“I love Albert Einstein Academy. It is filled with teachers who really care and make a difference in our children's lives. My children have been at the school for the past 5 years and they love it. The possibility of having dual German language immersion and also being in an IB school is just a fabulous opportunity for my children. They are socially and academically well balanced. I'm proud and relieved that my children can express their international heritage and be global citizens, which is also very much encouraged and supported at Albert Einstein Academies. Despite all the awesome programs offered, the icing on the cake for me is the expanding PE program. That is simply wonderful that the children are introduced to sports and fitness at a young age which is a vital element in staying balanced. Thanks Albert Einstein Academies and keep up the good work!”

“Every time I'm on campus, I feel the difference at the school. The atmosphere is filled with this love of learning about and preserving our planet, while the students remain stedfast on their work and education. They truly are professional students, ok, sometimes they revert back to being kids on a playground, but overall they are great kids who make an effort to improve their generation's possibilities! And it all begins with e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n!! The next time you're with your kids please don't forget to let them know how very important they are to you!! That is really the only way to grow love!”

“Albert Einstein Academy Charter School is one of only two school in the country that offers the IB Certified language immersion program in German. Not only are they an accomplished organization that provides a higher level of education, they are also accessible by all students in the San Diego School District. Because they are a charter school, it allows student of all level and backgrounds access to attend. This is great because this higher level of education is not limited to a students financial status or social status. The school has an active exchange program and intership program that brings in German intern teachers from Germany to spend a semester or school year working at the school teaching the German and tutoring students in German as well. Most of the German Teachers are natives of Germany. The students have also been actively learning Spanish. The school promotes good morals and respect among students and has a well established structure of conflict resolution. By having a strict uniform policy, they allow student to focus on education and not what the latest styles are. Despite the demanding curriculum, AEACS students rank among the top students in the state level testing. With the decline in education funding, I really appreciate AEACS and how they encourage parents and students to get involved with the structure of the programs and activities in the school. For any parent who wants their child to be challenged and get a head start on learning about different cultures and languages, it is a great school for their 'Little Einstein' to attend.”

“Albert Einstein Academy School is like a private school. We have the most dedicated and involved parents and staff of any school that I have been involved with. I have watched as the school has evolved and grown and during that time there have been some difficult and sometimes course changing decisions that have to be made. They have always made the right choices even when it involved a harder path. There is a culture of caring and understanding in this school that comes from the top and carries through the staff to the students. I cannot recommend this school highly enough.”

“Albert Einstein Academy was an answer to a prayer for us. Our neighborhood had the very wost school in all of San Diego, and we actually had considered moving out of our beautiful historic neighborhood because of this. Thankfully, Albert Einstein moved into a facility just 6 blocks from our home the very year our daughter started kindergarten! Just before that point, we had been planning to drive all the way across town to bring our child to a Spanish emersion school. Einstein is a German emersion school, so now our children (two now), learn German. We are thrilled that our kids are learning a second language and being exposed to other cutures, and we could not be happier with and prouder of our school. Our kids learn so much, and so do we! All of the families are extremely involved with the school and participate in most of the activities. It's a pleasure to help out on campus, because we know it's the least we can do to support the excellent education our children are getting FOR FREE!: )”

The students get to go on great field trips (such as to the zoo, the theatre, Balboa Park, etc.) Which enhances their learning on a particular subject.

“It's simply one of a kind in San Diego with its global IB curriculum and dual german language immersion across subjects by native teachers to its music, arts, award winning physical fitness programs, after school programs, int'l. gardens, unparalleled field trips like to the symphony, or the best bakery and to Germany in middle school to monthly Parent University. Planning and experience shows as everything is so well thought out. It's quality in every aspect. There are so many areas to be involved improving where it doesn't seem the bar can get any higher making all the difference. Through the curriculum, programs, staff and volunteers, this school shows that all the best and more is possible for all.”

The great divversity that the school has (more than 14 languages spoken, people from everywhere in the world) being bilingual is just a common thing, a lot of our kids speak three languages and in some cases 4. All that without saying that our teachers are 110% committed to their job and go the extra mile to help the children excell. I drive 14 miles each way every day twice a day and some times 4 times but it is worth it!”

“The teachers are caring and dedicated! In addition to teaching reading, writing and arithmetic, they also teach our children about the world, other cultures, music and art, and how to be caring, compassionate, involved, respectful and responsible human beings. The dual language immersion component is fantastic. Yes, it is definitely challenging. However, it is not for everyone: If you don't want your child to be immersed in another language then this is not the school for you. I think some of the negative comments come from people who find that the language immersion is not a good fit for their kids. And yes, like any school there is some bureaucracy, but there is always the opportunity for parents to be inovled and effect change and improvements!!”

The principals and teachers never tire to find ways to improve the curriculum. The entire family is being addressed in the effort to provide the best education for the children. Despite the current budget cuts, the academy's administration still manages to provide a great variety of art, music, and sports. I am very confident, that I made the right choice when I registered my child at AEACS. Kudos to all that work there!”

“My son just started Kindergarten at AEA this Fall. Having spent time in Germany, I am excited that he will continue to learn German. I look forward to him learning Spanish as well when he is older. I have been already impressed with the friendliness, openness, diversity and professionalism of the teachers and students! It amazes me that in this era of school budget cuts, the school works hard to provide 'extras' such as P.E., music, art and time in the library.”

“Einstein Academies celebrate and embrace diversity. They teach the children how to love to learn and how to learn in a more comprhensive way than any other program I have seen. The children are challenged to be responsible for their place in the world on every level. They end up having a very strong understanding of their place within their family units, school, communities, cities, country, and world. They learn to identify problems and proactively seek solutions. No doubt that these students will be the most capable leaders of our future.”

We also have the highest parent voulunter participation in the county. There are so many things to exhalt about this school and the most important is how happy my daughter is to wake up every morning and go to school.

“While still better than 90% of public schools outside the money districts up north AEACS has slipped since its move downtown. The posts you read here about the governance are likely the work of the the rigid Haus-Frau army that has co-opted the spirit of this enterprise from the beginning. AEACS has continually lowered its standard and expectations in order to make compromises with the school board to continue growing at an unhealthy pace. The school has always had a problem with the practical difficulty of the many children who learn native German at home and yet are judged against their non-native speaking peers during grading. Is it a good school ? Yes. Does it have an administration that is willing to sacrifice what makes it special for expediency? You bet. Does it have an overbearing set of parents with an undeserved sense of ownership? Boy howdy!”

The Principals' doors are always open and issues are raised very timely to the Governance Council, which is made up of parents and teachers...and resolutions are efficient and effective. Much more so than you'll ever find in another public school! I think for those that want to be very involved with their child's education and want access and direct input into how the school is run, AEA is for them. Others need not apply!”

“My daughter attends Einstein Academy (elementary). I couldn't be happier with my daughter's teachers. There is both art and music (I don't understand the other poster who said there wasn't)... My daughter participates in art classes, both before and after school, in the school's 'Art Studio.' My home is filled with her creations. She has also learned the recorder and how to read music. As for a PE program, Einstein Academy is one of the few elementary schools I looked at that had a dedicated PE teacher, and my daughter loves his classes. It is true that parent donations are often asked - of money, matierials, & time. This may seem like too much for a parent coming from a traditional public school. As a charter school, though, Einstein Academy doesn't receive the same amount of funding and - in order to offer the great programs they do, needs parent support.”

Parents are encouraged to volunteer and donate money, but they are ultimately ignored if there is a problem.

“My children have attended this school for the past 4 years. They have become passionate learners, often coming home exited, wanting to repeat a science experiment, or permission to participate in the Math-a-thon. Their German language skills are near-native, and particularly my daughter loves to learn Spanish and wants to expand her studies of Spanish during the middle-school years. Our school is very much enriched by the active role that parents play, both in the governance of the school and enriching the school's instruction. Our school asks that the parents please volunteer 5 hours per month, to be part of the community of learning and to help with the costs involved in being a charter school and an International Baccalaureate candidate school. There is music instruction in the classroom, an artist-in-residence program from the local museum, regular PE instruction as well as a wide array of after-school enrichment clubs. The accademic program is excellent!”
