Parent: My son is in third grade at St. Bart's. We moved from an independent Catholic school and the change in his self-confidence was obvious right away. Class size is small, my son has a homeroom teacher and additional teachers for Spanish, Music, PE, library and computer lab. Although we don't need extra help in the classroom, I know resources are available for kids who have different challenges. Extracurriculars are provided through CYO or private companies and include chess, sports, science, robotics. The school body is small and teachers know all the kids by name. Recess is well supervised, and aftercare is fun. Hot lunch is catered and the caterer offers reasonably balanced meals. Uniform is easy, no jacket for the little guys in lower school! We'd love to see more after school activities being offered to the kids...Read 28 Reviews

Parent: I like that this school utilizes the more child-centered and hands on Montessori method. Montessori schools also tend to combine ages/grades, so the older children can help the younger children with certain schoolwork, which, I believe, is more beneficial to both of them than just having a teacher do everything. My daughter seems to have learned more at this school than at her previous school. I was also very pleased to hear that when students have trouble with something, the teacher breaks the class into groups and spends more time on that subject with the students that need the help, instead of just moving on to the next thing...Read 2 Reviews

Parent: Moving to CDS was the absolute best move for my daughter and our whole family. CDS's approach to teaching the whole child, providing enriching and challenging lessons while encouraging students to flourish in a safe, kind and positive environment, has been such a wonderful experience for us! Nothing makes me happier as a mother, and an educator, as the continuous growth that I see in her - academically, socially, emotionally and mentally. From the first day, the staff was welcoming, supportive and patient. We love the transparency and communication provided by the teachers and the school as a whole. The needs of all students are met with grace, kindness and compassion. The positive school culture creates a space where students can grow and learn academically. My only regret is not having her begin her educational journey with CDS from day one!...Read 17 Reviews

Junior: I am a current student at Linden hall and I can say that this school teaches you values that all of us should have. You are safe in your surroundings and can explore different parts of yourself! This is my third year attending this school and each day I get to learn new traditions. There are so many different cultures, and this school is filled with so many different beliefs and values. You never know what you may see next! Studying can be hard, but you have the support of teachers who value your understanding of the class material...Read 80 Reviews
