This school has a very bad track record of assisting students with accommodations. I know first hand of two students who, after scheduling expensive appointments to get a formal diagnosis on the books, were excluded from the school for the grades they were receiving without accommodations. I wish someone would explain the logic to me. This seems to violate the ADA.

Fountain Valley is an incredible community. Not only is it a school, but it is also a second home to many students. The teachers are passionate and the students are very motivated and driven.

The people are very inclusive and always looking for ways to problem solve and offer support. There is plenty of time for one-on-ones with teachers and they focus a lot on individual learning. There are tons of affinity groups and communities that encourage global involvement. The community has foun...
