St. Nicholas School

I have always been impressed with the students at St. Nicholas and their polite and respectful manners. The school promotes high academic achievement, but also fosters a sense of community and caring. Your child will get an excellent, well rounded education built upon a solid foundation of character and moral development. Classroom size is typically small, and each child is known and lovingly nurtured by the administration and teaching staff.

We love Saint Nicholas. My son and daughter both attend and we plan on sending them until they graduate from the eight grade. There are not many people or places that my husband and I entrust our children to, but we are 100% comfortable while we are away from them all day because we trust this establishment so much. We entrust the teachers, the staff, and our phenomenal priests with influencing their minds, their spirituality, and their physical well being. I could not imagine raising my children/family without this wonderful Saint Nicholas family.

This year I had the honor to be the St. Nicholas Booster Club President. I can tell you from personal experience, the teachers and staff are amazing. Not only do my two sons attend, My husband is an alum. My son and his father had the same 3rd grade teacher! They teach the whole child- not just a great education, but these students have a greater understanding of what it is to be a well rounded person who is not only given a great education, but is taught how to give back to their community as well - a rarity in todays world! The only negative about St. Nicholas is that it doesn't teach high-school.

Our daughter has attended St Nich since Pre-K. We have fould the level of teaching to be excellent. The lack of extracurricular activites has not been a problem for our family. Sport & the arts are everywhere. We enter this year into the 4th grade, and ask ourselves is it all enough for the higher grade levels? We are not sure but I do feel we made the right choice with St Nicholas. Small class size, Teachers & Parents who take the time, for the childern.

Both of my children attend the school. They have excellent, caring teachers (one or two are not up to par). They are doing work at least one grade level above public school. Currently they have Boy and Girl Scouts and piano lessons available for extra curricular activities. The children participate in 2 or 3 excellent musical programs a year. There is a core group of parents (mostly mothers) that are actively involved in the school but all are welcomed. I love the school.

I have had a child in this school for many years and have seen the quality of the education slip over the last couple of years. The school has a problem atracting and keeping good teachers, the few that they have are not allowed to expand there teaching styles beyond the very narrow guide set for them by the principal. The school has poor communication with parents and frowns upon any type of parent input. There are no extracurricular activities for the children.
