We have had three kids graduate from Cretin-Derham Hall, and have a current rising sophomore. We have loved everything about CDH! Academically, our children have been challenged and extremely well prepared for college, and it has shown in their successful college performances. The administration and teachers are dedicated and insightful, and have been wonderful resources for the kids. All of our kids have participated in multiple extracurricular activities, which they have enjoyed immensely and which have made them well-rounded students. There is substantial diversity, including racial and socio-economic diversity. That has really opened all of our minds to new ways of viewing the world and its challenges and opportunities. The facilities are great, especially for a 150-year old land-locked inner city school! Our kids have always felt very safe at CDH ... it's been like a home away from home. We cannot imagine sending our kids to any other school! Go Raiders!
CDH is an awesome school. My children have had unbelievable opportunities both in and out of the classroom. After graduation, they feel VERY well prepared in their college classes compared to others who came from different school (and they entered college with so many college credits earned at CDH!) They have made lifelong friends and remain in contact with teachers and coaches who always challenged them academically, but cared about them personally! I love that they can be involved in so many things - sports, theater, and service! It is an excellent education and a wonderful community!
With four very different students in our family, CDH was big enough that each one of our kids could find their own path to succeed: sports, theater, leadership, service and justice and so much more. The key is the deep sense of community we all experienced and the teachers who are very dedicated to challenging and yet supporting each and every kid! We are also so blessed that they formed lifelong friendships with really good people, during those critical high school years.
One thing that will always stand out to us is that when our kids went on to college, they often were told by their professors how uniquely prepared they were for the college-level work. They also entered college with college credits earned at CDH so they were on a strong footing! Great ROI!
We love this school for what it gave our kids and our family!
