Vandamme Academy vs. Stratford School Mission Viejo

The proper goal of education is to foster the conceptual development of the child-to instill in him the knowledge and cognitive powers needed for mature life.

It involves taking the whole of human knowledge, selecting that which is essential to the child`s conceptual development, presenting it in a way that allows the student to clearly grasp both the material itself and its value to his life, and thereby supplying him with both crucial knowledge and the rational thinking skills that will enable him to acquire real knowledge ever after.

This is a truly progressive education-and parents and students should settle for nothing less.

Offering Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School, Stratford School Mission Viejo provides an unparalleled education where children are inspired to be creative problem solvers, innovators, and confident, compassionate leaders.

Our balanced approach in and out of the classroom ensures both academic success and personal development. In the classroom, our curriculum intentionally instills STEAM rigor and academic excellence taught in a warm and caring environment. Arts, music, character development, and physical activity round out the Stratford experience.

Beyond the classroom, Stratford encourages students to explore their individual passions through enrichment activities.

Our goal is to prepare and mentor students for admission to competitive high schools and colleges, and our students achieve outstanding results.

Evident at all our schools is the Stratford motto, "Summa spes, summa res," meaning "highest hopes, highest things.".
