My school is LAMB-O Academy. Principal Augusta and Teacher Ada are so patient and passion. They help my kid a lot. I like this school, and hope you will like it, too. My kid who is 11-year-old can explain his thought about his project more specifically than he did in public schools. I know he makes a big progress on his speech and writing because LAMB-O is small class, and the teachers can spend more time and effort on each kid. The teachers also familiar on curriculum which they taught.

After years of searching for Educators for my special needs son, I finally met Dr.Augusta at LAMB-O Academy in summer 2008. Dr. Augusta & her daughter Teacher Ada (who earns a Bachelor's degree in Child & Adolescent Development & minor in Atypical Child Studies at 18;Master Teacher Cert.; & now pursuing her MS in Educational Technology at 19, ==> both take great compassionate care in coaching their students & helping them, respectively, on individual strengths & stretching their growth potentials. They truly care about kids and empower them to learn and think. Positive reinforcement+customer-service approach made their students feel comfortable; &they like being there. Like in a big family, my son grows & discovers various visuals, audio, and kinetic e-Learning tools --even before the Common Core State Standards are being put place now. They also provide extra followup and follow-thru support and a good communications with parents.. My son still studies in LAMB-O now. I am so glad to find professional educators who really "got hold" my autistic son, and empower him to render Office Aide and Teacher's Aide in class. I give them my highest 5+stars' recommendation.

My child graduated from this school two years ago. Before entering this school, he was struggled and had tried other schools, but wasn't able to succeed. After enrolled in this school, the principal is so supportive to his needs and helped him increased his confidence and let him know that there are ways to be successful. He graduated from this school and went to college. He was also taught to give back by principal. My child has been volunteering in this school since he graduated. By doing this, not only he feels he is needed but also increases his social skills. This is a great school and kids can excel here. I highly recommend parents should come and look at this school if your child needs personal attention and want to success in a faster pace.

Going to Lamb-O was the perfect solution for my academic needs while I was going through a rough patch. It was invaluable in that it helped me to get back on track academically. Before I went to Lamb-O, I was failing pretty much all my classes, but with time and the support provided to me I was able to return to my previous status of being a straight A student. The community is excellent, with friendly peers and caring staff, and includes a small but cozy learning environment. Lamb-O is also very flexible and caters to each student's individual needs. They are even willing to do whatever they can to help after you've moved on to community college, and can provide especially great teacher recommendations and academic advice if you go any colleges. This school is great for special-needs students, students who are struggling to get their act together, and students who wish to bypass the various hoops of high school and jump right into college. Anyone who is looking into an alternative education path should definitely go check it out.

This school is unique! It takes in students who have challenges such as Asbergers and not only helps them learn but is able to move them through the curriculum at a fast pace. Also, the great teachers guide the students to be more accountable for all they say and do as well as don't do. They also help build strong character and self confidence. Even students who don't speak English as their primary language do well. Students tend to finish the curriculum early and to pass the standard testing with honors.

I ve ADHD/Asperger & LAMB-O Academy is my academics rescuer from Gr.5 to Gr.9+ via, strengthening my writing skills by major advances, sprucing my attitude and soul, and providing a learning haven for teens at risk, like me. Prior to learning writing, I would write irrelevant random items, without any literary structure. Teachers think I write gibberish & I should ve been an ELL. Steadily & uniquely, LAMB-O molded my new inner writing style to articulate precise mechanics, & a dash of figure of speech. No longer would I have a writer s block to postpone my writing to oblivion, nor would I need to jigsaw-puzzle words into incoherent meaning. LAMB-O energized me to soft character-building--assertive, but not aggressive, so I can marinate ideas in greater fluidity; whilst gaining insightful lifelong skills, i.e. leadership, ethics, & organization. I'm on-the-GO teen & LAMB-O calibrates professionally to my frequency in EdTech &/or coach @onsite school, to customize a kid's I.E.P., uniquely. Here, I ve passed rigorous state hi-school exams @13 & earned the highest U.S. Presidential Eagle Boy Scout rank @13 from, its Scouting troops, as I overcome new STEM frontiers by leaps & bounds.

This school is divinely priceless.I was a troubled teen from San Francisco Chinatown, with attention-deficit, learning-delay & an English Learner.My 2.2 GPA was excessive in Clubs,watching anime, playing PC games;&face-booking. My mom was referred to this teens rescue LAMB-O with compassion to help typical/atypical youths in rigorous custom-coaching kids to higher self-esteem, jump-starting in accelerated college-prep process. I was skeptical but I did pass High School Diploma with a 3.8 GPA&was admitted to Mission College.The principal & teachers, as well as many Teacher s Aides, continued to provide back-end support to all my academic needs at the college-standing level. LAMB-O is family-oriented & empowered by students wanting to make a difference to uphold an ongoing excellence commitment, with a customer-oriented service. Other I learned from LAMB-O:Venture Scouting &outdoors camping/wilderness survival skills, Judah Lion Dance, Biblical-based Wing Chun Kungfu; fitness at Bay Club Silicon Valley Fitness membership;collegeprep even@13:college-eligible. Miracle to see how LAMB-O coached Int'l kids American cultures, aid Englishspeaking homestays, & excel Hi-Ed break-thrus.

Lamb-O Academy is definety is the best school out there. Its the first and last Pivate school i have attend but i gotta say they provide a very prime enviorment for academics. In the time of three months Augusta had taught me more material then any other teachers i had in the past. In just three months of time i covered all 2 years of materials, I couldn't imagine myself graduating 2 years eariler then im suppose to. This is the place you want to be if you wanna go above and beyond.

This school is great!! It has helped my children improve on their English tests. After I enrolled my children there, they all got excellent test scores. The teachers there are very helpful, answering questions you may have. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more.

As a student attending this school, I have never seen better support, not only physically and academically, but more importantly spiritually in faith with God. In just two months at this school, Augusta has taught me more than all of the teachers in my past had, helping me with academics and graduating high school in such a short time. Before I came to this school, I was in an emotional rollercoaster. Diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, the fear of people and how I think they would think and judge me has greatly impacted my ability to learn and function normally. My previous school didn't accomodate my needs and during the middle of the school year (March 2011), my mom found out about this school and so I came. Reluctant at first, it was THE best decision of my life. With Augusta's help, I managed to finish high school in the two months that I have attended LAMBO and now I am going to college this summer. Being in 11th grade, I have never thought that in just this short of time, I managed to skip about 1.5 years of high school! More importantly, I have much confidence and don't struggle with anxiety anymore! I truly praise this school with all my heart and spirit.
