“My son attended kindergarten via remote learning due to covid-19 lockdown. During that time his teacher perfectly navigated the 24 children through the school day on zoom. She was engaging and motivated the kids as if they were in class. The children were able to attend school during the last few weeks and they interacted with each other as if they’d been physically together the entire time. It’s a testament to the great job the school did during distance learning. He’s now attending in-person first grade and is thriving. He’s able to read, his writing and math are at grade level and his social skills are on point. All of this is due in great part to the dedication of the teacher at CWC Hollywood. The best endorsement of the school comes from my son who is always excited about going to school and loves his friends, teachers and administrators. He’s looking to attending second grade at CWC Hollywood.”

-2021 Caregiver Testimonial

“We joined CWC during the pandemic. We were looking for a school that could handle school from home and that would communicate with complete transparently on options as things changed. We have fallen in love and been blown away by the school, staff and community. They lead with integrity. They are incredibly intentional. They care about everyone. And they’re developing great students and great citizens. We’ve loved our teachers and all the staff members we’ve interacted with. This is our school and we’re so pleased to be part of what they do and what they are building.”
