Top Rated 15 Schools in Thousand Oaks, CA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Eva Grimm We absolutely love Bridges so far. The class sizes are small and the teachers and assistants are very patient and kind. The curriculum includes learning about conflict resolution and learning about your self. They also are learning all the regular school curriculum that you would expect. Every staff member I come across is smiling and happy to be at work. Most importantly the general feeling of the school is happy. All of the kids Ive seen on campus are smiling most of the time. Highly recommended!

Shelley Fariello We recently went on a tour at the school led by the school Director we felt immediately embraced by the staff teachers students and the community at large. all the children pre-K to eighth grade looked happy to be there and engaged - many congratulations to Bridges

Jessica Heim Im a longtime educator and parent of three kids at Bridges Charter ranging from TK to 8th grades - one in the school site program and two in the charter homeschool program. We moved from our neighborhood schools to attend Bridges because of the innovative, nurturing, and creative environment and the schools ability to meet students where they are and really personalize their educational experience based on how they learn best. Our child in the school site program has hands-on learning experiences and is excited to go to school everyday. The learning is developmentally appropriate and engaging. The homeschool program is such an important and needed option for so many children with different learning styles and needs. We have watched our child go from never wanting to go to school to flourishing in the homeschool environment and being excited to go to campus twice a week for the most engaging enrichment classes like science/STEAM, yoga, art, music, and studying nature. The homeschool teacher team guides and supports you and your child through the process and the additional opportunities for park meet ups and field trips are wonderful. The Special Education department and School Psychologist are not only knowledgable and supportive, but truly care about the whole child. I can not recommend this school enough. We love being a part of the Bridges Charter community!

Starr Penix I love the Accelerated Academy! It has given me a great education, but more importantly, I have grown in my relationship with God through the support of the teachers and staff. I am a junior in high school, and I am very excited for the opportunities that this school has given me for college and for the rest of my life. The courses that I am currently taking are Philosophy, Poetry, English III, U.S. History, Physics, Bible, Spanish II, Pre-Calculus, Art, and P.E. I love my school! #BestSchoolEver

Justine Tamayo This is a great preschool. Teachers are friendly and great at what they do.

Jake Perdue This is great school and staff really car about the students and want them to grow future in Christ. I have also made many friends there and look foward to making more

Jocelyn Myers A true gem. Dedicated educators, beautiful integration of faith and goodness into all campus spaces, and a welcoming community no matter what your background. Our kids love going to school and we love being involved. Elementary and middle school are such fleeting, special times, and we feel very thankful to have found our "bubble".

Katherine Hren Ascension Lutheran is an amazing school and community. It is a village in and of itself and I feel truly blessed to be a part of the Ascension community. My children are surrounded by love and amazing teachers and leadership. It is filled with terrific children and families.

Judith Vega "We are so grateful to be a part of Ascension Lutheran School. Every staff member from the Principal to the teachers aides has a vested interest to ensure that each and every student thrives here. We are so impressed with the quality of the education and love the fact that teachers work closely together to provide a cohesive, integrated curriculum. Education here focuses not only on important core subjects but also state of the art classes in outdoor exploration, music, art, science and Spanish. The robust athletics program focuses on the growth of each individual student’s ability and teaches team building and strength of character. We love the nurturing environment Ascension provides all of its students!

Tony Laiewski Our daughter attended St. Patricks K-6th grade. The school was highly recommended by the administrator of her Preschool and we were pleased from day one. The St. Patrick’s teachers ensure all children have the ability to learn at the highest level and we appreciated the time and care given to each student. St. Patrick’s did a great job preparing our daughter for entrance into La Reina Middle School. Teachers provided the academic rigor needed to transition easily to middle school (and now on to high school.) St. Patrick’s fosters an environment of personal responsibility, community and family values. My wife and I highly recommend St. Patrick’s to anyone looking for a great school for their child.
