Corpus Christi School

We were accepted into Corpus Christi for the 2010-11 school year and I cannot adequately express in words how happy that news made me. There are so many things to like about this school, but what I like best is the strong sense of community. The older kids actually look out for the younger ones and there is no bullying. The morning assembly in the courtyard makes me wish I were a kid again; you can tell these children are being groomed for higher education. As teachers go, I know there are a lot of good ones out there, but I can't imagine any better than Ms Halkias, our daughter's kindergarten teacher. She is very experienced and a natural with young children. This is truly a great school and we feel blessed to be a part of the community.

We have been a Corpus family going on three years. My son is doing great - he loves this school and loves learning. As a single Mom I feel huge relief and assurance that he is safe and happy and well-cared for. To me, Corpus is like an extension of our home. From an academic perspective, the school is fully accredited and in 4th grade now we have 2 fully credentialed teachers for 32 kids. We have just started the year, but I can comment on 2nd and 3rd grade, which had terrific teachers. Someone else wrote about the aftercare. I believe the current Aftercare Head Teacher has been there 3 years, and both she and her crew are dedicated, imaginative and caring. My son enjoys the experience, and again I am very grateful for a safe, fun and affordable place for him to go after school while I work.

Corpus Christi has everything it takes to be a great school -- strong academics, dedicated teachers, excellent enrichment programs, extraordinary leadership, and a caring community. We have had 5 years at Corpus Christi, and each year we are more appeciative of our decision to choose a k-8 catholic school over much more expensive private schools. Respecting yourself and others permeates the school day, and the kids are taught life skills that will help them mature into responsible, balanced adults. Corpus Christi gets an A+ from us!!

Quality of teachers has varied from excellent (third grade)to signficantly below average. School leadership is rigid and unimaginative, but rules are strictly enforced. School administrator at the front desk is superb. Day care is marginally useful if one has no other choice. Yard safety is excellent; however in the afternoon pick-ups are unnecessarily time-consuming and cumbersome. Parental involvement is high, mostly because of Parish connections and encouragement. Fund raising continuous throughout the year. Quality of students is high.

Fantastic school. My daughter attended from 2nd - 8th and loved it. Great teachers, amazing principal, and wonderful family feeling. My daughter received a fabulous education and was well prepared for high school. I highly recommend this school.
