My husband and I Love St. Timothy's! No one has ever been rude and our "Nickle and Dimes" have been well worth it! Our children learn a lot and they love going to school and their teachers. They keep us well informed even more so because we are always asking, they tell us where they should be for their age and where they are individually! That would have been mentioned if you attended an Open House/PTSF Meeting. You are the best and sometimes the only advocate for your child and if you feel like your child is not where they should be or even are capable of being then something should be done immediately!!!!!! I feel confidant in knowing that when my children go on to attend the next institution of learning that they will be on the proper grade/skill level! Thank you St. Timothy's for all you have done for My Children!!
We are extremely satisfied with the quality of education at STS. Our daughter is in the pre-K program and will continue attending until she reaches the 5th grade. Our son, who is two years behind her, will soon attend. The student body is diverse and the climate is inclusive. The students are given ample opportunity to participate in afterschool and summer activities, such as chess, ballet, and an environmental club. STS offers more than just Parent-Teacher-Student meetings--they also offer "Family Fun Nights," which are engaging and fun. My husband and I are delighted with STS, and we openly encourage others to consider this wonderful (and affordable) opportunity!
As previously stated by other parents, this school will nickel and dime you. My child attended here for 4years and when he transfered to another private school he was so far behind. This also has been true for children transfering to public schools as well. The curriculum is not up to par. For the money that you spend at this school your child should be above standard. My child made all good grades at this school but it meant nothing when the curriculum wasn't up to standard. Kindergarten and first grade teachers are excellent and they set the bar. The principal and others are rude to the students and parents. There is a reason why they had to get rid of 6th grade and now it only goes up to 5th.
I am a St Timothy parent and I could not be happier. As for the nickle & dime comments. This is a PRIVATE school. The fees are actually lower than average when compared to other private schools. Even public schools charge for lunch and before/ after school child care. Most schools, including public school, now require parent volunteer hours. The Director / Principal at St Timothy is not someone that I would EVER characterize as Rude and the teachers challenge students to be respectful, and to meet their best potential. My research has indicated that St Timothy students do well when they transfer or graduate on to other schools. I agree with the 6th grade being eliminated to focus on Pre-School and K-5, Primary ages only. Fees are POSTED for review on the school website. Take a tour & please do your research to get the REAL story on the school.
I love St. Timothy because of it's strong academics and nuturing environment. Both my children, though very different have thrived here! It is a great place!
They do not tell you the real cost. The teachers are great, but with all those hidden fees, not worth it .....ex. regular tuition...then before care, then after care, then lunch, extra days and late fees
Really, St. Timothy is a good school when it comes to education however they will nickle and dime you to the very end. It would be better if they told you the real cost of yor child attending the school up front. When you look at all you pay for at this school it is much much higher than expected. Lunch, aftercare/ before care, so called volunteering (yes you are charged if you donot) you do get complimentary free air to breathe and lots of smiles from the teacher because they know no matter what you say. They will get you at the end.
St. Timothy is indeed a great school. I take pleasure in dropping my son off in the am knowing how much he enjoy learning there. I would and have recommended St. Timothy to others. Kudos to the teachers and administrators at St. Timothy School !! You really make a difference in the lives of our precious children !
I wish I could give St. Timothy School a rating of 4.5 stars. It is a really good school where students get a firm academic foundation in a loving, Christian environment from a dedicated staff. I am also the parent of a St. Timothy grad who improved his standardized test scores significantly, annually.
The school is great,but the lunch is not so great.Most of the teachers are very friendly.I would recommend anyone with younger kids to go there.
