“I would be what most folks call, a "Problem student". In public school, I was disruptive, argumentative, and often times, absent. This wasn't because I'm a bad kid; rather, because I wasn't challenged by the public school curriculum. In 1979, my second grade year, I was placed in special education class. This was the public school's solution to students like me (Out of sight, out of mind). Here I remained until I started a new school my seventh grade year. My special education teacher immediately recognized I was out of place. He ordered the school to conduct a series of psychological, aptitude, and intelligence quotient tests be administered to me. The outcome was I was labelled "Gifted, but suffered severe ADHD". My I.Q. test came back at 148 average, but was noted that the test was likely low due to my inability to keep my attention. As a result of these tests, I was expelled from special education and mainstreamed into the seventh grade. I had not been in a 'normal' classroom for five years, and very quickly began to fail. I was still disruptive and argumentative. My mother became overwhelmed and sent me to live with my father in Half Moon Bay, CA. I enrolled in the local junior high school to finish out my eighth grade year. Thanks, in part, to a school guidance councilor, I was able to graduate to high school. Freshman year in high school started off disastrous. The end of my eight grade year, I took a placement exam, which I had no idea at the time how important it was for my upcoming curriculum. I was disinterested and applied no effort. In fact, I recall simply going through and marking any random answer to get out of that facility. My freshman year curriculum reflected my scores. I was placed in basic math and basic English. This was about the most damaging scenario imaginable to someone like me who responded to challenges. By second semester of freshman year, I simply stopped attending school entirely. By the end of the year, I was placed on probation. Unfortunately, sophomore year showed more of the same, and by the end of my first semester, sophomore year, I was expelled from the public school system. This is where Wherry Academy comes in: As fate would have it, we heard about the small, state accredited school, Wherry Academy. (At the time, located on Highway 92, Half Moon Bay/Redwood City). I was skeptical, but intrigued nonetheless. My first impression of Wherry Academy was that it was small. A schoolhouse of roughly 15 students ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade. However, I quickly found myself making friends and fitting in. I can honestly say that Wherry Academy, not only changed my life, but changed my perspective on life. I went from an unchallenged, failing student, to one who achieved highest marks, and went on to earn college credits before graduation. Wherry Academy stimulated me personally. The small classroom sizes and the one-on-one attention was perfect for what I needed for my own growth. My instructors were able to give me the personal attention I needed beyond the regular curriculum. I was challenged. I was encouraged. I grew, I succeeded, and I graduated with my class. Wherry Academy wasn't just another school. I was THE school that I needed to succeed at life. Marcus W Collins - Wherry Academy graduating class of 1990 B.S.

“We ABSOLUTLEY LOVE Ms. Elizabeth and Bel-Esprit Day School. Our 5-year-old son has been attending since he was 3 and LOVES to go to school. He was behind in speech and social skills, but you would never know it now. Bel-Esprit has really helped our son thrive and is beyond prepared for kindergarten due to their effective educational program and the amazing staff at Bel-Esprit. He comes home happy, always singing songs he’s learned from the day. Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Ashley are so kind, patient and they always make sure every child receives fun-loving but firm care, a quality education, in a safe environment. It has been remarkable to watch our son become independent and accountable for his actions, which is tough to teach young ones. They have become like family to us, and we ALWAYS have complete peace of mind while he’s there. Communication is top-notch and they really put thought into their fun activities for the kiddos and families. We highly recommend and couldn’t be happier we chose to became a part of the Bel-Esprit family.”

“My daughter has been learning piano with Robert for 2.5 years. Robert is fun and having lots of patience with kids. He is not just teaching piano skills but also teaching music theory. I like the way that Robert does not focus on training a piano player but teaches the kids to enjoy the music along with playing.”
