Senior: The attentive response of the teachers, along with administrative staff and teachers who listen make for productive school days. I’ve benefitted from hands on learning & the offsite experiences, such as learning opportunities in my journalism class, and service hour opportunities. AES values students as an integral part of their educational success. As juniors we are offered a trip to view multiple colleges across several states to gain knowledge and broaden our scope on what universities have to offer. School is fun! We are encouraged to participate in dress up days, dance offs, homecoming festivities and special celebrations. Most importantly, I feel as though AES has taught me life skills that I can take with me wherever my journey leads me.... Read 55 reviews

Parent: I graduated from Sacred Heart and now my daughters are attending as well. I am happy to say that the same traditions and values that were at the heart of this school, remain the same today. We came from several years at another private school in the area, and as much as I adore our previous school, there is nothing comparable to a Sacred Heart education! My daughter’s have both flourished at the Academy, just like I knew they would. The individualized attention these girls get is second to none. Plus the small class sizes allow for so much more freedom, from group work on the floor to classes outside because it’s a beautiful day! The best way that I can explain the Schools of the Sacred Heart is, it’s not just a school, it’s a second home for these girls!... Read 14 reviews

Senior: I first starting going to Parkview in 7th grade and I will be graduating this spring. Parkview has been a good experience for me, but it has also come with it's challenges. I can say that 90% of the faculty are there to ensure that students get a good education and adequately prepare us for the next year/future. I haven't had a problem with the majority of students, but there are bad apples in every barrel and you can't expect everyone to get along. Overall, I will be graduating knowing that my Christian education has prepared me for a life in the outside world, and my experiences at Parkview will never be forgotten!... Read 142 reviews

Junior: I like the school as a whole. The sports programs are exceptional. The coaches and players are some of the hardest working I’ve ever seen. The classes are challenging but the teachers are good enough to make the classes much easier than they should be. I would like to see some changes in the area of rules. They have a lot of rules that are excessively strict. For example, we have hair cut rules, rules on the color of your shoes, and you get a detention if you forget your ID or Computer. Those rules are unnecessary to say the least, but other than that, I like the school.... Read 152 reviews

Parent: Our three boys have attended Berchmans Academy for four years now, PK3-3rd grade and my husband and I are loving it, but more importantly, our boys are loving it.

The boys are able to learn like boys learn with much active time, play time, hands-on activities & and overall sense of giving boys what they need to thrive in the younger years.

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

We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!... Read 10 reviews
