I have all 3 of my children enrolled and have been completely satisfied with Epiphany of Our Lord. The school has recently achieved Blue Ribbon Status due to its consistently high test averages which is no surprise to me. My kids are flourishing. The environment is one of higher learning, respect for self and peers, and love of god. I am happy to pay the small tuition charged, in comparison to other private schools of the same caliber it is a bargain.
My children started their second year at Epiphany. The first year the teacher was horrible. I thought it was just the teacher so I sent them again this year. It is a repeat from last year. This school does not care about the kids as a whole only the kids that the staff is friendly with the parents. I will not be going back a third year. I would not recommended this school to a child unless the parent is friends with the staff....I had to a least give this school one star if it were up to me it would not even rate!!!
Epiphany of Our Lord School works to bring each child to his or her fullest potential. What makes this school such a success is the commitment of parents, faculty, staff, stakeholders, and administration to providing the children with a quality and rigorous Catholic education.
I have children who attend Epiphany and both my husband and I are very pleased with this school. All the teachers have either their bachlor of science degree or masters degree and the school is rated number 1 for over all performance. Can't say the same for the other Catholic Schools in South Philly. We just know when we are in the school that this is the school for our children. The teachers are all very consistent with their niceness and they genuinly care about the children. The principal is truly a class act. We love what they are offering our children as learning tools so you may want to consider this school. PS I am a fussy parent!
Epiphany of Our Lord School is by far the greatest Catholic elementary school in the South Philadelphia area. I am so blessed that my children attend a school with such a wonderful faculty and staff. The school community is truly a family. Our pastor and principal are remarkable. Besides a rigorous curriculum the after school clubs and sports programs are second to none. If you are shopping around for a school make sure to look here. You won't be disappointed.
Can't say enough good things about Epiphany. My children are receiving a great education, the school is extremly safe & Miss Cody and all of the teachers make you feel like family. Anytime I stop to consider any of the are Charter schools I just could not bring myself to pull my children out of Epiphany. As long as Miss Cody is the principle and runs the school as it is now my children will be staying put.
All i gotta say is this is one of the most horrible schools in south philadelphia id never send another child here i dont even wanna give this school 1 star it deserves noone thats how horrible it is , its not even clean for a catholic school so no i do not recomend this school to anyone if you want your child to be talked down to and ignored because other children in the class get showin favortism they go right ahead but if not dont send your child here then .
By child started this year and my husband and I was excited. After the first week, we felt alittle ignored. The teacher talks about all the negative our child does and never the positive. She shows extreme favorism towards the other students and parents. We expected putting our child in a small private school, we would feel like family instead of outcast. We want to establish a good bond with the teachers, yet we feel disconnected. We are really thinking about whether our child will attend next year.
It is the school that my grandchildren attend and I also attend many, many years ago!
There is a strong sense of community here at EOL. Students are cared for, and are encouraged to care for those around them. This school is a warm and nurturing place, guiding the children on a solid academic, and Christian path.
