Junior: Keystone is difficult at times. Most students in high school struggle with mental disorders, and the wellness programs are a total mess. That being said, being at Keystone gives students initiative. Compared to the standard for schools in Texas, Keystone has an almost unparalleled academic program perhaps only second to BASIS. Students learn critical thinking skills and are given invaluable tools to prepare for college. When I was in middle school, I found the middle school program provided valuable note-taking and learning skills for high school. The teachers are truly amazing and want you to approach them. Because Keystone is pretty small, there aren't many clubs offered, which is a major downside, the student population is not very diverse, and there are a couple of teachers that are terrible but won't be fired because of their emotional ties with the school. Overall, the academics, teachers, and college prep program are good, but there are still a couple of lingering issues.... Read 66 reviews

Freshman: It is such a warm community and has an amazing learning environment.The curriculum is above average with teachers pushing their students to be the best. The competitive academics are also exhilarating because there is always a challenge.I love how the teachers and staff are very caring.They always put the students metal health first which makes a huge impact.All teachers are exceptional in their field and are highly qualified.Every student at TMI is unique and is celebrated for it by others.The giving at TMI is also a virtue that welcomes everyone warmly. It is a culture that we"do on to others as we wish to be done to us."This results in a close community that gives and gives. Whether it be to TMI or the city around us, the TMI community always finds a way to leave a good impact. The sports has grown in the past couple years as well. With multiple sports being State runner ups, we will sure be back next year with our panther spirit.With all this being said, TMI is the place to be.... Read 60 reviews

Parent: This has been our first year at the Atonement catholic Academy. We moved from CA last summer and our main concern was to find a school for our sons with both high academic standards and Christian values. AA has it all. The teachers have exceeded our expectations, the staff is helpful and caring. We have met wonderful families that have welcomed our family as their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to be. There are rules, of course, but the learning environment is incredible. The kids are treated with love and respect. If you care about education and Catholic values I encourage you to visit our school. You won’t be disappointed!... Read 85 reviews

Alum: The faculty and staff at this school amaze me! They invest in the lives of their students, they seem equally passionate about enhancing a students education as well as their spiritual and emotional maturity, and are willing to go above and beyond to engage with their students and establish meaningful relationships with them. I met some amazing mentors through my teachers during my time here, but I also found a strong group of friends who were passionate about pursuing Christ. SACS provided a safe, encouraging, and fulfilling environment in which I could establish a firm idea of what it means to abide in Christ in my day to day life.... Read 186 reviews

Parent: All of my daughters have graduated from Castle Hills. The teachers are all extremely qualified, loving, caring, and challenge students to grow not only academically but in their walk with the lord. Many times my children have commented that it was through the mentoring and conversations with teachers that they were inspired to pursue their goals. The teachers were a partner in our children’s education and in encouraging them. I knew that what we were teaching at home and encouraging at home would be supported at the school. This is HUGE! The teachers are extremely qualified and excellent in the fields that they are teaching. This is evident in the classroom conversations that take place that I would hear about at home. My daughters were not only academically prepared to succeed in college but the Biblical integration, the life on life mentoring, the chapel programs, and the example set by the faculty and staff all served to encourage their faith and support them in life....

Parent: We are so happy that we discovered Lutheran High School for our daughter! She is genuinely happy to go to school each day. The academics are excellent. There are several Honors and AP options (History, English, Calculus I & II, Comp Science, Spanish etc) as well as dual credit engineering classes. Importantly, the students are not stressed out and miserable because the teachers and social environment are supportive and nurturing. Bullying and other toxic social issues that are prevalent at other schools are not present here. Athletics are top notch and welcoming to all abilities. Home games and even out of town games are well-attended by students, faculty and parents even if they don't have an athlete on the team. The Robotics, E-Sports, One Act Play etc provide excellent extracurricular opportunities. Overall, the school provides a quietly superior environment to educate and prepare intelligent and compassionate students for college.... Read 71 reviews

Senior: From the day I arrived I've loved Incarnate Word! Everything from the modular schedule to the teachers to the best friends I've made! I really enjoyed the modular schedule at Incarnate Word. It allowed me to get my homework done during the day and taught me important time management skills. That way when I went home I hardly had to do any homework. I just had to study. I'm glad I learned time management skills by going through the schedule because I feel this has prepped me for college! Another thing the teachers there are great! They really want you to succeed and are always there to help you out. The class sizes are only about 15-23 people so the teachers are easy to access outside of class if you have questions or need help on a concept. Regarding the school atmosphere, all the girls here are very nice and we uplift one another. I met some of my best friends here and we will continue to stay in contact even after we graduate from high school.... Read 217 reviews

Senior: Antonian is such a great school, that has an even more supportive community that encompasses it! Not only do they provide and amazing education for all, but have numerous State winning athletic programs, such as Basketball, Cross Country and Volleyball. Their cheer and dance programs are also outstanding as they continue to bring National Championships to the school as well as being great spirit leaders for the school. The school offers so many different clubs and organizations with excited staff that are eager to engage with their students with their endeavors. The campus ministry program is fantastic as they offer IHS retreats for students of all grade levels, Kairos retreats exclusively for seniors, have retreats for every grade level, allow students to help lead weekly mass as Extraordinary ministers, lectors and be in choir. Antonian has a very strong sense of school spirit that all students love to partake in.... Read 249 reviews

Works Here: Central Catholic High School is a premier all-boys institution that has had to adapt and change over the last 170 years; however, the school's culture and traditions have not been altered. From the first moment you step onto campus you are welcomed as family and invited to experience the school's mission in action. It is a true privilege to serve this school community and be a witness to the development of the young men who say YES to CCHS. This environment challenges students to perform at their best and will support each student in his endeavors of reaching his success. This is the same sentiment for those members of the Faculty and Staff. There is a sense of pride and love felt daily in the hallways. With award-winning programs (JROTC, Band, Athletics, Academics, etc.), CCHS is what a student - a parent - a faculty member - a Marianist - makes of it. This special place will continue to serve the families of San Antonio and surrounding areas for the next 170+ years!... Read 134 reviews

Senior: My experience at Cornerstone Christian Schools has been amazing. Ever since 2nd grade, when I came to this Christian School, I came to know Jesus more. I built many friendships with many other Christians here who have been with me throughout my senior year. The school has prepared me academically and spiritually by setting high examples for us students. I am able to take high-level courses that will prepare me for going into college. The rigorous work we put through has made me into who I am today. I am a hard worker because of this school. Every day, students compete to be better than we were yesterday. We have so much support from the school, knowing that every one of us is loved. The teachers are always there for us whenever we need anything and even offer after-school hours if we need help with school work. Cornerstone is a great school and I am forever grateful for being a part of this wonderful program.... Read 155 reviews

Freshman: I chose St. Anthony’s for its focus on development of the whole person. There is a down to earth, work hard for the education you deserve feeling, opposed to one of “entitlement” in some of the other private Catholic schools. Everyone is friendly and accepted. Teachers are there to make each individual student important and prepare them for college. This school is growing in enrollment each year which says a lot for its increasingly hard work and unique programs like this year’s medical and language dual credit programs. St. Anthony’s stays focused on the future!... Read 117 reviews

Senior: I’ve been attending Providence since 7th grade! I am a senior now, class of 2020! Great school, but I think Providence deserves a lot more enrollment. There is so much to be offered! My favorite part about Providence is the Fine Arts Department! Providence is most popularly known for the amazing Fine Arts department! I’m heavily active in Choir and the Theatre Department and Visual Arts Department is very popular, too. Dance is also very good! If any girl is interested in the Performing Arts, PROVIDENCE is the right Catholic School for you!... Read 136 reviews

The school and staff have been nothing but helpful throughout our child first year here at HolyCross. Parents involvement throughout the academic school year is a must for us we are able to access our child progress at anytime or set up conference if necessary. We as a family just feel safe and comfortable for our child to continue to go to Holy Cross of Sam Antonio. It’s just an excellent school.... Read 93 reviews

Senior: I am a 12th grade student currently attending this school, and my experience has been amazing. This school is extremely unique in various ways, all of which are beneficial to the student experience. Tutoring outside of class is no problem, every teacher there is always willing to help whenever you need it. This is because the school is relatively small, which also makes the school culture better. Everyone knows each other's names, and no one is ever left out. I never thought I'd be sad to leave school, but I know that I'll miss it once I'm in college next year.... Read 23 reviews

High School Senior: This school has a staff of administration and teachers that care and encourage every single one of their students to try and do their best at anything they do! Once we complete a class and get our credit, the amount out praise that comes from the staff is unbelievable they want to and wish to see everyone succeeding in their school! This is not an ordinary school this HS is for young children on the verge of dropping out or students that do not do well in public school settings if it weren't for this school and amazing staff I would not have finished school & looking foward to a education and a career in cosmetology....

Parent: We started with Shepherd of The Hills this year. Both of my kids had gone to public schools prior to attending Shepherd. My oldest who has ADHD and other learning accommodations never wanted to go to school. He flat out hated going. Since joining Shepherd his entire attitude has changed, not only his behavior but his grades have improved as well. He looks forward to going to school now. He tells me all the time how nice all of his teachers are, and that he never had that in public schools. I enjoy getting to drop off and pick my kids up from school every day as the location is near my work. My oldest was exposed to some adult material last year on the school bus when another boy was watching inappropriate material on his cell phone. I no longer have to worry about that stuff. Thanks Shepherd!!... Read 9 reviews

Parent: We have been at St. George Episcopal School for the past 3 years. We have a son and daughter there -- in 2nd grade and Kinder this year. We couldn't be happier with our experience! The kids are really known by all faculty and staff, the sense of community is very strong with all families, and the school does an amazing job focusing on the whole child - - academics, extracurricular, spirituality. We can't imagine a better school for our family! If you value a great education and a place that teaches kindness and respect toward others, with the opportunity for lots of ways to get involved, then definitely consider St. George Episcopal School for your family!...

Parent: I can’t say enough wonderful things about San Antonio Academy. Not only are the teachers over the top amazing but they know how to teach to boys and they know how to get the boys excited about learning. My son is engaged and motivated and taking charge and ownership of his academics which is a skill that will benefit him for the rest of his life. The teachers care deeply about the boys and are genuinely excited to welcome them back to campus every single morning. On school mornings, Our son wakes up happy and excited to get to school. The military program has instilled leadership and responsibility. My son has learned manners beyond anything I could have taught him as he understands the “why” behind manners so no longer questions them. SAA is an incredibly special place- one we highly, highly recommend... Read 16 reviews

Parent: The school at St Pius X been an amazing blessing in our family's life! They are truly living up to the motto of 'Building Leaders for Christ'... Our two oldest children graduated from there and are in public high school now, continuing to excel academically, socially, and are true leaders in their peer groups - and recognized as such by their teachers as well. Having been a part of that leadership & virtue focused learning environment at St Pius, with the great teachers & supportive admin, helped shape who they are today and prepared them for what the future might hold. Those 16+ yrs experience, and seeing those 'real' results, has made us more than confident to have our third child attend SPX currently. Yes, it's a great school...But the deeper reality - is it's a real community - a family.... Read 8 reviews

Parent: These teachers and staff care deeply about every child. As a former public school educator, I can attest that this school goes above and beyond the call of simply educating students. They treat every child as an individual and welcome families into their community. The teachers are knowledgeable, frequent communicators, and have the highest standards of professionalism. The school stands out as being a great value to us for the time/money and as a beacon of hope in the west side community. This was our first try at private school, and we love it. We will be back next year! There is also a generous fund to help with tuition so private school is within reach for families from all socioeconomic circumstances.... Read 12 reviews

Their is always someone at the door welcoming my child and myself with a warm slile. Afterschool the staff on duty ensures the child leaves with their parent or prearranged pickup. If I am stuck in traffic their is an after school care who watches over my child until I arrive. I also love attending Friday worship and watching the children give praise and reveive a message from numerous pastors from the Texas Conference.

Sunnybrook is a very small school which provides quite a bit of one on one with teachers for further instruction of assignments, all in a christian perspective. They are consistent with victories of multiple sports, and great connections with player to coaches. Every week they have implemented Chapel, to not only learn about the Lord, but to praise and worship him as well.
