We love this school. We are sad to see that it is closing! We are fighting to keep it open as Mr. Smithers the Principal and the Pre K teachers and assistants are all Amazing!!!! We have looked to other schools but cannot find the same level of love, learning and compassion. It just is not the same at other schools. This is a true community and a place that encourages personal growth and teachers that pay such close attention to all the individuals who pass through the door. Tears come to our eyes everyday as we count down to our last with the school. Ms Holinski is the best Pre- K Teacher ! SO kind and intelligent. She has helped our daughter be the best she can be. Ms Jackie is also awesome and so caring. A great back up for now but will obviously be a fantastic teacher herself.

This is an excellent school! My daughter is very happy to be attending this school and her academic progress in Pre-K 4 has surpassed my expectations! She is reciting prayers which I only learned in high school! This school possesses the most competent and caring teachers and staff. I am impressed most of all by the Principal Mr.David Smithers who personally knows each and every student! Believe it! He has transformed this school's spirit and even it's bright and lively, clean appearance! He leads prayers every morning whether it's outside assembly or inside the classrooms via intercom! I look forward to my commute from NJ to NY as I take my child to school knowing that she is excelling in a safe and secure environment. This school is affordable and in the most convenient location! I know of other satisfied parents who commute from the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn!

This is a great school! It is a very nurtering and caring environment where students from Pre-K to 8th grade not only thrive academically but also learn good manners and christian values. My son is an only child and the schools positive influence made him the most considerate little guy who cares about his fellow students and teachers. The principle is very open and greets every single child and parent in the morning. The class size is below twenty and the building is very bright and clean. Its location is also great! This school is a well kept secret!

We love this school. The teachers are wonderful! But the vision and leadership of it's new principal, Dr. Noerper and church pastor, Father Thomas are phenomenal - in less than a year's time they have increased the school spirit and status by the new programs they have implemented and by their show of truly caring for this school and it's children.
