Our daughter is at Stratford School - Morgan Hill. We cannot express enough appreciation to Stratford School - Morgan Hill! The principal and teachers at Stratford School - Morgan Hill create a positive environment to encourage students to excel. As parents, we feel that the teachers at Stratford School - Morgan Hill not only teach knowledge, but also, and perhaps more importantly, EDUCATE students as individuals. They observe our daughter's personality and tailor their education methodology to best suit her characteristics. As a result of such thoughtful care, my daughter grows successfully in all aspects of life, and at the same time, enjoys her Stratford life. We are so thankful that there is a school nicely created and maintained and named "STRATFORD SCHOOL - MORGAN HILL". With best regards,

What a great school! Small class size, lots of personal attention, advanced academics. This is exactly what we were looking for when we decided to go the private route.

We enrolled our son at Stratford in January and have never regretted our decision. He is thriving and loves going to school. His Pre-K teachers are smart, caring and focused. They provide an excellent balance of fun and academics. He is now reading, can count by 5s and 10s, and explores art and music daily. He amazes me every day and he doesn t start Kindergarten until August. The materials and supplies are top notch and the school building is beautiful. I've also noticed that the Pre-K room is less hectic and has less of the usual kid issues (biting, pushing, fighting, etc) than my son's previous school. I recommend this school to all of my friends. Four of my son's prior classmates have also made the switch to Stratford and all are doing wonderfully.

I have two children at Stratford Morgan Hill. They are both thriving and learning so much! The curriculum is advanced but fun for them. They never feel pressured or overworked. They are challenged and so proud of their accomplishments. We also love the full time onsite security. He will literally step in front of a car if he has to to protect your child. He knows each and every student and their parents. Every student at this school seems to benefit from the environment. The campus is filled with pleasant children that all care about each other. It's such a nice learning environment when the children are encouraging of each other! We really love the school, the curriculum, the staff - especially the dedicated, hard working teachers!

We are very happy and satisfied with Stratford School Morgan Hill campus. The teaching staff is exceptional. The teachers and staff are very caring. In addition to having the grade teacher the children have a French teacher, a computer teacher and PE teacher. They also have lunch staff to watch the children during lunch and lunch recess. The teachers and Principals know the children by name and happily greet them every morning. Our child loves to go to school because of the many subjects that are taught and the manner in which the subjects are presented. It is Fun to Learn! They offer field trips which also enrich the students. If you want a school which provides a well rounded education for your child this is the school. They also offer Summer Camp :-)

My daughter started preschool late in the school year. The teachers made efforts to help her fit right in and by the second week, she was telling me that she loved going to school. Even though she arrived mid-curriculum, she picked it right up and in just a couple of months she could tell me, if I said a word, what letter it started with. The curriculum is "advanced" in the sense that they teach above grade level compared to other schools in the area, but it is nothing that the kids aren't ready to absorb and is done in a way that the kids find fun and engaging. My daughter isn't even aware how much she is learning. For example, when they do guided art projects, they frequently learn about and mimic a great artist and work of art. They get an art history lesson with the art in PRESCHOOL!

This is a wonderful school, if you would like your child to learn, grow, and have confidence. My daughter is in Kindergarten, but a lot of people think she is in first or second grade: Since she is so well spoken and confident. I am happy they are in Morgan Hill! They have a commitment to excellence without putting excessesive pressure on the students. They are well rounded too, with intro to music, physical activity, and theatrical performances.

My son is a 1st grade student at the Stratford Morgan Hill campus. The teaching methods are advanced compared to public schools. My son is completing advanced work for his grade. I have witnessed students from other schools learning the same subjects but in a higher grade. Safety is excellent, as there is a on campus security guard at all times.

I have 2 children at Stratford School Morgan Hill. Wow! What a wonderful school. My kids love it. Yes, it has high academic standards BUT they bring lots fun into the classroom. I went to pick up my daughter early one day and when I walked in to the clasroom Abraham Lincoln greeted me! The kids were completely engaged in their history lesson! The administration of a school is also very important. The principal is very welcoming and makes you feel like family. She greets the kids EVERY morning with a warm hug! I would recommend this school.You should check it out.

I have a fifth grader at the Morgan Hill campus. The academic environment is top notch. The individual attention my son receives is amazing. Small class sizes are a plus. My son really likes the computer, French and PE instructors. As a parent, I have never had a more amazing experience with the administration of a school. The communication is great with the principal, she feels like family. During two recent events (earthquake and local robbery), I received an instant call to my cell phone and at home to let me know my child was safe and that I could call if I had any concerns. Safety is never an issue with the onsite security guard. Do I wish the tuition was less, yes, however, I have never once questioned whether I was getting my money's worth
