I typically don't writer reviews on websites, but was inclined to do so in case other parents are considering this school for their child. I read the review that was done by a parent on February 18th, and have had a similar experience. We were told by the teacher that my child had learning issues: since we left St. Gens, my child flourished into a young bright student. The school has limited staff to address learning issues for the child. Furthermore, the class size was way too much for Kindergarten. Other things I noticed, was that they feel as if it is the responsibility of the parents to teach the child, and not the other way around. Also, I did get the feeling that they "cherry pick" the students throughout the school year, for the ones to progress into the next class. We had a very bad experience at this school.
I would like to warn potential parents that are considering this school for their children. Initially, we were impressed by the staff, and how receptive they were to us during the tour. But this turned out to be a bait and switch. What should have been the give away, was that as the grades increase the class size became smaller. Problem 1: They Informed us that there would be no more than 23 children in the K program. When our child joined the class they informed us that there would be 30 children. When asked about this, we were dismissed. It turns out that they obtain their "blue ribbon" by cherry picking the children. Towards the winter they begin to inform parents that the child has learning/attention/anger issues. This is a parish school, and has a very visible "CLICK." Buyer Beware!!!!!
