Sea Crest School

What a fabulous school!! Our daughter is getting the well rounded education that we remember from our childhood. Reading, writing, arithmetic, social studies, music, drama, art, technology and Spanish and all that in first grade!! Rather than be overwhelmed, our daughter, just like her classmates are comfortable and enthusiastic about school. If you are curious about the private school option check it out! I give Sea Crest five stars and two thumbs up!!!

Sea Crest kids benefit from a small class size of 16-17 kids and an amazing low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 on a beautiful campus in HMB. The kids benefit from art, music, drama, spanish and technology programs as well as daily PE. There is also before school care and after school care/enrichment programs. The teachers are extremely committed and caring and there is a fantastic sense of community. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. Having looked at the coast side public schools and every private school from Pacifica to Woodside we were so happy to find the perfect school for us right here in our home town. My 2 boys ( in 2nd grade and K) are thriving. Its fantastic hearing them talk in spanish, learn (and LOVE) to read in a heartbeat, have the confidence to act in the musical and just feel so comfortable, safe and nurtured at school plus I use the after school care because my kids never want to come home! The school moto is Seacrest "excites curiosity, encourages creativity and critical thinking and sparks a lifelong love of learning." So true. Come see for yourself the amazing benefits of a small class size in a great school! Worth every penny.

I have two children in Sea Crest School and we love it. We just moved to the area last September and decided we would try private school for the first time. We couldn t be happier with the results. Our kids really like going to school what a relief! They are happy there because they are challenged and it is fun. The teachers are great and so are all the extras Spanish, p.e. (everyday), drama, art, music, and technology. We have been thrilled to find such a wonderful little school, with small class sizes, attentive teachers and staff, and a great group of families that feel the same way we do.

I am a huge believer that a quality education could come from anywhere. For my family Sea Crest was the perfect choice. The quality of education is unmatched and the community that is built between the teachers, students, and families is unbelievable. It is a well rounded school with small classes and a focus on a complete education, including incredible electives such as art, music, drama, and technology taught by dedicated professionals. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for an unbelievable elementary and middle school experience for the entire family.

Sea Crest is a great small school with big academics and personality. The parent involvement is incredible and the teachers are very engaged. The school promotes personal responsibility, respect for others and academic achievement. I personally love how the big kids help and interact with younger kids.

My daughter is really enjoying Sea Crest. In addition to top notch instruction and a remarkable art program, the community is very loving and inclusive and we've been very excited to be a part of it.

Our daughter started kindergarten at Sea Crest this year, and absolutely loves it, as do we. She's very excited about the academics in school, as well as the special classes, which include Spanish, art, music, drama, technology, and daily PE. The school's curriculum incorporates social and behavioral standards that assist students in becoming responsible and considerate members of the community. The faculty are excellent and the head of school is wonderful. The staff and families are very welcoming. Tuition is also lower than that at comparable schools in SF and on the Peninsula, and financial assistance is available.

Having had experience in the public schools on the Coastside and Seacrest, we can say there is no comparison. Seacrest has great academics, great community involvement, and takes on issues head on to resolve them. Our daughter enjoys the school and particularly loves the music and art programs. The only downside to the school is constant fund raising (which is equivalent to the public schools.)

We love Sea Crest for the incredibly talented and committed teachers and administrative staff. The school has a beautiful campus and strong core academics as well as extra curricular activities. Students here are taught to care for themselves, their peers and the community. It truly feels like a big family at Sea Crest. The principle greets everyone by name each morning. The school also has a strong PTA and encourages parent involvement.
