Belen Jesuit Prep School

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 6-12
• 104 reviews

Junior: Overall, Belen Jesuit Prep School is a very academically strong school. The classes definitely push everyone to their limits, and the teachers usually do a good job at teaching their subjects. There are many clubs so everyone can be involved in something. The culture is all about brotherhood and our dedication to religion solidifies that. However, I rarely ever feel like I am in a brotherhood. Like every school, there are cliques that do not get along and Belen does not do a very good job in my opinion of helping with that. Belen’s academics and extracurricular activities are spectacular, but if there is something that needs improvement it’s the culture.

St. Thomas Aquinas High School

• Private School
• Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 9-12
• 646 reviews

Senior: I'm currently a senior at STA and the past four years have been an amazing experience due to the endless experiences available. There are a multitude of clubs, sports, and other events offered that allow you to branch out of your comfort zone or hone in on your passion. STA is pretty well-known for our outstanding sports teams, but our academics are just as impressive. The courses adequately prepare you for college and the guidance office is very welcoming and always willing to answer any questions you may have. I may be slightly biased, but this is an amazing school to attend during the best four years of life!

Our Lady of Lourdes Academy

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 9-12
• 183 reviews

Alum: This school definitely prepared me for college! My high school experience definitely taught me how to get into a study routine and time manage so by the time I reached college, it was a breeze for me while others fell behind. The school environment is amazing and bullying is less prevalent than if I would have attended a co-ed school. Students are assigned a "big sister" as freshmen similarly to a sorority and attend regular retreats which are always great for bonding with other classmates. Best four years of my life!

Senior: Amazing high school experience, the staff is always there to assist me in any needs while also providing a great experience. The school environment is perfect and only allows for the best students to participate. Their lunch is fantastic and I get to eat something different every day with even the chance to eat steak and cake when one of the school sports teams win a game. The education I have received over these four years was nothing short of spectacular and allows me to apply it in real-life situations. Overall an amazing experience!

Chaminade Madonna College Preparatory School

• Private School
• Hollywood, FL
• 9-12
• 92 reviews

Senior: My experience at Chaminade Madonna has been beyond amazing! I attended CM my freshman and sophomore year. For my junior year I decided to transfer to another school for athletic reasons. I had a great time at my other high school, but it wasn't Chaminade. By attending two different schools I was able to compare the two and realized that Chaminade was my home. I decided to transfer back my senior year because I knew that was where I belonged and wanted to graduate from. The teachers, students, faculty, and staff make the environment there amazing. Everyone, whether or not you attend the school, are welcomed with open arms and warm smile. There just aren't enough words to describe how amazing the school is. I know that when I have kids and if I live in south florida, I will send my kids to Chaminade Madonna College Preparatory.

Cardinal Gibbons High School

• Private School
• Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 9-12
• 277 reviews

Freshman: Cardinal Gibbons High School is an amazing school for academics and colleges preparation. It’s is a small quite private school with a loud personality in the people and as a whole big community coming together. Cardinal Gibbons has amazing football and soccer teams but some times their theater program, science , and mathematics programs get underestimated. Gibbons has amazing and beautiful theater acting and talent alike. But, the science programs they offer can have students travel nationally and win science competitions from chemistry labs to astronomy tests.Gibbons offers everything thing you need to excel and then some more. On top of this, all students take an APEX class in which students benefit from free private tutoring on the phone for over 3 hours of learning experience in what you are struggling with. They even have scholarship programs that reduce tuition fees by a lot of money were private school is affordable for most people.

Cardinal Newman High School

• Private School
• West Palm Beach, FL
• 9-12
• 86 reviews

Senior: Cardinal Newman is true to their goal, which is for us to prepare us for college. From the first day, the teachers welcomed us with open arms and were very helpful. The classes are very challenging and intense but they are not impossible. The teaching staff is always there to help if we have any questions, which makes the classes easy to understand. The guidance office is also a great asset to this school. My guidance counselor helped me out s lot in the process of applying to colleges. She helped me with small questions about the COMMON APP, the SSAR, and many other small questions that I had. No matter how much I annoyed her she would always help me. There really isn’t anything that o would change about the school, but I would recommend that they get a better food program. The people who work at the cafeteria are very nice, so I wouldn’t say that they are the problem. The actual food is very good and there isn’t much to choose from. Aside from that I wouldn’t change a thing.

Monsignor Edward Pace High School

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 9-12
• 222 reviews

Senior: I can’t say anything bad about most of the teachers, because they are some of the most helpful and caring people there. The academics aren’t super advanced, but the counselors are extremely caring and try their best. I do have to say the administration is too much and there are so many rules it feels like a prison sometimes, they’re so ridiculous. I don’t suggest being there and lgbt+ unless you surround yourself with enough close friends, because it’s really difficult. The students can be really apathetic. Overall, it was pretty alright.

St. Brendan High School

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 9-12
• 429 reviews

Junior: No other school was ever called a home except Saint Brendan High. The teachers taught me things through hands-on experiences or after school tutoring when needed. The faculty is easy to approach to. It was easy to get to know amazing friends of all ages. I enjoy every school activity, in which everyone can unleash their Sabre pride. Their college fair got me closer to all of the colleges I was interested in applying to. The only thing they should improve is the food quality; nevertheless, anyone can get accustomed to it. As a whole, their theology department does an extraordinary job teaching the how they can implement the Catholic religion into their daily lives. Saint Brendan High not only provided me with the education about the different subjects in school but has also opened me to grow as a better individual.

Alum: Archbishop Coleman F Carroll High school is a great school to attend. The environment is awesome, loving,caring and nurturing. This by far is more important to me than a total focus on academics. Everyone should come out and take a tour and see for themselves. Don’t let others influence your opinion. Come out and see it for yourself! Its a great place for students to enjoy, learn, and create memories through out their high school experience.

Parent: Our 2.5 year old daughter just spent her first year of preschool at Rosarian Academy and we couldn't be more pleased. She loves it at Rosarian and has learned so much this past year. We are incredibly thankful for her teachers and all of the staff for the love and support they have given her. They have also been so patient with us we experience all of this for the first time, communicating every step of the way. Our girl can't wait to go to school every day!

Parent: This school is truly a gem. The teachers are wonderful and excellent educators. This is my son's second year at St. Agatha and he has loved his classes and teachers. The faculty and staff are warm and welcoming. The standards of education are also excellent. Homework is well balanced and the environment is warm and loving. Most of all, it feels like a family. My child is not only getting a great education, but also growing in his faith.

St. Coleman School

• Private School
• Pompano Beach, FL
• PK, K-8
• 5 reviews

Parent: Just one clarification... The other review states that the discount is only for what you put in, that is inaccurate this year. Last yeae, yes, it was insane. They made it an 800.00 credit for the 800.00 donation to the church (Which is still nice because it's a tax write off to the church but not as tuition) This year, the tuition (all inclusive of fees) with parishioners was between 9200 and 9700, I believe. My children have attended Scs since K and they have always been above their friends outside the school. It is a statement to the school that many of their teachers attended there and many of their parents were once students.

Parent: I have been a part of this school community for 9 years now. I am VERY pleased with every aspect of the school. The changes in curriculum we have seen have been noted and we are very happy with our children’s performance as well as the way they are challenged each day. My kids love the school! The family environment can’t be beat. I know my children are safe there (especially with all of the technological advances they’ve made recently with cameras, visitor check in process, police presence outside the front gate, etc). I have an A+ public school that is within walking distance from my home and I’d always choose Our Lady of the Lakes over it.

Middle School Student: I was at Epiphany 3rd to 8th grade. To be honest, I didn’t love it while I was there because my classmates didn’t include me, but I know I was the exception. The faulty was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was just so amazing. I learned so much in every class, and I’m glad my mom had the foresight to put me in a catholic school, because I now have an incredible work ethic that I know would not be possible without it.

Alum: Nativity Catholic School is still a great school after a few years since having been a student. The teachers are all very well prepared and always put the students best interest first. Nativity also offers great extracurricular activities outside of academics for students to immerse themselves with either music, creative arts, drama, and of course athletics! The level of academic integrity speaks for itself with Nativity as they have had students recognized for scholarly achievements.

St. Gregory the Great School

Parent: This school is great academically and also the religious aspect is a game changer. We have been part of the St Gregory the Great Catholic School family since 2012 and could not be happier. My boys thrive in the strict but loving atmosphere. All of the parents are required to be involved which I feel keeps the kids grounded and the parents in the loop. Our security gives us all peace of mind in knowing our children are safe. The teachers and administration really love our children. They are preparing them for high school so they go in with confidence. If you are looking for a second family..this is the school for you!
