Our Saviors Lutheran School

OSLS is a wonderful environment for students and parents for all of the reasons mentioned by the other reviewers and then some. The small class sizes and personal attention have really benefited my kids, and there truly is a sense of family on campus. Parents play a major role and we get very familiar with one another's kids. Students love the weekly chapel assemblies and extracurricular activities. No one is going to mistake the campus for the Ritz-Carlton, but it is more than adequate and very secure. This is the place in San Clemente for a high quality private educational environment and the tuition is a great value.

This is hands down the best school experience my children have ever had. Small class sizes, great teachers, sense of community, fostering good values and ethics.

Our Savior's is an excellent, small private school and a great value compared to other private schools in the area. The principal knows all the children and is very involved. Parent involvement is required which benefits the school tremendously. The teachers are high quality and very caring. The school has strict rules for safety and discipline and the children are positively rewarded for various 'virtues'. Academics are superb and challenging for advanced students with wonderful 'extras' including music (instruments for 3rd - 5th graders), computer lab, Spanish, PE, fantastic field trips and holiday programs. The children have regular opportunities to speak at the daily opening ceremonies and weekly chapel assemblies so become very comfortable doing so.

I can not say enough great comments about this school and its caring environment. My oldest student has now moved on to middle school and was given the academic tools to be a top achiever. The family involvement required has built lifelong friends across the families, and our kids love coming back for youth group. The kids have moved on together in Scouting and as well as in music. For such a small school, I am always surprised to see Our Saviors families at all different sporting events. This is not a place to drop your kid off; it s a place to grow as a family and a community. I believe our teachers teach here because of the commitment that the family makes to academic achievement. And that church's youth group is fabulous from the foundation that the school has provided.

This is the best value in South Orange County. The one on one interaction between the teacher, child, parent and the principal can not be beat. Very high academic programs, SAT scores for the school are in the high 80's. Additionally it is a blue ribbon school, a very hard achievement for a small private school like OSLS. Full music program which includes the introduction of instruments in 3rd grade. Violin in 4th grade and clarinet in 5th. Good group of parents that are involved in the school. Wonderful caring teachers and a very kind environment. My child has moved on to 6th grade and I can not tell you how much I miss the understanding, kind and Christian environment of this school.

OSLS has been a great experience for the past five years. The environment is positive and loving and parents can feel a real sense of community because the school is small. The teachers have all been exceptional, and the curriculum keeps expanding. The past three years have brought to us a new computer class, a musical instrument program as well as a Spanish class. The Pastor of the church and school is a wonderful man who truely connects with the kids. For the money, location, and spiritual growth factor, OSLS is worth a look for those who want a Christian school. The school is in a quiet and safe neighborhood and the classes are small so the kids get the extra attention they deserve.
