Ocean View is a wonderful school. It is a supportive and challenging working environment. My children came in half way through the school year (2nd and 5th grade). Both of their teachers were tremendously supportive and I could see the kids thriving. Their math, language and science skills were improving every day. If I compare what they were doing 6 months ago with what they are doing now, it is nothing short of amazing what they have accomplished. Their hard work and the incredible environment of Ocean Views teachers, principal, staff and students have given amazing results. Congratulations and thank you Ocean View!
Great and friendly International school with excellent and dedicated teachers and staff! My two kids both enjoy the environment, teaching style and activities!!
Our child is so fortunate to attend Ocean View since kindergarten. Going into her last year, 5th grade, she has had INCREDIBLE teachers and has been exposed to such a diverse group of kids from all over the world. The school is top notch.
My son studied at Ocean View for the 4th grade in 2007/2008. I was impressed by his class teacher, Ms. Kimberg, who devoted her energic and continuing efforts in education work. The boy still remembers her always positive and encouraging remarks. I believe her encouragement and love will be the fountainhead of confidence of my son for whole childhood!
Ocean View is an amazing and wonderful school!
I think teachers are great at this school and go out of their way to educate our kids. There is a great community in this school.
It is a great community of parents, teachers, and students. And I love the principal!
Amazing diversity, as well as dedicated teachers and families. My kids attend school with students from all over the world. The principal is very hands on and takes the time to get to know families.
Ocean View is a diverse, international school where any student can feel at home. Many of the children living in UC Berkeley's University Village attend OV. Although the student population is fairly transient, OV's teachers have proven they adapt quickly with change and know how to continue to challenge this bright student population. The OV PTA is very active and welcoming to newcomers. While the campus is quite large for an elementary school, the school is divided into 'pods' -- while provides a sense of security and safety to the students.
Very good school, very good teachers, my daughter had a great year here and learnt a lot.
