Yes im the same person who posted the complaining post, all i have to say is I wrote this when I was really frustrated because of tests and stuff, and I wanted to apoligize, because in general I think of this school very greatly =]
We started out at the local public school and found that it didn't meet our children's needs academically. We made the rounds of several Catholic and other private schools in the area. After a tour of the school and a sample day we knew we had found the perfect fit. It was everything we wanted in a safe learning environment for our children. The Kaleidoscope accelerated learning program is unmatched. Unlike other 'Gifted and Talented' programs that take children away from their regular classes once or twice a week, this program integrates with the daily curriculum so the children miss nothing. Instead they are challenged to learn by thinking outside the box. Add to that Latin in grades 7 & 8 and you have one outstanding school! As for parent involvement, its one more thing I love about this school. Parents are not just involved, they are invested in all aspects. A+
A currently good string of Principals, each bringing their own contributions to the school and altogether creating a well-rounded school. From my personal experience, there was a lack of extracurricular activities (i.e. some, but not something for everyone), but what was in effect was well advised, moderated, and challenged the students to express themselves in other ways than filling in dots on a paper. The teachers are very accomodating but some are shifted too quickly (up and down grades) to be able to obtain the 'settling' feeling into the grade he or she is educating. The school is at work all around the year, from school for nine months to the Confirmation and Communion classes for those preparing to receive their respective sacrament. Having spent nine years in the school myself, I feel I can comfortably consider the school as one of the best Catholic Schools in the New Jersey area.
This is truly a phenomenal school. It should be a model for all other schools in the area, private, Catholic or Public. Wonderful facility, caring teachers, excellent gifted & talented program, good security and, most importantly, well behaved, well adjusted, happy children. A gem.
