We absolutely love Creekside! The school was one of our main reasons for making the move out of the Bay Area. We were initially impressed by how happy all the children were at school, and how eager they were to learn. Since the fall of our first year at Creekside, our son has blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically. The teachers, administrators, and families are all amazing!

Creekside is an awesome school. Our daughter and all the students are very engaged every day. They love their school, the teachers, administrators and the environment/campus. The education she is getting is also amazing, it is a tier 1 education on par with the best schools in the state. The academics are rigorous and expectations are high, so expect your child to work hard. If you are evaluating school options, do your child a favor and look at Creekside Charter.

Creekside is amazing school! Our daughters have grown both academically as well as socially. The teachers are amazing, teaching a classroom and then meeting the individual needs of each student to propel them to the next level in their learning.

Excellent school that has provided our family with a welcoming community, strong academics, and a flexible mix of classroom time and independent study. The location (walking distance to KT) is particularly awesome! Creekside kids love their school and I know mine are thrilled that they can stay all the way through 8th grade.

When visiting schools to decide where to send our soon to be kindergartener, we felt as though a lot of the schools seemed to be "going through the motions". Then we visited Creekside, where it was apparent that the teachers were passionate about teaching and the children. Now we have two children at Creekside, 2nd grade and Kindergarten and I have been so impressed by the academics happening at Creekside. Studying Von Gogh, Picasso, reading, writing and math - and that is just Kindergarten! In 1st grade, my son was giving presentations to his classmates and parents with ease and confidence. And now in 2nd grade, he is learning algebra, writing short stories, as well as reading comprehension. Academics is only part of the equation at Creekside. The values imposed on my children, the extent they go to build character and the "Olympic Values" taught here gives these kids confidence and moral standards beyond expectation from a public school.

Creekside's teachers, board and administration work tirelessly to ensure that our school and its students have the greatest educational experience possible. I have never experienced such an open door policy right up to the principle & board level. We sought after a school that would go above & beyond for our child and Creekside delivers every day! As parents, we can't help but brag to our friends and family about how awesome our school is. Wander through the campus and chat with the kids...they can't stop their excitement either. Creekside kids LOVE to talk about how amazing their school is.

The community feel that is fostered in the kids by the teachers and Jeff is amazing. Academics are outstanding. My kids love it!

We are fairly new to Creekside Charter but from day one, we've felt overwhelming acceptance from the families at Creekside. Our daughter transferred mid-year and was welcomed by all the students in her small class. Some things that mattered to us: small class size, excellent teachers who engage kids as well as value a balanced educational experience, family environment where all ages interact and support each other, the value and importance placed on weaving nature into the child learning experience, engaged and supportive families and the beautiful setting at the base of Squaw Valley. We LOVE Creekside! Jeff is really communicating well his goals to be the best place for kids to learn. He loves our kids and it shows.

Great school! Love the partnership with Squaw Valley Ski Team. My child is thriving academically and also able to pursue his passion for ski racing.

My son just started school at Creekside this year after having spent a few years in our local public schools. I have been so impressed with every aspect of the school including its challenging, experiential based curriculum, small class sizes, excellent communication with teachers and administrators, use of technology and, most of all, the infectious enthusiasm of all of the Creekside families and staff.
