Juan De Anza Elementary School

I have two daughters at this school, one in Kindergarten and another in second grade. I am really blown away by the teachers, staff, parents and Wiseburn CDC. My daughters were at a Redondo Beach School and the curriculum at this school is far more advanced. In addition, the amount of programs and connection to STEM are preparing young learners for more rigorous study in middle and high school. My daughters love going to school and the staff work on the whole child teaching them how to be great citizens!

This will be our 5th year at Anza. Our children are having a wonderful experience. There is alot of parent involvement and volunteering which supports the great sense of community at this school. The teachers, principal and PTA also greatly support this feeling of community. Not only are the teachers dedicated and communicative and teach every child but they give so much of their own time to make the experience at Anza one of a kind. Just come check out the Variety Show to see what I mean! The Child Development Center next door for Pre-K and before and after school care is great too.

Our family has been at Anza for 8 years and have LOVED every minute of it. The staff and faculty are top notch. Communication is excellent between parents, teachers, administrators and students. Anza wants the parents involved and gives opportunity for involvement in every aspect of the curriculum. You get out what you put in and it's all for the kids. The doors open and close ON TIME every day and you are expected to be punctual. School Policy is easy to follow if you follow it and not expect special treatment. You get fair treatment not special treatment - everyone is equal.

My child has had a wonderful experience at Anza. The teachers and principal are outstanding and work very closely with children and families. Mrs. Nitsos goes out of her way to greet students in the morning upon arrival and keeps the valet line moving as smoothly as possible with so many families dropping off at the same time.
