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

Christina Morelli When I first arrived to VACE I was nervous because I was choosing to start over in my career. Nicole was very helpful when it came to any questions I had. She introduced me to the instructors of VACE for the medical assistant front and back office. Elesia and Margie are the best hands down. They are patient, fun, knowledgeable and caring. They guide you and provide a sense of calm when you are feeling overwhelmed. If you want a new career or want new skills don’t be scared to walk in and make an appointment for them to show you around.

sandi aresco I love attending VACE. The whole process has been amazing. The office staff helped me to get the ball rolling and I was able to get a Pell Grant to pay for my program. The teachers are all so helpful!! They really want you to succeed and are available and so knowledgeable in their fields. I procrastinated on going back to school because I hadn’t been a student for decades but now that I’m here I wish I would’ve started sooner! There are so many services and events through the school for advancement and professional networking. If you’re even considering going back to school I would definitely speak with a counselor at VACE.

Grieselda Robles This school is a wonderful place for adults looking to return to education. It’s common to feel uncertain or overwhelmed when trying to find the way back to school, but here, you’ll receive all the support you need. The staff are not only friendly but also highly professional and dedicated to helping you succeed. Choosing VACE is a decision you won’t regret.

Hannah Lydick We cannot praise the Coastline team enough!! This staff pours so much love into the kids each and every day, from a fun welcome at check in and hugs when leaving. The school is filled with learning opportunities in the classroom, science lab, goats, chickens, interactive guests and more! The campus is also incredibly secure in their safety protocol and up to date training, but done without it feeling cold and closed off. Our daughter looks forward to attending every morning and misses school over weekends - could you ask for any more as a parent? We could not have asked for a better place to start off our girl. Coastline will always have a special place in our hearts!

Donna R We are so lucky to have such a hidden gem located in Ventura. My son currently attends this school and absolutely loves it. It’s clean, safe, and most importantly the environment is so positive. All the teachers we have had or encountered are loving and genuinely care for my son. Another fantastic part of the school is the Director Molly, she is so passionate about her work and the kids that attend the school which is so rare to see nowadays and I’m incredibly thankful!

Elizabeth Garnett My son has gone here for several years and the staff are so loving, kind, attentive and engaged. He loves the play spaces and chickens and goats

Hello Engage Great experience here with an amazing staff (Preschool and up!). They love the kids and desire to give them a quality education that will last with them for their lifetime, where their education interweaves with their faith. They will also gladly give you a tour of their facilities.

Franklin Murphy Amazing school, family and church.

Linda Stover Perfect school for my 2 granddaughters. Very protective & a plus in our lives. Its closely located to mid Ventura near Pacific View Mall.

Ana Gonzales Has exceptional programs for children with special accommodations. The principal shes amazing. The school is gated. A very nice playground for the children.

Ashley Galvin My daughter loves this school and so do I...

Anchal Sharma Really just the best day care! Everyone in the administration, teaching, and staff is welcoming and helpful. The facilities are super secure. My son loves going here!

Jeannette Ortiz My son recently graduated from LSM this summer after being here for 3 years. This has been such a great experience and it has been hard to find a place that meets the standards that LSM offers. From providing great academic teaching to having a great personal connection.

Michael & Sylvia Pinckney Absolutely the best place for our 4 year old. Everyone from the director Miss Jennifer to all the teachers in the school are wonderful. Super clean and well organized. I know my child is safe and most of all happy at this school.

Cesar Libanati My daughter went here. We still our in contact with many of the kids and parents who attended, and credit little tree for creating such a community style environment. The staff was always amazing, and seemed to understand my child. My next child will certainly attend here. Not to mention the parents nights out are a nice occasional touch.

Ashley Beckwith The teachers here are outstanding and the hands on learning is one of a kind.

Ingrid Brennan Its not cheap, but you do get what you pay for! We loved how much time our daughter spent playing, especially outdoors, and even in the mud. As teachers, we know that preschoolers need to play much more than sit in seats doing mini-kindergarten. We toured many preschools, and her older sister went to different ones, and this was by far the best experience. Our daughter loved her teachers so much - they even came to her birthday party, which was the biggest thrill for a little kid. Lastly, Little Tree organizes great family events, both during and after the school day...and the owners husband makes amazing pizza:)

Andrea Saugen Amazing school! We’ve been at City Christian School for 3 years now and I love the diversity and the community we have at the school. Our son is thriving academically and socially thanks to the amazing teachers he’s had so far.

Javier Gallegos Only did two years there but it deserves 5 stars

Jacob Yale 10 years so why not 5 stars?

Urmomis84 Jake I loved it so nostalgic it had free books and free food i loved every subject

Kelly What an amazing school! The teachers and director are so incredibly engaged and attentive. I loved having my daughter learn and explore here. The garden is a wonderful learning environment, and the classrooms are perfectly suited to each age/stage. I love this school, and all the staff.

Stuart Sherman Our son is TK age but we much preferred the school hours, community and teacher to student ratio at Children’s World. Best decision! Our son thrived here and we are sad that he is aging out. The staff here are professional and friendly, with decades of experience and they simply love children. Thank you, Children’s World!

Debra Fields My grandson attended Homestead and loved it. The teachers and administrators are excellent. The only reason we left is because we moved out of California. Highly recommend this program.

Kelli This is an amazing place with an amazing staff that works hard to teach life skills to an array of young adult individuals who all have various diagnosis.

Brad Erickson Its going to be a great class. One word of warning. It is cold in there at night. Dress warm! Update. 4.0!
