Alum: As an alum, I recently returned for a visit. The new Perino Science Center is state of the art, and the faculty impressive. St. Bede has always been excellent academically, but now with the new science facilities, it can't be beat. Alumni continue to support the Academy, and while the cost is truly quite low for an education of this level, there are lots of scholarships available to make St Bede Academy even more affordable.

Alum: I enjoyed going to LP High School. There are lots of activities andclubs to belong to. The teachers are good and I learned a lot. The teachers genuinely cared for the students. I loved playing basketball the most and made lasting friendships. I also played softball and we got to go on a spring trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I also played tennis and we had the best coaches. ...I really enjoyed football season; such an exciting time for everyone. My tennis partner and I got to lead the team onto the field during one game, running ahead of the team with flags. The student section always had so much fun cheering on the team. Our school spirit was the best!...Read 128 Reviews

Senior: I enjoyed my almost four years at Resurrection College Prep High School. Going into a school where I knew only two other people, I was extremely intimidated and shy. By mid freshman year, I had met so many friends, and the all-girls experience allowed me to be more confident and social in such a vulnerable setting. I have learned numerous things about myself and have watched my social skills progress immensely. I am grateful for the friendships and amazing connections I have made with my teachers who witnessed me grow from freshman to senior year. As much as covid affected basically everything my senior year, I hope that the previous grades have the opportunity to have the same amazing high school experience that I did. Even with everything going on, Resurrection has made learning for us so much easier and efficient!...Read 149 Reviews

Alum: Pretty great (potentially one of the best in the city) school when purely talking about support and success in college applications, however, there is a critical lack of higher difficulty courses and support for student activities. This effectively clips the wing of highly-achieving students, as they must fight tooth and nail to get coursework that is of a challenging difficulty. Despite this, the diverse, egalitarian nature of the school is extremely admirable, giving the school an undeniably modern, progressive edge. Thus MPA exceeds in both its powerful community network and its college readiness, but struggles in being academically competitive in the modern era...Read 115 Reviews

Parent: I am a parent of two alum and a current high school student. The teachers and academics have been instrumental in preparing my kids to excel in college. Both my graduates are in extremely challenging, highly ranked programs and both find that they have an easier time handling the college workload than their peers. Our favorite part of the school, however, has been the tightly knit community feeling that started in the lower school and continued through graduation and beyond. We are excited about the new esport program and the technological/media opportunities coming to our new downtown campus. Recent renovations in our historic buildings have also made the main campus more comfortable and compelling...Read 66 Reviews
