St. Virgil's is a wonderful option for children pk3 8, providing a very relevant education. Children benefit from a small community where everyone knows them and cares about their academic success as well as their moral character. The opportunities available to the children are something remarkable, considering the small size. They can play on sports teams each season, participate in many clubs including debate, chess, scouts, and join the band and musical productions. Since the school is small, all the kids have a big role and feel important and grow confidence. The children consistently score high on standardized tests, and their curriculum is rich, especially now with the introduction to S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) programming and iPads for 8th graders. The school embraces technology and parents can review their student s progress and homework assignments on line. Another extra special characteristic of the school is the active involvement of parents. Parents can choose to have a reduced tuition for 40 hours of volunteer work, but many parents choose not to have the deduction and still volunteer. Wonderful school and great kids.

I love St. Virgil's because not only do the children receive an excellent academic education but they also receive an education in caring. The school emphasizes that the true worth of a person is not only what they know academically but how they interact & care for the rest of humanity. SVA epitomizes on a local level the ideology of Care2 not only in an ideologic manner but in an demonstrable one as well.

Our kids love their school and never want to miss a day! The faculty, staff, students, and families are all wonderful and caring. From pre-school thru grade 8, all the students know each other - it's so nice to feel a strong sense of community. The academic program is very strong and competitive. There are several extracurricular activities for the children to get involved in. Overall, we are extremely pleased at SVS!

I have attened this school for awhile now. As in any school, yes, it does get clique-ish. But here, no one goes out of their way to be vicious. Academics are great, school in general is great, but the upper grades are TERRIBLE! clique wise. Oh, well.

Our children love St. Virgil's School. The teachers are excellent and the small class size allows everyone to become real friends. It is a very nice, close knit school community.

Saint Virgil is wonderful school for a child. Learning is very easy for a child when they are in a warm, loving safe place. I have two children in the school and could not be happier. It is worth every penny!

My two daughter's attend this school. Not only am I very happy with the academic and extracurricular programs offered by the school, but both girls really enjoy the teachers, their friends and the activities. I think the school is doing a wonderful job of developing strong, curious learners!
