Sequoyah School - K-8 - Edu (CA)

5 /5 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.

5 /5 Sarah & Jennie: This is our first year at Sequoyah (we have a kindergartener) and truly feel like we won the lottery. During our school search it became very apparent that Sequoyah would be the best fit for our child. The amount of thought and care that goes into their progressive curriculum and whole child approach has continued to wow us. In daily conversations with fellow parents, we just marvel at how much growth has already happened. Each day our child comes home excited -- exploding with this new love for math and unable to sleep because hes learned to read (which feels like happened over night!). We love how the learning is so beautifully disguised in all the fun hes having and how the entire school community infuses this deep sense of pride, acceptance and belonging in him. I see if in so many ways, today it was the high five from one of the big kids at drop off and my sons grin is just priceless. We feel very fortunate and thrilled to be apart of this special place.

5 /5 Lianne Mathews: My children had a great summer experience here, as did the parents!

5 /5 Stacey Storey: It’s our first year and our kiddo has thrived here. The community bond is strong. There is so much care in teaching the kids to be great leaders of the world. The kids look out for each other and have so much confidence. We are a very diverse class and the parents really listen to each other. I can’t wait to see what other magic unfolds.
