Simi Valley is located in Ventura County, California. In fact, it is about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles! And, just as its name suggests, it is a valley surrounded by the Santa Susana Mountains and the Simi Hills. With almost 130,000 residents – and growing – Simi Valley is the perfect place for those looking for the perks of being close to Los Angeles and San Fernando without having to live in the city.
The residents here are excited to have the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum and the Strathearn Historical Park and Museum, which is rich in history and even has live Civil War re-enactments.
This city is the perfect place for family and education. In fact, Santa Susana High School was ranked by US News and World Report in both 2013 and 2014 as one of the top 500 schools in America and was awarded a silver medal. Simi Valley High School did well, too – ranking in the top 1,000 schools in the U.S. by MSNBC.
But what happens if your child is above and beyond the scope of “normal” education? What if your child has risen above the curriculum taught in public school, despite how good the school is? At Oak Crest Academy we have created the perfect mix of staff, curriculum, and opportunity for gifted children.
How do you tell if your child is gifted? Here are a few things to consider
– Does your child score high above the norm on most standardized tests?
– Do you often hear your child complain about being bored with homework or classroom assignments?
– Does your child have a hard time completing the assignments?
– Do you often have to convince your child to go to school? Does he or she complain of being bored while there? Does your child consider school a waste of time?
– Has your child’s current or previous teachers complained about your child having difficulty focusing?
– Does your child complete assignments more quickly than other students?
– Does your child have a hard time relating to his or her peers?
If you feel that your child may be gifted, contact us today to discuss how we can help with his or her learning needs.
