The Pre-K program is excellent. Miss Joanne, Miss Diana and Miss Carole are AMAZING!!! The kids love them and they learn so much. The projects and crafts the kids make are wonderful memories us parents can keep for a lifetime. The only downside is that the principal does not focus on the early childhood center all the money goes into the big school. The early childhood pays double the tutiton that the older grades. That should not refeclt on the Pre-K teachers they are truly the best
The other reviews are correct regarding the lower grades at SHS but grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 have 4 teachers who teach the core subjects and 3 teachers who teach gym, music and art. The principal has one parent meeting at the beginning of the school year and none for the rest of the year. There is no PTA. The music teachers contract was not renewed for next year and he will be replaced with someone who will come in one day a week and run a "glee club". Morale in the staff is extremely low. Tuition bills are being sent out at the end of the school year for the first six months only which would indicate that tuition is going up in January due to falling enrollment and current students leaving.
The principal, teachers and staff are all very dediated, and truly care about the children. It also feels like one big family!
The family environment is very important to me. It is a wondereful place for children to grow academically, socially and spiritually. Children are challenged academically by nuturing teachers. Must send a special shout-out to the FABULOUS Pre-K teaching staff!! Overall the school is a great place for the kids to develop into intelligent and socially responsible young adults. Also a great sports program!
The teachers are committed to incorporating religion as well as academics into the lessons. It really gives my daughter a sense of values. And the sports program is wonderful!
