Parent: Our daughter arrived at Castilleja for 6th grade, and she is now finishing 7th grade -- and she thrived both years! She has developed a diverse group of close friends, and she has loved her teachers. As her parents, we required her to take Mandarin starting in 6th grade (one of the only things we've ever required her to do against her will), and she has absolutely loved her Mandarin teacher and the language as a result. Similarly, she disliked Math going into 6th grade, but now she loves her two math teachers and the subject. Castilleja provides an incredible education beyond traditional education. Casti teaches girls how to learn, how to manage their time, how to self advocate, executive functions, SEL, and how to behave socially. In addition, teachers and administration constantly focus the culture on the school's core values: Courage, Conscience, Courtesy, Charity, and Character. Most importantly, Castilleja's education and culture excels at producing strong women, strong leaders.... Read 67 reviews
