“The team is very professional and effective. My son came out of the three weeks summer instruction ahead of the game in school with more confidence and knowledge to be able to learn in fourth grade.”
“What a gem of a preschool! So glad we found this school in 2015 and are sad we are wrapping up our time there. Ms. Josie, the director, has made such thoughtful and important changes to the school's facility to make it a safe, nurturing and engaging place for children. Many of her staff have worked there for years and their kindness and dedication to the children is so apparent. My children know they are loved.There is so much play space (indoor and out) and never a shortage of activities. From the garden yard to the bike yard to the playground to the reading nooks - there is always something to discover, lessons to learn and joy to find. My children learned so many important social skills - they've become confident and independent and remind me to eat my healthy food first (a saying during lunchtime at SJP). We are not Lutheran but appreciated that they teach love and acceptance and to celebrate differences.The classes are small, this is not a giant, impersonal daycare. We bonded with many of the families and feel like we're part of a true community.Tuition is reasonable and the hours are IDEAL for working parents.”
“My son has been at BB4 since he was 8 weeks old and I am so incredibly grateful for all of the teachers and staff. I've never seen such a group of incredibly kind, genuine, intelligent people in one organization. They dealt with the pandemic with strength, professionalism, communication and transparency and we wouldn't have felt safe bring our son anywhere else! Through it all, they have a whole curriculum AND teach kindness and inclusion. Thank you so very much!!!!!”
“Fusion Academy Manhattan Beach has been an amazing experience for our son. He is a smart and hard working kid but for some reason a large public high school didn't work for him so he switched to Fusion Academy Manhattan Beach in his Sophomore year of high school and is now in his junior year. There are so many positives to share. The one-on-one teaching is excellent. The quality of the teachers is very high but my son is also understanding the school work so much more as he is able to ask questions right away but at the same time there is no place to hide in the class. The teachers are also very supportive, they want you to understand the work and it feels more like a partnership. There are also more course options available, which given my sons interest in computing, he has been able to take classes like Cybersecurity in addition to the usual AP computer classes, and is planning on taking Animation in his final year. The school is also very flexible as there has been times he has had to move classes around or reschedule classes due to things like illness, and it has been very easy to do that. What we have really learned as a family is that there are many school options available to your kids, and if you find the right one, like we have for our son, it can really change them in a positive way.”
“Our son attended BCM for two years. This school is a absolute gem. A great place run by wonderful, caring, engaged educators. We wouldn’t be in California if we hadn’t found BCM. We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our son and our lives. Best wishes.”
