"We are in the middle of our second year in the middle school and are extremely happy. It is a K-8th grade model, which I really like because I think it is helpful to the older middle schools to be leaders for the younger kids, and the younger kids enjoy the mentoring of the older kids. As a result, we find that the kids are generally nicer to each other than we found at programs with seperate K-5 and 6-8th grade etc. It is a waldorf influenced education, with a nice music, japanese, heart, hands, mind approach is perfect for our son. With 3 children now going through schools, we have found you need to find the right fit for your child, and this is perfect for our son. The teachers and administration are responsive and sensitive. The parents are very involved. Because it is a waldorf influenced school, with limits to media, and clothing should not have logos, etc. it may not be for all families or students. One of the methods unique to this school is teachers stay with a class as the class moves up grades. The academics are stong, and the shool has great testing scores. . We are very pleased with the current administration, which is jointly run by two women."

"What a beautiful and safe place that teaches the important values in life. Students are taught to learn and not to perform. The curriculum offers lots of art, theatre, gardening, Japanese and music. There is no TV in the class room and parents are asked to keep the children 'media free' on weekdays. What a difference it makes! The children are calm and focused in the class room and ready and eager to learn."

"My daughter attended Ocean Charter school for 2 1/2 years. Her first year was overall a fairly successful and happy transition, which thereafter began to go downhill as my daughter become the object of bullying, which was ignored by the teacher and staff, or which my daughter was blamed for causing. Her last year, was an absolutely horrible experience for our entire famiily, most of the teachers for her 6th grade year were new to the school and inept in the Waldorf method, and incapable of controlling the students. My family and family friends had to band together to ensure my daughter spent as little time on campus as possible, without one of us there to monitor to do our best that she not come home in tears, why the reaction of the staff and teachers was "all 6th grade girls get teased." I eventually reported the bullying to L.A. Unified, which seemed to make them take the matter a bit more seriously. My daughter attended a different school for 7th and 8th grade - where she is an A & B student, gifted athlete, and surrounded by friends. Ocean Charter was the problem! Notably, the child who bullied my daughter the most, was the child of a teacher at the school. hmmmm......"

"Both my children attended OCS K-6th and were prepared when they both went on to private middle schools. My thinking as to why my children did so well is that I bought into the philosophy of limited media. We have carried that philosophy over to their new schools and it is working out great. The school requires that the parents participate and if you are not interested in helping the school this is not the place for you. Please take the time to see what the school is about and choose accordingly."
