I went to the school not too long ago and it is definitely an active location. I heard running in the hallway and had my shirt pulled pretty hard in the area closest to the big field dividing the school and the KEA Mill. I plan on going back again soon
Looks really cool

About The second Murrieta Grammar School
The Second Murrieta Grammar School operates as a traditional independent elementary school in Murrieta, serving grades K through 8 in a classroom-based format rather than as a tutoring center or after-school program. The focus is general academic instruction across core subjects, positioned for families seeking a non-public school alternative to the Murrieta Valley Unified School District. The student body skews toward families prioritizing a smaller enrollment and structured classroom environment over the larger district campus. The school suits families making a deliberate choice away from public schools — whether for curriculum philosophy, class size, or independent school culture — rather than students arriving for remedial catch-up or test prep. Most families enroll children for the full K-8 span rather than as a short-term intervention. Admission typically involves an application process rather than open enrollment, and tuition is a meaningful annual commitment. For families wanting enrichment programs, special needs services, or highly specialized academics, larger schools with broader resources may be a better fit; for those prioritizing a traditional classroom model within a tight, independent community, this addresses that specific family decision.

Calvary Murrieta
Calvary Murrieta operates as a full private school on Monroe Avenue in Murrieta, serving students from preschool through high school in a classroom-based, traditional academic format rather than a specialized tutoring or enrichment model. The school handles core curriculum instruction across grade levels, with the infrastructure and enrollment model of an independent institution rather than a supplement to public school. The student base spans families choosing private education for the full K–12 arc — parents prioritizing smaller class sizes, a specific educational philosophy, or religious curriculum alongside academics. For families seeking targeted test prep for the SAT or ACT, or single-subject tutoring to shore up a weakness in an otherwise public-school trajectory, a tutoring center fits better. For parents committed to a private school experience from early childhood through high school graduation, Calvary's classroom model is the operating format they're already planning around.
Murrieta Springs Adventist Christian Academy
Murrieta Springs Adventist Christian Academy operates as a full private school serving kindergarten through high school in Murrieta, with a curriculum rooted in Adventist Christian principles alongside standard academic instruction. The school combines traditional classroom structure with the faith-based values framework that defines Adventist education — balancing core academics, chapel, and character development across all grade levels. Families choose this school for one of two primary reasons: either they're committed to faith-integrated education and want that worldview embedded in daily instruction, or they're seeking a smaller private-school environment where class sizes and teacher relationships differ meaningfully from public school settings. For college-prep high school students, the academic rigor sits in the standard college-preparatory range; for younger grades, the focus is foundational skills within the school's faith community. Parents weighing this against Murrieta's public options are generally making a deliberate choice about religious instruction and school culture, not simply proximity. The student body skews toward families already connected to or seeking the Adventist church community, which shapes both the daily rhythm and the social makeup of campus.
