I am extremely picky when it comes to education. But, as a new parent, I just have positive things about the school: the classes have a small number of students, teachers are very enthusiastic, and authorities know what they are doing. I changed jobs shortly after moving to the area and have chosen almost an hour commute each way rather than moving my child. Keep up the good work!!!
P.S. I strongly disagree with the previous review. The school facility is small indeed. Nevertheless, the school atmosphere is warm and family like. The “teachers distracted by other children” statement is nonsense. The tuition cost is one of the lowest in the Bay Area.
Found the school principal very pleasant and enlightening, however, the teachers seemed very judgmental. The teachers seemed very distracted by other children and parents during supposed "one-on-one" interview. The facility was small, cluttered, outdated, and the bathroom seemed a bit unclean. For the money this tuition costs I believe more attention and consideration is required.

The classrooms are spacious and kid-friendly. The curriculum meets the needs of the children at their level. My daughters knows how to write, count, and read simple sentences in Russian and English which is very impressive. The creative projects kids create are amazing. Principal of the school arrange many special activities such as math, Spanish, Chinese, art, chess, dance, singing and fieldtrips as well. Kids participate in wonderful Winter show, Mother's day.
