Page Private School

I am happy with the staff and curriculum here at this school.
I am happy to see they have educational field trips.
I am very happy with the hours.
I am happy with the lock at the front door that no one uninvited can get in.
Will recommend to friends and family.

What can I say about page… Well this was like my second home growing up. I started at 2 years old in pre-​school and ended up staying until I graduated. This school really helped set the fundamentals on my academic life. They provided us with the right set of tools to not only learn but obtain the information. They had after school programs from cooking to science. I had the privilege of trying them all. They also offer a second language a musical studies. The best time spent were the field trips, recess, summer camps, winter/​spring shows, spring picnics, and international day. Unfortunately since 2007 this school has gone down, but I hope they step it up to where they were once.

I attended this school as a student in third grade, which was six years ago. IF YOU ARE A PARENT, CAUTION YOURSELF.
From a student’s perspective:
My experience here was horrendous. I’m amazed that this school hasn’t been shut down yet.
My mathematics teacher, Neelu Bawa, was very irritable, and impatient with us third graders. On top of that, she would always degrade me in front of the class, telling my third-​grade self that I was not intelligent — making jokes in front of other students and treating me with very little consideration. However, the joke is on her. I am now taking advanced calculus…
All teachers here, at least when I attended, were very stern. It was like going to a military prep-​school in Seoul. Therefore, as a child, I felt very depressed and mistreated whilst I attended.
The only light at the end of the tunnel was Jackie (main office), who was very helpful and had a motherly instinct towards all students.
Then again, don’t expect the teachers to be of utmost quality. I understand that sending your child to a public school is beneath you because you feel entitled, but please note that private schools hire board-​uncertified teachers; many of whom do not have proper credentials (or any at all).
I hope that the horrendous staff was clean-​sweeped in favor of the students.
In summary,
Send your kids elsewhere
Good luck!

To: Ariel M. let me say, you are SO RIGHT about this so called ”Director”, Thats the the last thing she is; Shes a bully to her employees and rude to everyone. She is INCREDILBLY unprofessional. The problem with the school is that very few parents seem to care about the educational programs in this school, they simply use this so called school as a baby sitting service, specially for the 2 or 3 year olds.; Very few teachers are qualified and credentialed, just check the schooling & credentials of the so called teachers who take acer of inftants and pre-​kinder, check their credentialing, they will have NONE; Very few teachers have them; These girls taking care of YOUR Inftants, again ARE NOT QUALIFIED, I blame it ALL on that so called Director. she could care less… hiring unqualified people, who have NO clue on the basic child education foundation that should be at the core of what they stand for; I know because these are things I hear on a daily basis… I will leave it at that…

My daughter has been in Page since ²¹⁄₂ years old… she is now ⁴¹⁄₂. My husband and I work long hours and are extremely busy. However, because of Page and the teachers, we go to work daily knowing she is well taken care of and that every opportunity is given to her to learn and play. That is all I ask and Page succeeds with giving that peace of mind to us. My daughter loves her school, her teachers, her friends and look forward to school every day!
The school facilities has kept on improving and safety is always their concern. The most wonderful thing with page is that they have a video cam in every room of pre school to kindergarten classes and you can watch the class in action from your home computer… I check on my daughter from work every day, just because I miss her:(
Certainly as parents, we always want perfection, but Page has delivered and we are happy parents.

So I scheduled tours to visit the Beverly Hills and Hancock Park Facility today. I found that the school was Okay. I am happy at Chalk Preschool but I will need to find something for after PreK as their school unfortunately only goes to PreK. Anyway, I went a got a tour from Jakie who was very sweet. We did the whole walk through and finally got to where the kids my daughters age would be. PreK/​kindergarden. The bathrooms are VERY Accessible, the kids literally have to leave the classroom UNATTENDED, down a hallway and into the bathroom. When I asked her if the teachers come with the kids to the bathroom she said no. Sorry, I don’t want my ³¹⁄₂ year old walking out of her classroom by herself down a hallway to use the bathroom all alone… especially because anyone could just walk in, and second, she still needs help… This is definetly a deal breaker for me… I gave it 2 stars just because of the location and because the actual campus was nice. Oh and when I asked if there had been any incidents with the children, she answered «There was a time when I kid, came out the front door, but we fixed that problem and now have a secure door with a pin pad.» (which I did have to go through to come in.)

Sooooooooo… this review is about 26 years ago when I used to attend Page School when I was around 7 years old. Wow, I feel old just saying that. Out of all the other school’s that I have attended as a child, this school has always been stamped in my memory for many reasons. The fact that I can recall some of the old memories about this school shows that even as child, they have made a big impact on my life.
This review is based on my memory only. I wanted to share this with fellow Unilocalers who are considering about enrolling their children.
Thanks to Page school, I learned how to swim. I remember they had different activities and one of them was teaching you how to swim. I remember my teacher really took his time to help me learn how to float. Too bad I can’t remember his name.
I also remember going to many fun field trips. One of them was going to a puppet show. Although I remember having a great time at these field trips, I can’t recall all the specific locations and venues. Afterall, I was only…7?
Maybe like once a week or once a month, they offered a cooking class. All the students would sit around the room and watch as the teacher made snacks such a Rice krispy treats. I remember coming home that day and asked my mom to make some with me. It was my very first time being interested to do something in the kitchen. Perhaps the start of my passion towards food and cooking=)
From my very faint memory, there were a lot of positive feelings that I took with me from attending this school. If I only lived in LA, I would consider having my future children attend Page. Great schools= Great permanent memories.
