This School is a hidden treasure. Our child is growing academically and her values and manners are impressive. The teachers are excellent. the school feels like a family, and the campus is a nurturing environment. Small class sizes, beautiful families and a top notch education is what you will get! The principal is so involved and always has a positive look on everything.

This school has been a God-send for our children and for us as parents. Not only are the students excited to learn, they are also kind, smart, and culturally diverse. The teachers are excellent - very creative and (perhaps even more importantly) happy! The principal is a visionary. She is highly accessible and innovative. The families are welcoming and involved. The curriculum is challenging. Technology is a part of every day student life. We are so happy to be a part of St. Timothy School.

St. Timothy School is the best. Hands down. Other schools should model their philosophy, curriculum, highly qualified and talented teaching staff after St. Timothy's. I have seen many schools and this one is the best. Happy, bright, motivated students who love to learn. These students are well rounded and in a nurturing environment that thrives. Remarkable. Proves great things do come in small packages. Thank you St. Timothy School.

Our children are entering their second year at St. Timothy School. We feel so fortunate to have found such an amazing school. They have creative, dynamic teachers and all of the students are smart, friendly, and truly kind to each other. Most importantly, our children are happy to go to school each day and are excited about learning. The school offers Spanish, music (violin), art, service learning projects, choir, drama, golf, and other enrichment activities. The class size is small, which allows the teachers to focus on each child's strengths and needs. The principal is highly involved.

St. Timothy School is such a unique find in West Los Angeles. It has everything a parent could wish for - small classes, excellent teachers, a nurturing environment, great students and parents and a curriculum that keeps the children engaged. The school really focuses on each individual child to help them flourish and excel - they matriculate to the top area high schools. The community at the school is extremely diverse, both culturally and religiously.

St. Timothy is a precious school. The students are unique individuals. Many have gifts in diverse areas (intellectual, social, sports, art, leadership, oral presentation, etc.). The teachers are talented, accomplished and all seem to have a wonderful sense of humor. Despite their diverse accomplishments, the parents do as well. The result is a culture of joy, excellence, self reflection, humor growth and wonder. I encourage you to visit and explore this gem for yourself!

As a parent I feel we are on a great school, we moved from another counrty and my son has adapted very well because of the techers and all staff at school I am surprised how much confidence he shows and all that is because he feels part of the school everybody knows him by his first name and that is a good thing about small size classes. I recomend this school if you are looking for a contained and happy place for you child to be. I feel lucky I have foud this school kids are nice and they care for each other, even older kids are very friendly.

If it sounds to good to be true then it is. The academics and new principal are wonderful. However, the previous principal left such a mess only God will be able to clean it up!!! Some of the students are unique and this is a secret that should not exist. This secret helped us make a decision to leave and that has been the best for our family. Last but certainly not least the teachers should be more diverse in 2011.

My family and I moved to the Los Angeles area last year. My son attended a private school that was not at all challenging both academically nor socially. I happened to pass St. Timothy and was impressed by the outer appearance. I went for a tour and was blown away at what they had to offer. My son began there this fall and not only are they doing what they say they would promise on, my son is EXCITED to go there everyday (by the way, it is difficult to impress him). He told me that transferring him to St. Timothy was one of the best things I could do as a mom. I was so happy. The staff is wonderful and caring and the kids are awesome. There is a new principal and she is awesome. The only wish I had is that they had a foreign language and next year they will be adding Spanish classes. I am a very happy parent!!

St. Timothy is a great community that will give your child a wonderful acedemic playground background with strong family ties and morals. This is truly the little treasure of the Westside of Los Angeles.

I have two sons attending St. Tims and they are both doing exceptionally well. At St. Tims, the grading scale is tough but both my boys are getting A's and B's there. The parent involvement is phenomenal and the family style atmosphere is unmatched. Plus, the Christian values instilled are for a lifetime!

Our children have been at St. Timothy for several years now and we have found it to be a wonderful environment. The teachers are incredibly well-prepared and enthusiastic. The academics are very challenging and the classroom and playground environments are loving and inclusive. The teachers are dedicated to what they do and truly love teaching. Our principal is retiring after establishing a library, a full instrumental music program and an excellent faculty, and one of our most beloved teachers is taking over, which has the school thrilled. Come join our community!

Best kept secret in Los Angeles. An academic haven for children. The principal and teachers are professional and work seemlessly as a team to make the classroom experience top notch. Extra curriculars - great, they even have golf. Extras - small class size and high matriculation rate to Loyola, NDA, Crespi, Immaculate Heart. Very impressive.

Best decision we ever made for our children. This school is outstanding. St. Timothy's principal and teachers are the best. The children are learning and thriving in a creative, stimulating and warm classroom environment. Our friends told us about St. Tim's - but not until we toured did we realize it was the perfect place for our kids.

What an amazing school! We just started here last year and can't believe what a great school we found in St. Timothy's. The principal, Mrs. Iselda Richmond, really knows what she is doing. What a refreshing idea - a principal who has high standards and knows how to run a school. The teachers are highly qualified - many with advanced degrees and all are credentialed. We feel that our son is so fortunate to be at STS. It is such a unique Catholic school - high academics and yet a super nurturing environment that has our son LOVING school. He is getting so much attention with the small class size and very talented teachers. The families are supportive and involved with the school. We looked for a long time before finding the perfect school - we know we have found it at St. Timothy's.

There are so many things to love about this school -- the amazing teaching staff, the incredible families and the exceptional students. It truly feels like a family. My daughter absolutely loves this school and i can't imagine her anywhere else. The level of academics is staggering and my daughter soaks all of the information in like a sponge. The teachers are dedicated, supportive, committed and passionate about what they do and it is seen the moment a person enters the front door of St. Timothy School. I highly recommend checking out the website, seeing when the next open house will be held and then attending. You won't be sorry.

We are new to St. Timothy school and have had a great experience so far. Our daugther was at a high priced private school and we thought we'd have to sacrifice academics since we had to move her to a new school. What a misconception on our part! St. Timothy's has her on a path for academic success, the curriculum is advanced and challenging, but not overwhelming. She is thriving and can't wait to go to school each day. We are thrilled.

While we've only been at St. Timothy's for a few weeks, we are very impressed with the teachers, adminisration and team orientation. We are very happy that we choose St. Tim's over many other local private schools.

St Timothy is really a great school, with a high level of exigence and a great spirit of community the only regret I have, they don't study a foreign language
