were the teachers helping my son. He was recently accepted to a top 25 US University and 4 other schools with large merit packages. We are so proud of what he has accomplished with the help of everyone at the school. He was a 2 sport 4 year varsity athlete, a club leader and has become a confident, polite young man with a heart of gold. The school community is really a family and we are blessed to have Dr Davis, Ms Quigley and other very capable admin and staff at the school. The Film, Math and Engineering programs are truly one of a kind in OC if not the nationally.

St. Margaret's Episcopal School

• Private School
• San Juan Capistrano, CA
• PK, K-12
• 35

Senior: Although people may think of us as "The rich white kid" school, it really isn't the case. There's an abundance of diversity, and many students in the school come from lower class backgrounds. It's humbling to see how close our class has gotten over the years, which I think is one of the strongest points of St. Margarets. The community is extremely tight-knit. You can be yourself, and the friends you make here will stay with you forever. There's also everything you would ever need resource/technology wise, so there's never a moment where we haven't had what we needed to learn. Safety is top notch as well, for the concerned parents. In fact, I would even go so far to say they go overboard on the safety, to the point where it gets a bit annoying for students, hence why I'm giving a 4 star instead of 5 star. It's a great school, but it's extremely expensive and is definitely not for kids who don't like adult supervision.

Pilgrim School

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• PK, K-12
• 33

Alum: Pilgrim School is not like other pretentious Los Angeles private schools. As a recent alumni of Pilgrim, I can confidently say that Pilgrim helped me love what I was learning and helped me love learning in general. With teachers and administrators who treated students with a sense of equity and respect, school felt less like a job and more a community that works symbiotically. With an amazing STEM program, especially engineering, Pilgrim school helped me thrive and formulate and idea what I would like to major in during college. Cafeteria food is not good but thats about the biggest negative!

Ribet Academy

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• PK, K-12
• 23

Alum: It is a small school which allows many of the students to really get to know each other, the teachers, and the administration - everyone begins to feel like family. However, there are few teachers, and usually only 1 teacher teaching a subject and usually teaching quite a few different classes. This can make it hard on the school and students if that teacher quits. In my case, there was quite a bit of turnover in some of my classes, making it hard to learn much in those classes as we had new/different expectations with each new teacher as well as needed to help the new teachers learn a bit of where we were already at in our studies with the respective classes. Overall though, the teachers and administration really recognize students as individual people and seek to be involved in not just the furthering of their education but all that makes them a well-rounded person. The art program is also spectacular and truly something to rave about.

Southlands Christian Schools

• Private School
• Rowland Heights, CA
• PK, K-12
• 12

Parent: I have 2 children in the elementary school and they love it at Southlands because they feel loved and safe here. The small class sizes allow each child to get plenty of attention from their teachers. I love how extracurricular subjects (PE, Spanish, computer, art, music, and library time) are included in the daily curriculum. At Southlands, my children are getting quality education with Jesus' presence and guidance.

Linfield Christian School

• Private School
• Temecula, CA
• PK, K-12
• 86

Senior: Linfield Christian is an amazing place. The school has three core values: Christ-Centered, Community, and College Prep. Everyone from the Head of School down to the teachers do everything in their power to make sure those three values are represented in everything that happens which is awesome because there aren't many schools around that are as invested in the students and the mission of the school, than the teachers at Linfield Christian. From a school standpoint, there are rigorous academics with many AP offerings. In the HS there is an engineering track and a biomedicine track. You are also able to take a tour of the campus with someone from the admissions office year-round. Definitely take a look!

International School of Los Angeles - Los Feliz

• Private School
• Los Angeles, CA
• PK, K-12
• 13

Junior: LILA offers a bilingual French-International education, with the choice of taking the French Baccalaureate or the International Baccalaureate, creating a very rigorous, demanding, and global curriculum. It is a very small school, with a little over 300 students. As a current IB student myself, I think this school does a lot to prepare you for the globalized society we're living in today. However, you should note that this school only offers AP EXAMS, not COURSES. The education is very Eurocentric. If you don't speak French at home, take the IB. Otherwise, if you're a French citizen, you might as well take the FB

Faith Baptist Schools

• Private School
• Canoga Park, CA
• PK, K-12
• 43

Parent: We are very satisfied with quality of Faith Baptist School. Our daughter loved the school, achieved college scholarships and received several college offers. The curriculum was well balanced and kept her interested and motivated. Most of the kids at school had high moral standards, which the school encourages. I personally love that she was taught the Bible and about our Lord Jesus. Maddy built many friendships and continues their friendships into college. We are so glad we made the choice way back in her K4 year.
Thank you Faith Baptist School!
Best Regards,
Victor and Holly Gelfo

Trinity Classical Academy

• Private School
• Valencia, CA
• PK, K-12
• 15

Alum: Classical education provides students with the cultural capital that will give them some authority and confidence in college and will connect them to a rich legacy of study. By studying things that other students their age do not, they will be set apart in a way that will make them more appealing to colleges. However, it is also limited to western tradition and often in that perspective, the focus on the issues that concern us today and an understanding of multiple diverse experiences are missing. Through this education, I have learned a unique way of thinking that is different from the majority of my college peers and has provided me with an older but uncommon way of approaching at thinking, arguing and reading. The science and math education does not match the quality of the humanities, as may be expected of a classical school. I do think that, though I received a very interesting and engaging education, I missed out on a decent understanding of science an math.

We love the sense of community and the family atmosphere as well as the phenomenal group of teachers, coaches and supporting staff who truly love our children and embrace the Christian Faith. We are grateful for our Head of Schools, Chris Rutz as well as our elementary principal, Tessa Samuelsen as they lead us on this prosperous journey.

Without a doubt, this is truly an National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence!

Saddleback Valley Christian School

• Private School
• San Juan Capistrano, CA
• PK, K-12
• 87

Parent: We love SVCS! All three of our children began in preschool. Our first two were there through high school graduation and our youngest is following suit.

Their teachers & coaches are incredible and have exceeded our expectations by developing personal relationships that often extend beyond their academic or athletic responsibilities. They have helped develop our children's minds, confidence, character, talents and faith.

As our children got older, we gave them the option of attending larger schools but to our delight, none of them wanted to leave. They each found security in the relationships they had built with their teachers, coaches, friends and older students who kindly served as mentors. For these reasons, they actually enjoyed going to school.

As parents, we are so grateful for the blessing this school has been in the lives of our children and the eternal impact it has made on us all. We consider the people of SVCS our extended family... It truly is a special place.

Redlands Christian School

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 72

Alum: I have been at Redlands Christian School since I was in first grade, and it has truly become my home. All of the teachers there are kind, thoughtful, and they truly love you. They care about your well-being, and they try their hardest to help you do your best, even outside of school. I have made lifelong friends, and I have loved every single moment in the school. I was involved with things like worship team for about seven years, and I also have been in the choir since I was in 5th grade. These things have allowed me to become close with certain teachers, and they have helped me grow not only musically, but also spiritually, and that is the main goal of every teacher there. I am so grateful for the love I was shown, and I can't wait to see how many others are changed the same way I was.

The teachers who work hard everyday to help us reach our full potential and the trusting relationships the students are able to build with the them. The activities and events that the students plan, which creates a fun and inviting environment for all students. I like that I am able to learn so much about the Armenian culture and become more involved with the traditions, history, and language of my heritage.

Loma Linda Academy

• Private School

Senior: I have attended Loma Linda Academy for twelve years–this is my thirteenth. LLA is a perfect environment for religious growth (it is Seventh Day Adventist). The religious aspect holds true throughout each of the three campuses, with Campus Ministries working at most functions to create a spiritually-fulfilling atmosphere. LLA's staff truly cares about you and most teachers will go out of their way to help a student. Within junior high and high school, LLA offers sports like flag football, basketball, soccer, swimming, badminton, etc. There's also high school clubs like Reality Check (drama), Youth-to-Youth (community service), and Shades Club (culture). My experience with LLA will be appreciated throughout the rest of my life.
