20 Best Msw Programs In San Francisco, CA (2022 Updated)

I saw The Messiah here on Sunday. Campus is unbelievable and it was wonderful to feel God's presence on a school campus again. The entire production was amazing and I could not have enjoyed it more. It's very worth finding out more about the story of how it was written first, so when you watch it live you'll have a deeper appreciation. Parking is an issue here and make sure you go early when you do. You'll be greeted by a friendly face who can direct you from there. Who could ask for anything more?Kyle Whelehon

A whole lot has changed since I was attending here. The name of the mascot has changed. Also this was called Point Loma Nazarene College. Speaking of changes, one thing that hopefully hasn't changed is the cafeteria food, most college cafeteria food SUCKS…NOT HERE…the food is/was catered by Marriot. What an incredible location to go away to school. The campus as a whole is unbelievable. I didn't attend to long, only have fond memories of this college.Peter Johnson

Parent perspective!…. What a welcoming. Totally personal. Sincere. Heartfelt. You're not just a number here. The campus…clean, safe, many places to study outdoors. The view..are you kidding me?! Makes me want to go back to college. The faith…AUTHENTIC AND INTENTIONAL not just "Christian" in name only. Rigorous academics = challenge, growth, sharpening! Can't help but humbly gratefully brag my daughter is a student.Arnold Argao

Most professors are very kind. The school as reopened for in-person learning. The food and library are open. Staff, students, and visitors will need to fill out a health screen to be on campus. (I'd say take a screenshot to easily show the green check) The construction in the middle of campus is done and the beautiful campus is opened up. There's now some construction towards the back where the "temporary" classrooms where. Stay safe, have fun, and let's go mission!Loni Pacheco

I like the school, and the professors are great. All of the professors I have taken have been kind. However, the staff- Araceli the manager from the mission college bookstore is extremely rude. She lacks customer service skills. She will yell at you in front of the entire store to the point where everyone is staring. I have had two negative encounters with her, and I am a very polite person. I have kept my calm even after being completely humiliated by her.Samantha Cruz

Mission College has one of the most supportive and enthusiastic professors. I enjoy coming in to all of my classes because they engage me into their lesson plans. Not only that but they make sure that all of their students are understanding the assignments and offer alternative support systems for them to succeed in the classroom. Overall, Mission College is doing an incredible job in getting students prepared towards their future goals.Diego Jimenez

When I attended Chico State it was a very good university. It was fair and affordable. I could comfortably speak with other students and Professors and debate about multiple viewpoints. I was born and raised in Chico and I loved the idea of attending and graduating from Chico State. However, I enlisted in the Marine Corps reserve my Sophomore year. I had to drop my classes last minute in the middle of the semester in order to attend Marine Corps boot camp. I leave for about 3- 6 months in total to complete my training. When I return I come to find out that the administration did not drop my classes correctly and they had failed me about 18 units I had at the time. When I attempted to dispute them that they had to erase my semester and reinstate me because of the the Federal Law that protects me as a service member under USERRA act of 1994. The school and the Veteran's Affairs failed to reinstate me and refund me my money or let me take my classes again. They violated my rights as a service member activated under title 10 active duty orders. I continued to attend Chico to finish my degree but as I took more and more classes the Professors leaned to be biased to the "Left" as some say it which I do not mind but the school turned from an education system to a system were people were babied and Professors lectured Socialist propaganda. I have since dropped out and I am attending another university that is better accredited and is fair. I suggest to other Veterans to NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL! CSU, Chico claims to be veteran friendly but they are not and only want your GI bill benefits and tax cuts. They do not care about veterans or anything related to veterans.Adrian B

This school really bent over backwards to make sure I got everything I wanted out of my education. An on-staff internship coordinator; professors that are committed to helping pave the way to your decided career; services for scholarships, study abroad programs, and career development; plus plenty of programs from honors societies to fraternities to help you get what you want out of your time in school. At what other school could I have coauthored a published research paper with a professor in my bachelor's? The only shortfalls of this school are related to academic rigor–some of the teachers are either long past caring about their subject and should have retired or aren't particularly qualified to teach their subject. This also reflects on the students–there is a slim alumni network and many of your peers may be unmotivated, without a plan, or fail to show sufficient skill or knowledge by graduation. The school has made strides to crack down on the party atmosphere, which I resented my freshman year but was grateful for by my senior. It is also working hard to attract more and better faculty. These efforts seem to be really helping it improve it's reputation, attracting better faculty and students alike.William Walker

I have attended this fine school three separate times, earning a teaching credential and communication design / computers experience. Most of my professors were great, seeming happy to be at work. How could they not be, living in beautiful Chico, Ca? The campus is beautiful, with a year-round creek running through the middle of its park-like setting. The town and the school are friendly as well, with lots of art and music culture.Dave (AffectionateScar)

I'm a male, late 20's student at USF, and this has been my experience: 1) Rigorous – Having had a decent amount of life experience before coming here, I expected it to be easy. I was wrong. As someone who has always been good at math, the math classes were all challenging and required a lot of time and effort to do well in. The same goes for their science classes. I had attended another, easier university before coming here, and the difference was huge. 2) Political/Religious – Being a catholic university in the middle of a very liberal city, there is a good chance that someone will at some point try to shove religion or liberal politics down your throat, with a higher probability of the latter. As someone who doesn't care for politics, I'd prefer if they were left out of the classroom. 3) Small class sizes – All but one of my classes have been under 30 people, with many being less than 20. There are personal, 1-on-1 classes for music lessons in guitar, piano, vocals, etc. There are ample staff to handle any problem and any and all issues I've had were solved quickly. Compare this to a state school with class sizes in the 100's and there is really no comparison. 4) Expensive – With an annual price tag of about 50k, plus the astronomically high San Francisco cost of living, it is incredibly expensive to go to school here. I came here largely because I had a full-ride scholarship, and would have seriously considered other options if I didn't. 5) Amenities – There are several large libraries, excellent quiet study areas, private music rooms with instruments, and the campus itself is quite beautiful. With the tuition comes a free public transit card and gym access, at a very nice gym. 6) Overall quality – The quality of the school overall is very high. I can't say how it compares to the likes of top schools like Stanford, but many of USF's professors have come from those big name schools. The combination of talented, intelligent professors and personal 1-on-1 attention make it a great place to learn and study.Tyler D

I transferred out of the University of San Francisco real quick. The school is expensive, the education is ok but the material is too easy, and the social life is garbage unless you're undoubtedly liberal. The professors were very nice and helpful, but anyone from the administration building is out to get you, ultimately this place is just a big money pit. They'll find a way to fine you and take your money even if you haven't done anything wrong.Alex Douthat

Beautiful campus in the heart of the city but otherwise, a school filled with professors that don’t really care, poor accommodations for students with disabilities, extremely expensive, campus police focuses more on giving you parking tickets and people’s conduct rather than ensuring vehicles are not broken into. Did I mention is extremely expensive and they will not accommodate you well if you need to take time off for medical/family issues.Jake Bilyak

I used to crash classes here and love that a school like this exists and I am very happy that many pioneers in various fields are finding a more public voice here. I was recently interested in obtaining a masters and encouraged to apply late (Pauline Reif) with the promise that I would be seen for that semesters admission. After submitting and paying non refundable application fees I was told I was late (which I had clearly known!) and none of my subsequent emails have been responded to. For a school focused on cutting edge psych and interpersonal dynamics, my experience with admissions was a FAR cry from what I hoped they stood for. I really hope they button up their program, modern and non-mainstream schooling is important, and I find that system wide integrity is even more crucial amongst those who walk on the outskirts.Mike D

I had a very mixed experience with this school. It was well worth the effort, but the school was not supportive when they needed to be which was ironic since many of the programs are focused on learning how to provide holistic psychotherapy. I would think an organization that focused on that subject would be filled with people capable of providing great support. Rather I found, after a few years, that it is very disorganized and in some serious need of an administrative overhaul.Marni Sweetland

Cutting edge graduate institution & doctoral program in the field of integral studies, psychodynamic psychotherapy & multidisciplinary consciousness studies. 🏦 Expanding the study of the psyche to include the transpersonal domain is a radically important undertaking for us at this time.⛲ The California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) is at the vanguard of the transpersonal movement and a leader in the field of holistic studies.🕉Chris Hutnik

I've obtained my master's and in the final stages of completing my doctorate at Saybrook in the Mind Body Medicine program (now called Integrative health science, I believe). Attending this school has been a game changer for me personally and professionally. The caliber of people who attend the school are incredible and it opens ones professional networks and capacities for creative work. The school is well organized. The hybrid model of education, which entails residential academic retreats and online working and collaboration is in sync with the changing world of education. Education is a personal choice and if Saybrook's educational offerings are what you are interested in, I would highly recommend considering this school.Kari Allen-Hammer

I have been a Masteral Student in this school for the last 3 semesters and I totally love the experience. The faculty members are excellent, and the best and most respected in their field. Classmates are wonderful, scholarly, intelligent and hard working. Administration answers all queries within 24-48 hours. This school has changed my life for the better. I have just finished all my Masters degree requirements and I plan to continue in this school for my PhD.Robin Velasco

Edit: Over $100k for their Psychology PhD program… and not even APA accredited. I know APA is not required in some states but I I know of other non APA PhD programs that are literally half the cost of Saybrook’s. I like that they’re non profit, regionally accredited & offer some interesting programs but they are pretty expensive… you can get a Harvard masters degree for less than their masters programs..Josh Esc

This December, it will be two years since I ended up at UCSF PARNASSUS after waking at 3am feeling like I was dying, vomiting copious amounts of blood. The team of doctors who had my case were amazing! They didn’t think I’d make it the first two days. I didn’t want to live. I kept trying to write, “lLet me die!@ but was so weak they couldn’t even read my writing. I tried so hard to write but couldn’t get my hands to do what my brain was saying and I was intubated. I spent two months there before I was transferred to a transitional care facility. I cried when I left. I’d made friends with the nurses and didn’t want to leave them. My feet and lower calves were so swollen, I couldn’t stand, let alone walk. I am still in the nursing home and still can’t stand or walk but, that’s a whole different story! Today, I am like a new person. I want to live! I want to get out of this wheelchair and I desperately want to get back with my sweet Siamese, the love of my life. I have worked so hard and each day I’m closer to leaving. I’ve lost so much weight, I’m so much stronger and started PT again last week. The food at UCSF is varied and you have a menu to choose from! I can’t say enough wonderful things about UCSF. They are well run, organized, and compassionate. Their health care workers are astounding! I wish I could thank each and everyone of them in person!Nancy Holohan

Great for medical care, and you'll need it. Because their billing system is unable to get things straight. This means you'll get massive bills that should have gone to your insurance company. Of course, UCSF billing won't have taken the time to actually talk to your insurance company to understand what was filed incorrectly — they'll just bill you directly. Next you'll spend hours on the phone having stressful discussions about why you're getting a massive bill and why they haven't had an actual human conversation with your insurance company to sort out the error — even after you've talked to your insurance company and then also to UCSF to indicate the billing was done incorrectly. Will they ever talk? Who knows! Then UCSF says they'll call your insurance company, but they won't. They also won't call you back when they say they will. It's a fun surprise and you'll enjoy the theme park like excitement, except this is life and death of your finances. All this will lead to higher blood pressure, so you'll need more medical care, which is also great for UCSF — it's a good thing you've found a fantastic hospital. The cycle repeats indefinitely and will spiral out of control until you die. Their problematic billing issues have happened to us multiple times, and it's sure to happen to you, too. Good luck, have fun, and die early!David Diez

I truly hope this review reaches the correct person/people. Currently, if a patient at UCSF passes away, their MyChart account is instantly rendered inaccessible. A patient’s MyChart account holds almost if not all of a patient’s medical history/information and is extremely useful for patients and relatives of patients. For example, if a parent’s child passes away, the parent no longer has access to their child’s MyChart account whatsoever. This puts even more strain on the parent/family member to get information they want and or need from the MyChart account. I understand that this is most likely due to HIPPA laws/legal reasons, but I feel that parents and family members would somewhat appreciate being able to access their loved one’s account for at least one month prior to it becoming inaccessible especially if the parent/relative has established proxy access to the account. This would give the parent/relative enough time to gather the information they need from the account before it is closed. Again, i hope this will reach the right person so that maybe some kind of arrangement could be made to change this. Thank you.anonymous person

TLDR: If you are in a relationship sign up for the virtual couples workshop. You will learn tools to take your life and relationships to their full potential in the comfort of home. I am grateful to have found the Couples Center's virtual workshop. It far exceeded my and my partner's expectations by a long shot. It not only took our relationship to a new level but lifted a weight from my shoulders. A close friend and her husband had gone through a similar type of pre-marital workshop before their wedding years ago. I remember her saying she would recommend the workshop even if we are not getting married yet. That recommendation was always in the back of my mind. Talking more about marriage, I searched online for a couples workshop and came across the Couples Center. The website looked professional and the messages resonated with me. I loved the point about getting your relationship to reach its full potential. The site also said the best time to do therapy is before you have problems, and they were right. I was sold after reading the course details, but the trick was to sell the idea to my partner. He is always skeptical and didn't have any experience with therapy. He knew I wanted to sign up and was open to it once he read the yelp reviews. The only thing that was missing on the yelp comments was how the course was online. We were in for a treat. For us having this session online was even better than it could have been in person. Being in the comfort of our own home on the couch made the whole experience more relaxing. Trying out therapy in our own space allowed my partner to be more open to the process quicker than if we were in person. I am still surprised how open and vulnerable the couples were to a virtual room of people they just met. Gal and Liron have created a comprehensive session with valuable tools we reference regularly. The session ran smoothly, and they provided clear guidance. The main zoom room had couples and therapists. At first, I wasn't sure how that would work, but with break-out rooms, we would be paired 1:1 with an assistant to work with us on an exercise discussed in the main room. Making the process more intimate and allowing us to receive extra attention. The concepts are rooted in psychological studies, and the visual diagrams and exercises enable learning the methods easily. The weekend was full of life-changing epiphanies and support discussing hard topics. We never thought that we fought because we don't have yelling matches we associate arguing with. Instead, we discovered that like all couples we have negative cycles. By uncovering our patterns we were able to successfully get out of them in a positive way. We uncovered our deeper needs and how better to communicate and give each other what we need. I have never felt as close to my partner, and the feeling continues to grow long after the course. The Couples Center is a gem due to the passion behind it. Gal and Liron are some of the most passionate people I have met. Their life mission is to truly help others, and they are doing it daily. They have a beautiful story of their relationship and its ups and downs that helped us connect and relate to them. They masterfully distill psychological concepts into a workbook that is easy to understand. We left every lesson and exercise with some revelation of ourselves or each other. We are now able to look in on our own needs and filters of the other's actions to better communicate what we want and how to give what is needed. We left the workshop on cloud 9. It was wonderfully intense and I do recommend taking a day after to let everything sink in and relax together. We left together on a whole new level and are thrilled Gal and Liron are working on a new workshop around understanding our templates.The more we learn about ourselves the better we can be there for our partner and strengthen our relationship. We feel amazing, and I can't believe it can get even better! Thank you, Gal, and Liron for building something wonderful and life-changing.Sarah Buczek

After searching online for the best couples therapy, I landed on The Couples Center and felt encouraged by the positive reviews, especially around their weekend workshop, “Love Made Simple.” On top of all the 5-star reviews, I got a taste of the amazing (free) content they share for couples to leverage, especially during this tricky time when we're all quarantined together 24-7. I decided to pull the trigger and knew we were in good hands as soon as the virtual workshop started. Liron and Gal are extremely warm and authentic – you can really tell how much effort they've put into the workshop. They guided us through multiple topics, such as exploring our connection and identifying our blueprint for conflict. While there’s no magic bullet for a successful relationship, I felt that I came away from the workshop with better fundamentals that I want to continue building on. It was worth every penny and I'm grateful to Liron and Gal for spending their weekend with us! I also loved the group format because when people share, you realize you're not alone and other couples are experiencing similar things. You're never forced to share though – they wouldn't call you out if you don't feel comfortable sharing. Logistics: It's a 3-day online workshop due to SIP – 3 hours on Friday evening and 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday with plenty of breaks in between. It was held on Zoom with breakout rooms used for private exercises with assistants/Gal/Liron to help guide you through your thoughts and emotions. This was incredibly helpful and one of my favorite parts of the workshop. I thought that the virtual format worked really well here because it was so private. I'd recommend The Couples Therapy for any couple looking to learn the right strategies for having a happy relationship!Jackie Yang

The Love Made Simple workshop is a great couples course that provides you with tools to use in your relationship to get through common arguments and conflict patterns, and also teaches you how to recognize your own and your partner's style of connection and the importance of this. I had planned to attend the pre-marital portion of the workshop, however switched last minute to go further into deepening communication with my partner. If doing both was an option, I think the pre-marital portion would have also been very interesting based on the exercises I saw in our workbook! The workshop was a combination of short lectures, exercises and Q&A. This was a great format to practice in real time with our partner what we were learning about being able to fight less, recognize our deeper patterns of being triggered and the importance of connection. Gal, Liron and all of the assistant therapists were very helpful and providing support throughout the workshop, which made the exercises even more valuable and allowed us to see things from a different perspective. This is a workshop that I have already recommended to friends and will continue to do so. Whether you have been married for years or are looking to start a future together and want to deepen your connection and understanding with your partner, this workshop is completely worth your time and money!Virpal Sidhu

Like a little low-budget extra-heart Exploratorium built into the side of Mission High – one big room crammed full of experiments and demonstrations of basic principles. Bunches of live and preserved critters from various areas of the food web at one end, through electricity and electromagnetism, to optics and light, to make-an-instrument-out-of-anything acoustics, woodworking and craft, etc. Their periodic "family day" open houses are a good way to check the place out, though the real work of MSW is done through schools, summer and afterschool programs.Devin Carraway

Great place to learn a little science! You can come in and work on robotics wood shop and with the fossil expert who will give you a fossil where you can dig it up and take it home! Please support this free group of wonderful people by donating money so they can keep the shop open FREE to the public!Diverp

Excellent learning opportunities for students and families! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! They have live animals and hundreds of exciting tools to tinker with! An excellent play for a class field trip or Saturday outing for the family!Kelsey Magaña

This place is great for the kids to learn about all kinds of science topics. During my visit we cracked real geodes, met and held some reptiles and other small animals and we worked on some other fun engaging activity and learned some basic science which was fun and easy for the kids to understand. This is also a great place to actually stay with your child and have fun together!C C

These humans' genuine enthusiasm for science is infectious, informative, and inspiring. My students were so stoked to learn about renewable energy, EVs, and energy storage here. Lots of fun lil physics demos to explore as well 🙂Graham Woolley

Legit. There is a concept or term called jugaad (Indian) and MSW makes me think of that term and the transformation they are making by inspiring the younger generations to think and approach scienceLuc א

Pitt's School of Social work and associated faculty and staff work very hard to ensure the success of their students. The education is comprehensive and highly skill/practically based. Upon graduation, students should definitely be able to practice very competently in direct practice or at a systems level. Most of the faculty are excellent instructors with very relevant practical experience. The main cons are the amount of disorganization within the department and that a few instructors (a minority) aren't great at teaching.Alysse Littleberry

If you need to get your child evaluated here, go during regular office hours if you can. My child was traumatized by a night shift evaluator who attempted to keep her overnight using manipulative and coercive messaging over a 2 hour period. I, the mother, was forced to endure stalling tactics while I waited for the customized "safety plan" we were promised. We arrived at 6pm for an evaluation and I was told the process, including the safety plan would take 2-3 hours. At 10pm the evaluator told me she needed to discuss things with her supervisor and then we would go over the safety plan. At 11pm, I was offered 3 choices, all of which involved my daughter staying overnight. I told the evaluator that I had promised my daughter that, if she answered their questions truthfully, we would go home right after the evaluation. Around midnight, I was offered the same 3 choices, none of which included taking her home. They had no legal basis to hold her so the evaluator tried to convince me to leave my daughter for various reasons: because she was asleep, because I could have a break, because my daughter could have a break, etc. Let me say, right here, that she and I didn't need a break from each other. We were referred to Edgewood because, after years of relentless bullying, that my daughter's elementary school had been unable to curtail, my daughter took things into her own hands and had written a note that said she was "sick and tired of being bullied and wanted to die". The evaluator, unfortunately, had lost focus on the issues and determined that releasing Artemis was against medical advice. She was hell bent on keeping my daughter overnight. For what purpose? What possible benefit would be served? My daughter didn't want to stay overnight and I wasn't convinced staying overnight would satisfy the evaluator's power trip. How going home in the morning would make any difference to the bullying problem is anyone's guess since it is nonsensical. I believe the evaluator forgot that constant bullying was what brought us to Edgewood. Instead, the focus had turned on me as evidenced by passive aggressive insults and backhanded remarks apropos of nothing. Our exit was unnecessarily dramatic with guards blocking me from entering the room where they were keeping my daughter. When she heard my voice, she ran to me barefoot. She turned to get her shoes but i stopped her saying, "don'tworry about the shoes. We need to leave. If you go back in that room they might not let you out." I was frightened. Cuckoo's Nest, Francis Farmer, and other asylum horror scenarios filled my head. We made it out of there without the promised safety plan. Anither staff member suggestwd that we would have had a positive experience with diffetent staff during regular hours. This staff member actually said "I would not disagree" in response to my complaning, outloud, to no one in particular that "this was outrageous and unnecessarily dramatic. That my daughter deserved better." Today I spoke with a very confused social worker at CPS. I let her know that I was in the process of taking the actions I was led to believe would be included in the safety plan Edgewood had promised to provide. In addition, I am contemplating and consulting with experts about how best to undo the damage done to my daughter by Edgewood. I believe my daughter's suicide note is the result of the adults, who claim to be there for her and claim to have her interests at heart, utterly failing, over many years, to protect her from the ceaseless bullying and punish the bullies.Lexie Tillotson

Edgewood was a TRULY DAMAGING experience for me. Most of the staff members are on their early to late twenties and still in college and unexperienced. They don't know how to be tender and sweet to kids that are struggling with depression! much less eating problems. I saw them refuse an extra snack to a boy because it was "past dinner time". That kid was as hungry as i was ! and I struggle with eating food ! ! I ate a piece of toast and mushy , brown , gross pieces of bananas and apple (The ones you buy at really cheap grocery stores ) I was there for two days and a half . I had multiple panic attacks and long crying spells before being able to have my grandma pick me up and get me some food! WORST person is one of the staff members called Ileen. It's a shame that she's in a higher position with no apparent experience or at least compassion. She is passive agressive! This woman does not care about anyone except her paycheck . When I was crying my eyes out and could barely ask her for help she told me to go to bed (?) Not to mention when I was on my period i waited a really really long time in their door waiting to get ONE kotex pad. I had to tell her " Hello I'm over here bleeding". So she could give me some necessary hygiene items. Your deodorant and soap get locked in a closet too. What if I'm on my period really late at night and don't want to share it with you? So unprofessional. Is it that hard to leave some lady items available? As far as I'm concerned no lady hurt herlsef with a tampon before. Ireene needs to get fired! She wouldn't let me contact my parents for help . She wouldn't let me make the phone calls I needed. Till I really couldn't hold it together and went on full on CRISIS. I couldn't stop crying on their floor. "Oh would you consider another program" No! Edgewood is not a place for kids to get better it's more like a dog shelter. Your kids spent the day playing monopoly and crying themselves to sleep at night and eating over ripe bananas . Sometimes go out and sit in the grass. But with someone sitting really close to you and asking way too many personal questions that you may not want to discuss with a complete stranger. They act like they know you. They said my grandma wasn't allowed to pick me up because she wasnt my legal guardian when she has been my care giver for the last four years. They thought I was lying till my grandma showed up with facts! Now i'm home with a cold , cough and broken heart. Thought it would be a good fit but after living through it I can say that Edgewood is nothing but keeping kids on a cottage for months so they can get money from the government and pay their college tuition. NO STARS THIS PLACE IS DUSTY AND FULL OF LIES . my hearts broken , no starsHazel Pjanic

If I could give Edgewood negative stars, I would. Edgewood damaged me more than I can put into words. The staff were demeaning and horrible. They didn't help me at all and the "therapy" was a JOKE. The kids were constantly getting put into restraints and the staff didn't do anything to stop it. The staff didn't care about any of the kids. I had a bad attachment to one of the staff named Abby and they didn't let me talk to her because of it but didn't tell me that so i just thought she was ignoring me which made it even worse. I became worse and worse everyday. I was there three times because each time i would get out and do worse than when I got there originally. The second and third time I got kicked out because it was so awful. The vibe at Edgewood was so depressing and just dark and you couldn't help but feel awful being there. When I got kicked out the second time I was there, I went into psychosis because Edgewood had damaged me so much. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! IT IS HORRIBLE. If they are bad enough to have you send them here they need to actually go to real treatment. Look into New Haven or Viewpoint in Utah. I finally got sent there and they were a god send. I worked on the damage Edgewood caused me but I still have nightmares and flashbacks to my time at Edgewood. It should be shut down before more of this kind of thing happens to other kids.Lindsey Fredericks

My wife and I enrolled our 3-year-old in LePort's program before the school had even opened. It was clear from the very first meeting of LePort staff that this school was different than the others we had seen. There was a professionalism and customer-care orientation which you expect from any well run business, but there was also a genuine passion for children and education that you typically only find with small owner-run schools. It's the combination of the two that won us over. It's been 6 months now since our son has been part of the LePort program and it has exceeded our expectations. Part of this was the value of the Montessori curriculum–I was somewhat familiar with Montessori prior to our enrollment, but now that I have come to fully understand what makes this educational approach so unique, I cannot imagine anything else for my child. But the other part of what has made the program so exceptional is everything LePort brings to it. Our son's teacher (Zoe), the head of school (Erin), the front office staff–everyone I've ever dealt with has given 100% and cared deeply about whatever I was discussing at the time. This school is filled with people who have a passion for education. I cannot imagine my son at any other school. Oh, and the facilities as well are top notch. It's a beautiful school. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there have been issues. The school opened late because of construction delays, there have been some small enrollment mixups, there were some drop-off logistics issues early on, and a host of small things I've had to bring up to staff. But every single time something has come up, the issues are taken seriously and everyone goes above and beyond to make things right. That's what makes this school so special.Keith Schacht

Love, passion, talent and care are the words that we would use to describe LePort. Our child has been attending LePort since their opening and they continue to amaze us on an ongoing basis. LePort has become a family now; there is nothing that we would say oh maybe they could do it this way, there couldn't be a better group of people who understands children's development better than these beautiful teachers at LePort. If you are looking for a wonderful environment for your child to be part of, stop looking and call LePort. Once you have the opportunity to speak with Ms. Domingo or Ms. Little, you would know what we are talking about.

We love Mission Montessori! My daughter is now 3 years old and has attended the Toddler class since she was 18 months old. Her lead teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth, is so kind and it is clear how much she loves her students. The administration staff is also great and very quick to respond with any questions and concerns. The school is small but nice, and has an indoor and outdoor playground which allows the kids to get out energy regardless of the weather. We couldn't have asked for a better first school for our daughter.Riana ElNaggar

I love this place, met a couple of people. Picked up the necessary pamphlets, chips, and schedules. Friendly folk. Thank you.Marcello C-B

I graduated here in 2011. Now 11 years later I still have mixed feelings. You should go to this school only if you absolutely must stay in Sacramento. If you’re recruited from another country for a sport, please note that Sacramento is the capitol of California but it’s 8 hours driving from Hollywood and nothing like the movies. Many of my tennis teammates came from Eastern Europe and said they had no clue, they thought they were coming to do college at the beach and hang out with celebrities. Pros +: Air Force ROTC Program Women’s D1 Tennis Very pretty campus in Fall People were genuinely nice The saaaandwich and soda man Acceptance rate was very high then Gave me the degree and future I needed Cons -: Was very much commuter school Most friends you make here won’t go very far Dating was limited (for straight women) most boys I met were just players that lied No one outside of NorCal has heard of CSUS Parking was an issue Full time in state tuition for Spring 2008 was $1863. My last semester in Spring 2011 was $2500 for part time. Can’t imagine what it is now. Professors who write their own notes/book then sell it for their course for $200+ Some of the courses I had to take were not very useful I didn’t feel safe after or before dark on campus and nearby apartment parking lots that friends lived in. I used to run in the dark to/from my car.April B

One of the many, proud students who used to go to Sac State; graduated in the fall of 2019 (and luckily before Covid-19 told everyone to screw off). I was trying to get into Graphic Design but I had no money. So I opted instead for a BA in Studio Art Methods (New Media Focus). I was taking Multicultural Studies on the side. Everything is expensive, some of the faculty have personality issues, the few Alt-Right people kept "yelling theater in a crowded fire house;" the school's transit system doesn't go far enough, and some of the buildings had issues with rain water coming through the roofs. But I have no regrets. The area's beautiful, we're able to get help with food and studies, the learning of other cultures was "colorful" in a positive way, and most of the faculty are pretty awesome. It's not UC Davis, but I highly recommend taking your chances here.Hectotane

I went here on my Field Trip in my Sophomore year and I got to say I was speechless. I was amazed by the structure of the buildings, there was bunch of scholars/students of this University and it was so big that I didn't know what kind of reaction I made. It was fun walking around and seeing so many people. It feel kind of weird because I don't like to see so many people in one place. The cafeteria is pretty small. It crowded most of the time because I can't believe they even have fast food restaurants inside a cafeteria and also Starbucks. It feel like I can reach the top of the ceiling over my head if I was tall enough and be able to touch it. I enjoyed it and it was fantastic to experience a University college.Cheesy 24
