Mardan School,

1 Osborn, Irvine, CA 92604, United States

"Best school ever, Zach and Sarah are the BEST teachers in the WORLD! Pete is the BEST therapist. Very Great recycling program."

"Mardan has been a blessing for our son. Everyone there is so caring and genuinely want to help your child succeed. Can’t say enough about how grateful we are to be a part of this school."

"Best school ever, Zach and Bernadette are some of the best teachers ever. Jordan and Shannon, the first teachers I had, were also very nice. Well, when I was in Jordan's class, Shannon wasn't there. But after the teacher left she replaced her."

"It was the worst school, listen to Leslie, she speaks the truth! I'm a former student and I was constantly bullied there. I verbally assaulted every day, I was punched in the face once by a student, and threatened by another student that he would stab me with a pencil! I tried to tell the staff but the so called "counselor" Kyle said that "they're just getting defense" and "you're being mean to them", I WAS THE VICTIM HERE! The staff are morons and students are either bullies or idiots. Luckily my parents realized that Mardan was terrible and moved me back to public school after a semester staying at that hellhole, which was so better because the students and teachers were nice to me at Laguna Beach High School. Be warned parents and kids that Mardan is a terrible place."

"The worst school disguised under "therapeutic school." They slowly destroyed my son's self esteem. The worst teacher was Erin Rosenthal, she destroyed his self esteem and made him feel like he was incapable, the opposite of what a teacher should do. She has now been promoted to "Supervisor of Educational Services," that says a lot about this school promoting a sub-standard teacher that has very limited understanding of learning differences. Also Terrie Gero-Smead is one of the most difficult and rude people to deal with, no people skills and unprofessional. I could not take my son out of here fast enough. My son is now at a school that actually fosters his creativity and recognizes his intelligence, he is thriving and happy! If your child doesn't fit into a traditional curriculum, this school will harm and hinder your child's future if you keep them there."
