We switched our kids to St. David's four years ago, and we've been so happy. It was a challenge for our kids, as they hadn't gone to such an academically challenging school before, but the teachers and school support structure really helped them succeed, and now they are thriving.
We moved from out of state so our children could attend St. David's School. After having our values undermined daily for years in the private school we were a part of, we wanted our kids to get a Christian education -- but we were unwilling to sacrifice quality of education to get it. So we looked in several states for two years to find that balance. We found what we were looking for in St. David's: an absolute top-tier education with a true commitment to Christian values. It's our second year here, and despite the challenges of such a significant move for our family, we've never once doubted that we made the right decision, and our kids have never been happier.
Any school that has an honor code that really works and an environment where kindergarten students are welcomed by High School students, with great academics and a love for Christ, we have found out childrn's school for life.
I love the fact that St. David's is decidedly Christian - not just in name only. My children have devotions every morning to start the day, meaningful chapel services with high quality music and lessons, teachers who live out their faith daily and encourage the same in the students. I hope they never lose touch with this fundamental quality. For parents simply looking for a school of status and aren't interested in a strong Christian atmosphere, look elsewhere because this school truly lives out its motto - faith, virtue, knowledge. My children are so happy at school and I feel good dropping them off each day knowing they're being nurtured in a Christian atmosphere.
This is a great school. We have been there since Kindergarten and find the overall environment to be outstanding. The teachers really care about the students and are interested in helping each one. Our base school was not acceptable and we are very happy we got into St. David's. My daughter loves it and wants to go to school each day.
This is a great school. The teachers really inspire the children to do their best. As a parent of two rather gifted children, I can't say the same about the public school they attended, where they seemed to sort of languish. They are so happy at St. David's. Unfortunately, the expense of private school is too much, so we are headed back to public or charter.
This is a strict honor code school, and it makes all the difference. In this school, honesty and self-discipline generate a respect for others and self that create a culture of integrity in every aspect of school life.
