This school is the least you want for your child. If you want to leave this school you won't get transcripts and a recommendation letter. It's their policy. Just FYI Some teachers are too old to teach adequately. We don't recommend this school.

As an alumni of Cambrian academy, I feel my experience there was extremely poor, especially compared to the schools I could have been to in the area. The administration is horrible, there was absolutely no options for sports and support for sports were minimal if ever present.

Cambrian Academy was a perfect fit for my daughter. She was a student that needed to travel for sports and the school catered to her individual needs. She was able to take a class at Community College that will apply towards her first year at UCSD. They were warm and welcoming and have a fantastic comprehensive college prep program for students. No bullying and activities available for those that want it. She loved her music production class.

Cambrian Academy has provided an academically stimulating and nurturing environment to my child. I would recommend this school to any child who has a different pace of learning. My child joined Cambrian at age 9 and graduated this year and has been very happy here!

As a concerned member of the Cambrian Academy community, I feel compelled to share my deeply disappointing experience with Cambrian Academy. This educational institution, which should ideally foster growth and development, has instead become a breeding ground for despair, thanks to its dismal atmosp...
