Sequoyah School - K-8 - Pasadena G. Calof: Our family was fortunate enough to discover Sequoyah (K-8) during our son’s middle school search… and he (and we) were instantly enchanted. Whereas most schools only focus on the proverbial ‘three R’s’ (reading - writing - arithmetic)… at Sequoyah, they equally embrace and cultivate the “four C’s”... Curiosity, Creativity, Compassion and Community.
Ask any student, parent or teacher and you’ll hear the same answer, “There’s no place like Sequoyah” and it’s true. Because Sequoyah is more than just a school... Sequoyah is a state of mind… A sense of belonging… A feeling of inclusivity… We’re a diverse community-- An extended family. The teachers and staff, the coaches, the families, the kids... Everyone.
It’s such an incredible gift to be present for and take part in our children’s time here. And now, with two kids at Sequoyah (one in middle school, one in high school), we’ve lost count of how many times we’ve said ‘We wish we had a school like this when we were growing up’… We’re forever grateful. Because these really are the years where kids get to just ‘be a kid’. And there’s no place to just be a kid… like Sequoyah. New Horizon School - Pasadena Irfana Hashmi: We had a very bad experience with New Horizons Pasadena, from poor communication (our first tour, where we were greeted by 3 people, ended with them telling us our younger daughter, for whom we were touring, was too young to start that year), to finally applying and being told that our older daughter was not performing at grade level in Kindergarten and therefore could not be admitted to First Grade. I was surprised that they were unable to understand her report card--she had 90s across the subjects. We asked the director of my older ones private school to reach out to the folks at NHS to speak to our daughters performance and they never responded to her email or our query. I found the school administration to be unprofessional and acting in bad faith. I delayed writing this review for some time because I think it is important for Islamic institutions in the West to be supported by the community. Having said that, I found this one was disappointing and it left a really bad impression. This review is not meant to be an attack but constructive feedback for the admin and advice for parents (who never have enough time) looking for a place for their little ones.
