My son absolutely loves this school! He truly enjoys learing now, and has been challenged academically. I highly recommend this school to anyone considering sending their child to a private school!
We are a new family to Pope John XXIII and are so pleased with the education our son is receiving. We love that Pope John engages the students, academically, socially, physically and spiritually. The parent organization is fabulous. The parents involved do a top-notch job of organizing school activities from box tops to a school wide Harvest Fest. If you are looking for a school where teachers, students and parents work together to develop respectful, intelligent, faithfilled children then your search is over. Come be part of Pope John XXIII.
My son has attended Pope John XXIII for over six years now. The teachers are great in that they are experienced and help us keep him on track for success. The school uses web based access so my wife and I can follow his weekly progress. Email communication is used and has been a great tool. The administration sets a wonderful example of Christian leadership: they are strong in their faith, attend Mass with the students, and promote a spirit of service to the community. The teachers are successfully helping our son to become a responsible Christian citizen and steward. He is confident and outgoing as a result of the encouraging environment. Parents are actively involved and participate in his learning process. Unlike other schools, Pope John XXIII continues to offer art, music, physical education, Spanish as a foreign language, computers, and has a great library. Extended care is also available.
We have two children at Pope John XXIII. The students learn how important it is to be a leader in their community with service projects and Christian role models. All the teachers have been enthusiastic about their role in a child's life. They are committed to guidance and academic excellence. Our seventh grade student will be well prepared for a private or public High School.
We just started our son in Kindergarten this year and the experience has been wonderful. The sense of family is not lost in the environment of higher learning.
Pope John has been the best school I have ever been invovled with. My son has had the best experience from both an academic standpoint and social standpoint. I wouldn't consider any other school for my children.
Pope John XXIII is an active and involved community of teachers, parents and children. The curriculum is well formed and the teachers are experienced and enthusiastic. As parents of PJXXIII students for the last 8 years, we have see the school develop and grow into a well-functioning school and community. All schools have challenges, but the close community and committed leadership is able to face challenges and make changes and improvements quickly.
This is our first year at Pope John with twin girls in each of the two first grade classes. They love their new school and we have received a very warm welcome into the community. The faith filled environment is inspiring to both the students and the parents. We have two more kids that will definitly attend Pope John as well. It's a Great School!!
What a wonderful school. If anyone has the privilege of becoming a part of this community I would say go for it! Teachers are wonderful and parents are so caring. Best school around!
I had a very uniquely bad experience at this school. The teacher was new to the school this year and lacked the skills, education and experience to handle such a large and young classroom. Administration is very out of touch. The teachers' credentials have proven to be far below that of our new school. I found the discipline to be a little unrealistic and excessive.
