I have loved every minute of my experience at St. Cecilia! The staff and teachers are amazing and extremely helpful. Additionally, the school just went through a change in Administration which is much stricter than before. In my opinion, this was an excellent decision as many of the girls were not looking and acting to the SCA standards of excellence. Overall, I highly recommend St. Cecilia.
My experience as a parent at St. Cecilia was always positive! The teachers that my daughter had while attending SCA were supportive and available for her at all times. I truly believe that the faculty strives for their students to succeed academically, spiritually and socially. My daughter was well prepared for college and had a positive experience during her four years at SCA. As an adult, my daughter has thrived in her career and I believe that SCA helped to shape her in to the confident, successful and grounded person she is today. I am grateful to St. Cecilia for the experience that she had during those four years.
I feel torn about my experience here. Looking back, I have some fond memories but mainly subpar/ bad ones. For context, I am white...that being said, I can only speak on what I observed second hand such as an abundance of microagressions throughout the school days. For example, one Black peer would constantly be mistaken as another Black peer. The amount of times this happened seemed to represent blatant apathy or even worse, intentional offense. All I know is that those actions should not have been/should not be tolerated. I would love to see more work towards racial awareness, such as a real diversity club, not just one that is proposed and turned down by admin unless titled something along the lines of inclusion or something (takes away from the real matters at hand...major whitewashing...also a real instance).
I do believe there are excellent, well intentioned and good hearted people on staff there-- I had some amazing history teachers. And one great dominican.
