“I love this school personally. The teachers are great, the students are nice, and the principal is awesome. Both choir and music teachers know exactly what they're talking about too. Im extremely fond of the choir. It lets you perform not only inside the school but at bookstores, cathedrals, schools, (etc.) The music in the Parks program is superb you get to sing your hearts out and you get to go to disneyland after. It's a bit pricey but it is worth it! Our music teacher also leads the instrumental classes. She teaches them very well. Her students in beginning classes are sometimes better than other school's intermediate classes. The art teacher is just wonderful. You don't just draw in art class you learn about the history of art and he teaches you how to improve.I like every single part of SGCS field trips, students, and teachers.”

“This school is nothing compared to any school that my son has been to. The local Montessori's have nothing over this amazing school. The school invites parents to be involved and they often communicate open and honestly with the parents. They truly practice love and discipline as a perfect balance. The kids learn morals, respect and the teachers and the school overall does not tolerate bullying in any way shape or form. If a student dislikes this school, it's probably because they are a student who had a distaste and disrespect for discipline. Sorry to hear that students are bashing the school here on this site. But, every parent I've spoken to love love this school. It really makes sense why the school's scores are in the top 20% in the nation! The school has all the elements of making a success out of their students.”

“This school is an amazing place for children to grow up and really experience a full and wonderful childhood. The principal really cares about each child and family. Teacher turn over is extremely low and full families send all their children to SGCS. The loyalty to SGCS gives the school a great small town feel and after finishing 8th grade a few students go on to top private high schools but most go to Maranatha or their local public school for cost reasons. This is a great value school!”

“It is not only startling to see so many positive reviews but to also see so many with spelling errors submitted by parents. Maybe that is why they like the school though as it is not academically strong. The teacher quality ranges from fantastic to acceptable (it is really luck of the draw). The principal does not lead or represent a cohesive school policy. Sadly, the attrition rate is astronomical. If you are interested in this school, ask the principal how many students come back for one, two, three more years. It seems there is a new crop of students every fall and they don't stay. We tried this school and we gave it a great deal of family comittment, but we joined the families who decided not to stay.”

“This school is not academically strong! the junior high program was terrible. I would say that all we did in the 7th and 8th grade geography/history classes was 'art projects'! the math textbook is terrible!!!! as a student from SGCS, i would strongly disagree from the other comments listed here. My only postitive comment about this school is they have a strong religious program. But to be honest, the teachers get a bit pushy about christianity. They stress more effort into the reglion program than the other subjects taught in the school. The teacher quality is poor. I would not recommend this institution to your child. Sadly, public school is academically better than this school”

“Principal is great! Chapels are great. we really like the music program, the art program and the PE teacher. classrooms could use some updating but we've really liked the teachers and the 'small-town feel' of the school. the principal knows the kids and knows what is going on with the families.”

“SGCS is an affordable alternative to the public schools in San Gabriel in comparison to other private schools in the Pasadena area. It offers a balanced curriculum with emphasis on bible study. Field trips at the 6th grade level include a 5 day outdoor school in the local mountain area. The experience taught my son confidence with regards to successfully participating in a ropes course. The 7th grade field trip is a 3 day outdoor school on Catalina Island. Activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and archery. A marine science curriculum gave my son a good experience. The orchestra experience is also valuable. They participate in competitions with other private schools and perform for school functions.”
