Reformation Lutheran School

This is a bit of a long-winded review, but I wanted to cover everything! Reformation has been a perfect school for my son. He went to Horizon Christian Academy prior to their closing that campus 3 years ago, and he is very happy at Reformation. He is the type of student that usually does very well in school naturally and can get bored if not challenged enough; but when overwhelmed with too much he doesn't like that either. The academics at this school are just right the English Social Studies, Spelling, Science, and Reading are great. I also appreciate that the Math is NOT Common Core. Spanish is taught by a part time Spanish teacher, and the current Art program is called Meet the Masters and is a great once a week class incorporating learning about famous artists and making projects. For sports, the Volleyball and Basketball are actually very well run, there is a nice gym, with games against other small San Diego schools. The best things about Reformation are the amazing teachers. All of them are really just excellent! They not only know how to teach the subjects, but they truly care about the kids so much, the amount of effort and heart they put into the classes is stellar. Depending on the number of students in a given year, a teacher may teach one grade, or it may be a combo class, such as my son's current 4th/5th grade class. With the small class size, the teacher will know your child and recognize any needs that may arise. The opportunity to learn with and socialize with kids of other ages is beneficial for everyone (this also applies to their convenient and budget-friendly after-care program). Lastly, I will say something about the religious aspect, because it is a Christian (Lutheran) private school. I am a grandchild of a pastor in London, but was brought up only attending church on Christmas Eve, if that. We still don't go to church every Sunday, so I appreciate Reformation bringing the knowledge of God to my son. Religion is a part of the curriculum, and the kids go to chapel each Wednesday. They learn about the Bible; They memorize verses weekly, and the environment is Christian. If you don't consider yourself a "religious" person, you should still consider this school for your child. When you see a school that has above average academics, and is not overly expensive (no more that we paid for daycare with the baby annually)...how could you go wrong allowing your child an education that incorporates love, trust, responsibility, and Christian ethics. If you worry about what will a kid from a small Christian K-8th school do if faced with going to a public high school, my answer comes from what an older parent told me once. These Reformation graduates go on to whatever challenges they may face in high. schools with not only a solid academic history, but with God's moral compass to guide them.

Hi I go to reformation and I think that it is the best school you can participate in so much I LOVE. It and they have a principle he is the best ever! And best of all God has given us the gift for our pastor to preach the good news God has given us so I think every kid deserves to go to this school - iyla
