The strength and foundation of your child’s success truly begins from the start, and we couldn't be happier with the role this school played in our daughters' lives. Our love for their school and what it stands for is immeasurable. Both our daughters attended this school during their foundational years and thrived immensely due to the dedication, kindness, and support from the teachers and staff. Our girls had so much passion for learning! It was so great, they never wanted to miss anything! It's heartbreaking for us that we had to move to another state, as there is no other school like this one. It’s been years and we still think of this place deep in our hearts. Our 9-year-old daughter, a shining example of the school's effectiveness, recently won a spelling bee against the entire middle school and is performing at a math level two grades above her own. Our middle-grade daughter, also excelling academically, aspires to be a pediatrician or a surgeon. The importance of a strong educational foundation cannot be overstated, and we are eternally grateful for the roots we were able to plant here. Our gratitude towards this school is endless. We visit this school every summer when we are there. I am crying sitting here, as tomorrow our middle schooler is being honored for Exceeding Excellence on Awards Day. I think back of when the journey begin for our girls and I immediately think of this beautiful place and being so grateful. Thank you for believing in our children, nurturing their potential, and playing a crucial role in the future of our world. Our appreciation cannot be put into words.
Excellent school. Very clean, organized, and elite teachers who genuinely care about their students. Ms. Indiria does a great job running her class. Kids are learning about peace makers, nature, math, reading, community, social skills in Kindergarten. Staff does a great job with events, communication via text, and year end events.
I had to pull my boys (4 and 6) from this 'school' because they were suffering under their care. I had to do it urgently as I started to realize something was amiss in a big way in their behavior and their overall state of mind and well-being. After I took them out of school, I immediately took them to see their pediatrician for evaluation. Which he in turn referred my older son for further evaluation by a psychologist for possible cognitive development delays... Luckily, diagnosis was normal and his symptoms were primarily due to stress. Looking back at the time he was at school it all makes sense now. He was repeating profane words that were foreign to our lexicon at home. Which means he was not closely supervised and he was interacting with kids that subjected him to verbal abuse while teachers unable or unwilling to intervene. This happens when you have high students to teacher ratio. You end up with frustrated indifferent teachers that harbor resentment towards the kids. He was acting up after he is picked up from school. Actually, their after school hours highlight what their school is all about; frustrated indifferent teachers with fake smiles. Kids pick up on that and they know when they are not being loved and they act out their fear and frustration. What the teachers are good at is putting a fake smile on and acting like they care but when the parents leave, it is apparent that it is a different story all together. In their new school, both boys flourished immediately. I pick them up from school; I see them calm and smiling. I walk in after hours I see teacher giving them close attention and teacher is smiling and her smile is from the heart and kids feel secure and loved. What a night and day difference. Care Advocate Program (CCAP) need to investigate them before they cause any harm to more kids.
My children have been going to this school for several years since the school opened. They both love the school and the teachers. I like how the school is open minded and is constantly improving and doing things to communicate well with the parents.
My older daughter has been going to MMI since it first opened and we both love it. Now my younger daughter has started coming here too. My kids have grown with the school and now there r so many classes n activities. Irvine is expensive n so it this school but the environment, teachers, cleanliness n the curriculums are much better then many I have looked around in Orange and San Bernardino counties.
