Great school. Excellent teachers and staff, most have been around for years and had even taught the parents of some of today's children. No tolerance for bullying, the children are taught to be caring and respectful. They have Art, PE, Music and Technology classes.

I was very dissapointed when my son attended this school last year. The teachers have a very old school out look on real life and as long as you are throwing money at the school... your chis is allowed to get away with things that even a public school wouldnt allow.. and missing a payment leaves you on the "list"... so beware to those thinking about this school... also... the teacher assistants are constantly changing...

I am really disappointed with this school. My kids were there for over 6 years, but ran into issues with high staff turnover. The staff is unwilling to deal with any issues that come up. This school is only for super quiet academic kids who fit the 'mold'. No accomodations will be given to kids who don't 'fit' in.

I now have two children in this school and not only do they love it, but I love it. It is a great community and the teachers really care that children are learning and supported.

My daugther attended 6, 7 and next year 8th grade at St. Leander. The coursework has been very challenging, however, the teachers are very helpful and the students help each other. The school is very supportive.

The quality of academic programs available to students are fine for the lower school, but for the middle school, I would have like to see more time for pre-alegbra and spanish. This would have helped in preparing them for high school. The Spanish class only met once or twice a week; more time is needed for high school in order to retain information. I also would have liked to see more time spent in English on grammer and writing. With the new SAT's coming out our students our lacking in that department. This makes it harder when they get into high school. Availabity of extracurricular activities at a private school is very limited. Parental involvement is mandatory at a private school and parents did get involve.

St. Leander has a wonderful cirriculum that seems to be one year ahead of a 'normal' school. The homework given is appropriate for the age of the child. The homework and weekly folders keep parents informed and make sure that every parent is aware of what is going on both at the school and with their child. Parent/teacher conferences and progress reports are also helpful and ensure parental involvement. I love that they give a 'break' to single parents by reducing the service hours required. They also have reasonable tuition compared to other Catholic schools in the area.
