St. Helen Catholic School

St Helen's excels academically and it is an almost annual process where their students win national awards in academic games, beating out the students from the public school system and other private schools to earn the coveted spots on the state and national teams. The teachers provide a caring environment, and the school itself gives the feeling of an extended family to both the parents and the students.

Being so new to Florida and the schools in the state, I was overwhelmed by the plethora of options in Vero Beach. However, I have no doubt that though this town offers many great options, that I chose the best. St. Helen's has been remarkable and I could not be happier with my decision. The principal, the teachers, the parents, the students are ALL wonderful. The academics ... exemplary. If you believe in building your child's inner foundation ... if you believe in challenging your child ... if you believe in giving your child the experience of a lifetime, then consider St. Helen.

As a former graduate myself and now a parent sending my children to St. Helen, I can honestly say that our school is tops! I am truely fortunate that my children are able to attend the same AWESOME school that I did and receive a well-rounded academic and religious education. Mr. Avril was principal when I attended and is dedicated to his students, faculty and parents whole-heartedly. Our school is his life! In addition, we have the most dedicated, nurturing teachers and faculty in the county providing our children with challenging ciricula. Our school competes in academic games and always comes out on top!! St. Helen School feels like "coming home" and I am honored to be a Falcon! I still have close friendships with classmates that attended as well and we will always cherish our St. Helen memories. You're truely missing out if you're not sending your children here!

Excellent school!!! The academics are the best in Vero Beach! The school is older and the Principal is misunderstood which explains the bug and principal comments.

I'm currently a student at St. Helen, & graduating in the near future. -Teacher are very good, & love the kids. -Small school, & so you know everyone, & can become their friend instantly -Get a better education then some students in middle school. Although we do not like the principal. He's super nice & funny, but favortism is defiently a problem. Bug problems are horrible and there are dead bugs in the hallway, which feels pretty disgusting. & the lunch program needs to be fixed, prices are too high, & sometimes are very low quality, by the way it's presented and how it's made.

Everything I want in a Catholic School for my children. Lots of emphasis on Catholic values, religious education. Very good curriculum. Teachers that care about their students, minimal adminstrative tinkering. If you want Catholic education - it can't be better than this.

Outstanding school!!! We couldn't be more happy with the education our child is receiving. We are delighted with the focus on science and math as well as the dedicated teaching staff. We are very impressed with the number of academic awards the students and school has received - more than any other school in our county!!!!!
