"We completely disagree with the previous reviews. Our children have attended Junipero Serra School in Carmel, CA for 7 years. Today, they attended the Monterey County "Mathletics" competition. They have recieved an excellent education. almost all of their teachers have been excellent, and the school's small class size and nurturing environment vs. cost are beyond compare in the local area. The schools budget is paltry and requires parent participation in fundraising. Teachers don't work for the salary; they could make more at McDonald's. Most are retired, long-term teachers who are there because they love the school. It's not perfect, but for 4-5 times more, kids can go to other private schools. Unfortunately, the school isn't for everyone, but if you find it not suiting your needs, there are numerous other public\private schools in the area that are top-notch."

"The campus and curriculum are great. I feel that the staff teachers aside act as though they pay us rather than the other way around. They do not give a very warm vibe although I'm sure if I made generous donations as if my $1,000+ (after school care, lunches, extras, fundraisers) a month didn't cover it. The communication is lacking unless your a stay at home mom who hangs out at the school all day. The calendar events page is terrible and half of the information is not on there. They are very vague and communication is given as though your you are an alumni of the school. Good luck newbies. Also the $150 per parent chrarege unless you attend volunteer events is ridiculous. They won't work with even if someone is in the hospital. They will still charge you. It's unfortunate because it could be an amazing school."

"When we relocated to the Carmel area we were surprised by the number of excellent private schools throughout the Monterey Peninsula. After carefully researching each one of them, visiting the campuses and interviewing past and current families, we decided on JSS. We found it to provide the nurturing environment we wanted for our children, passionate teachers who respect the unique learning styles of each student and a challenging academic program that prepared our three children for high school. We were amazed that such a small school (in such a beautiful setting) could provide the above in a mutually respectful Christian environment.....and offer so many extras, as well!!!"
