St. Monica Elementary School

My son has been attending SMCES since the first grade, he's now an seventh grader. He loves going to school. The staff is tremendous, the principal is one of the best I ever been around. The teachers are amazing. At back to school night they lay out their goals for the coming school year. The talk about their teching styles, and expectations for the students. You know exactly what to expect. The campus is safe and the elementary school works together well with the high school. I cannot imagine my son going to a different school.

My daughter, who is in 1st grade, comes home happy and can't wait to tell me how good her day was. Every morning at breakfast, she is so excited to go back to school that it is clear to me that the learning environment at SMECS is a nurturing and empowering experience for our daughter and, by extension, our entire family.

The school has a great principal and is very community-oriented. The school also has a great after care program, including on-campus enrichment classes.

We are so fortunate to be a part of this beautiful school community. Our son went from a public school to St. Monica's and adjusted well within a short time.

I agree with all of the prior reviews. St. Monica's offers a a very safe and comforting environment for children, the ideal environment for learning. Most of the families that have decided to send their children to this school have made an active choice to be very involved in their child's education as it is a requirement of the school. Research has shown that it is this active parental involvement that is one of the most critical factors in determining how successful and happy your child will be later on in their life. St. Monica's breaks thru class barriers and has really created a community all working towards the same goal. As the children progress thru the grades they are expected to become more independent. This is another aspect of the school that appeals to me.

We're a small school, only one class per grade. All the staff know most of the children by name. Our priests are involved at the school, and are over on a regular basis. School is highly structured, academic, and disciplined.
