At Little Flower School there is definitely a sense of belonging. Even though we are not Catholic, my children feel they are a part of the family. One of my children has severe food allergies, and I am so blessed to have the professional staff at LFS accommodate those allergies; knowing that she is safe everyday while she is there is a blessing for me. They have advanced technology; watching my K5 child do math problems on the IPAD is amazing. We have been attending this school for 4 years now and I am amazed by how much LFS continues to provide my children with an excellent academic education while getting them to be critical thinkers and leaps and bounds ahead of their peers. They show responsibility and self confidence that I do not see in their non-LFS friends. Outstanding school!
Growing up in Pensacola we knew the outstanding reputation Little Flower has had in the community. We wanted a school with up-to-date technology, a small sudent-teacher ratio, security and advanced education. We found it all at Little Flower. The students gain more than knowledge from an excellent education at Little Flower. They gain a deep seeded respect for fellow students and adults. The athletic programs are competitive and create a bond between athletes, not only at Little Flower, but with the other private school participants as well. I can honestly say whether a student or family that has been in attendance since kindergarten or a first year student in any grade, you feel welcome and a part of the Little Flower family right away.
We were searching for a small, Catholic school that offered a competitive edge for its students; yet, also individualized attention for special needs children. Our older child had gotten lost in another Catholic school that focused on boosting the gifted students. At Little Flower, we found exceptionally giving and caring faculty and a religious Sister as a principal who made the time for each student and class on a daily basis. Four years later, our two children remain enrolled at LFS. Our older child, who has special needs, has flourished in the family-like environment. And our younger child is constantly challenged and is excelling beyond our expectations. We also are touched by the profound impact that daily religion classes have on our children; thus, our whole family. Educate your children at a place where school, state-of-the-art technology, family and religion blend to form the base for truly well-rounded, conscientious, responsible and productive young people. Come to Little Flower Catholic School.
Little Flower is an excellent school whose teachers and principal strive to provide our children with a top notch education and teach them more about the Catholic faith. Sister Barbara does an excellent job ensuring the children have the best technology to enhance their learning experience. Classrooms have the smart boards and the media center has the iMac laptops which are the top of the line and are also used at Catholic High. Overall we have been completely satisfied with the principal, staff, technology, education, and tuition. We could not be happier with our choice.
Personally i am amazed at the one review that voiced such negativity. I have never brought a problem or concern to this administration in 15 years- that was not handled...perhaps not how I would have handled it but well within the parameters of the school guidelines. If you do not want your child to be accountable for his/her actions then this is NOT the school for you. i have seen some of strongest athletes sit out for making poor choices in the classroom. The expectations of the students is based on individual responsibility and not excuses. I have watched my children blossom into caring and responsible adults and am currently enjoying seeing my younger children prepare for High School. LFS is a wonderful environment for the parent who wants to be involved in their child's education. Accountability, Responsibility and compassion...a far cry from the sense of entitlement that has infected so many young minds.
This school is the best we have found in the entire area and the children are receiving the best instruction to date.
My child has had nothing but a positive experience since starting Little Flower in the fourth grade. The teaching is hands-on, and the teachers and principal are very dedicated. Now in middle school, my child still enjoys school and is learning information in a very creative way! I feel very confident that my child will be prepared for high school thanks to Little Flower.
I transfered my child to lfs a while back and I have never regreted it. Little flower is a great school. they provide a excellent education for every child and the teachers are all qualified and very understanding with the children. The classrooms are small and all the kids know each other thus they are respectful and are kind to others.
A horrible experience for our child and for us. Several incompetent teachers (are they even licensed to teach?) The principal, a nun, didn't follow through on any of our complaints, taking the teachers word as gospel. Poor sportsmanship on the athletic field by both players and coaches. Unfair test grades (I couldn't answer some questions correctly with an internet connection and two college degrees.) Overall, a tremendous disappointment.
I have a child in the first grade at LFS and another who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. The classroom sizes are small. The teachers are dedicated and qualified. I am very pleased with my child's academic progress. Sister Barbara and all of the staff truly assist children in living up to the school's mission including the Catholic values of mercy and compassion.
