Schools in San Gabriel, CA

“We were very fortunate to have our daughter join Clairbourn's Junior Pre-K Class led by Mrs Rankin and her TA, Ms Macchi. My daughter was attending a Montessori school prior to our looking into Clairbourn, and I felt that she needed more opportunities to perk her growing curiosity in life. Clairbourn School definitely has an abundant resources and opportunities to provide! What really made me so happy about switching over to Clairbourn was their strong emphasis on teaching and instilling kindness and respect for one another. Clairbourn also really felt like a family, a very caring and welcoming community. Every event they put on is so carefully thought out. Their back-to-school STEM event was amazing, the Grandparents/Parents Appreciation Days were so special, their Entrepreneur/Family BBQ was so much fun and their Christmas Show production was so well put-together. Unfortunately COVID hit us all by surprise in March 2020. I applaud how quickly Mrs Rankin learned and adapted to providing a virtual learning setting for the remainder of the school year. She personally dropped off weekly activity kits for my daughter and surprised us with a photo book at the end of the year with snapshots of our daughter's remote learning journey. We were looking forward to joining Ms Rubio's Pre-K class this past year, but due to LA County's Safer at Home mandate, their preschool was not able to open for in-person learning for Fall 2020. In the meantime, their head of school, Dr Patzlaff, and their lower school director, Mrs Paciorek, were very attentive and provided guidance on age appropriate activities our kids could engage in and continue in their development. They've been very communicative throughout this past year and very flexible and understanding of each family's situation. Your child will be loved at Clairbourn School--200%! You will have no doubts.”

“We have been at ACGS since 2019 and love the wonderful teachers, beautiful grounds and well-balanced and engaging curriculum. This is a special place to send your children to for their first school experience. Miss Chadia is a gem!”

“From Mrs. Goe's kindergarten class in 1932 to my eighth grade graduation in 1940, I loved McKinley School and my classmates.I have many wonderful memories of making hot air balloons, kite flying contests, and playing in various sports in the district track meets. My name then was Virginia Herrick. I still keep in touch with several of my classmates.Best wishes. . .”

“Just enrolled my kiddo in the program. The staff is friendly and attentive to the children. I do have once concern. When the children are playing outside, I notice that there is no equipment to play with. Balls, Jump Rope, etc. And if there is a toy, it is because someone brought it to school. Which means the kiddos are fighting for it. Otherwise, it is a great program.”

“There are great and loving teachers and staff here that are attentive to each and every student.They really get the kids attention and foster a joy of learning.They handled the Covid crisis with grace and understanding.”

“I love the staff the office ladies are super nice. The principal is a very awesome and nice person. Ms. Marchionne, Ms Quezada, Ms Gutierrez, Ms Lin, Mr Garcia, Ms shu, Ms Day, the preschool side Mr Anthony and Ms Sandra after school woodcraft awesome people and I'm so glad my children got to learn things from everyone that I mentioned. I am very grateful for the education my children got. One bad apple doesn't make all apples bad sadly we got a bad teacher this year that I did not named but she knows who she is. And sadly it was one of the reasons why my child decided not to stay”
