I can't recommend this school enough. My son started Kindergarten at St Denis in September 2011 and he loves going to school every day. He has learned so much academically but is also in an environment where morals and kindness to others is instilled every day. The teachers are truly invested and it feels like a family!! Whether you are Catholic or any other denomination, all are welcome!!! St Denis is a family oriented fantastic learning environment!!
A year ago I was searching for a Christian School for my only daughter. I looked at St. Peter's, St. Dom's, St. Paul's, St. Veronica's, Holy Family and St. Denis. St. Denis surprised me the most. First, there was no pre-assigned type of student or family. The population of students, parents, and teachers was very diverse. Yet all had one thing in common, being a community that encourages our children to grow into mature, responsible adults. The school including the teachers and principal TRULY have an open-door policy. The teachers are adaptable and approachable. The older students really enjoy being prayer partners with the younger kids. Children, teachers, and other parents accept children for who they are. There is no competition between students or amongst parents. Everyone enjoys being part of a community whose main purpose is to prepare our children for their future. I could not be more happy with the small but mighty school we chose for our daughter. Half way through K she can read, and write, received 100% on spelling test. Loves GOD, her peers, teachers and HERSELF. What more could you ask for?!
At St. Denis my two daughters have both attended and recieved an outstanding education. The teachers are excellent and care about the children. With a small class, my daughters excelled to their very best. The school is very adavanced with smart boards in almost every classroom! They have recently introduced the "Rosetta Stone" language learner.
I would say I am on the fence about St. Denis. I have no doubt that the teachers care a great deal about the students. My child did very well there. However there is way too much parent involvement. It seems as if the parents can do as they please and the administration just has to accept this beacuse they wouldn't want to loose students. Enrollment is very low.
If you want your child to get into a great high school, this is the place to send your children. Great academics, great teachers, small, warm environment. The kids graduating from St. Denis get to attend the high school of their choice i.e. High Technology, Communications High, CBA, RBC, St. Rose and MonDon.
My son attends St. Denis and it is a wonderful environment for learning and growth. I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in private schooling their children.
St. Denis is a great school, small but mighty. The school spirit is contagious. The students, teachers and parents truly care about each other. I am proud to be part of such a community.
A wonderful loving community. Every teacher knows and cares about every child. Respect for self and others is taught at every level. Excellence in academics is evident when all 8th grade graduates are accepted into any high school they apply to. Most importantly, my kids are happy!
Great School, caring faculty and staff. Great Technology program. My children love it!
St. Denis is an excellent school and I would highly recommend it. The small family atmosphere truly helped my child through the years.
