Kahlil Gibran School

This is my sons first year in this school. I am very impressed with their teachers. They are in first and second grade and overall I am very happy. I am however very unhappy with the principal Dr. Macaluso and feel he lacks people skills. I feel he will not deal with me because of an issue I had in the begining of the year. My children are progressing well and there are little things the school does to keep the children interested. I will happily be sending the children there next year.

Reaching the principal Dr. Macaluso is IMPOSSIBLE, he defers all inquiries to his teachers, even if they are the ones you are calling about. The prior principal Ms. Digneo was a very involved principal easy to touch base with regarding any concerns.

So far so good, but we're really reserving judgement until the little one finishes pre-k. We're also planning on getting more involved this year. I will say this, they do keep us informed and up-to-date.

My children (K and Pre-K) are very happy at this school and I'm very happy with the progress they're making. The teachers are nurturing and truly caring. The principal is involved and caring, as well. It's too bad that budget cuts have affected the school, mainly in aides. The classes are small enough, but the teachers really do need their aides.

GIbran is a wonderful school with nurturing and dedicated teachers. This small school provides the children with an excellent education as well as opportunities for extracurricular social activities. The involved parents association energizes the school with countless raffles, school dances, field days etc. The school is small which allows the administration to get to know each child. My daughter, now a Pearls student, was very happy at Gibran. She was well prepared for her transition into the Pearls school. Hopefully the school will become a pre-k - 8th grade school. Sending your child to this school in a great neighborhood is a no brainer.

I love the school, the teachers are wonderful...I can't say anything bad about it. I hope Yonkers can find it in their budget to build this school to be a Pre-k to 8th grade school.

I loved this school, and so did my Son. Everyone learned his funny personality and just saw things his way. Everyone was a Mommy to him. There are few schools with such a loving staff.

I absolutely love this school, I just wish that it will go to 8th grade so my son and daughter can stay here. I don't want to leave, I love the teachers, they all have been incredible and my kids have learned so much. Anyone that pays for Catholic school is crazy, not when you have a school like khalil Gibran and the phenomenal teachers that they have here!

If your child is already doing well academically then it is fine, but I had the worst expierence in this school my children need extraa help and they just did not have enough resources available.
