I have one daughter who attends St. Philip the Apostle. She s currently in the fourth grade and has been here since the first. She is constantly challenged by the workload the school enforces. She has become quite responsible and organized. To stay the school only has one class per grade level, they offer several activities for the children. The staff is very close knit and the teachers seem to know all of the children. The children respect the adults and more importantly each other. In this day and age it is very refreshing to know my daughter is in an environment where she is safe and being positively encouraged in her academics. The Principal, Ms. Cullinan is so patient and organized. She really knows what she's doing. I m truly grateful to have my daughter in attendance at St. Philip the Apostle!!!!!
I strongly agree with the last two posts. Our boys have been with St. Philips since 2004. We love the school. The teachers genuinely care about the students. The principal is excellent. She knows each student's name and something about them. My children are safe and receive both a rigorous academic education and an excellent moral and spiritual grounding. As an educator myself, you just don't see that level of detail, organization and care in many schools but you see it at St. Philips. I have appreciated their level of organization and commitment to the education and development of my children over the years. The fundraisers are not forced on parents and you can see how the money actually benefits and is invested in the children. St. Philips is an excellent school.
I very strongly agree with the last posting. We are so glad that we chose St. Philip's to send our daughter. We have been with the school since 4th grade and now my daughter is in 8th. My daughter has grown mentally and spiritually since being there. The staff is there for you when you need to discuss any issues concerning your child. And the principle is the corner stone of the school. She wants the best for the children and that is what they get. To address the topic of fundraisers, they are never pushed upon a parent or do they look down on you if you don't participate. There has never been any pressure in the past or now about be involved in the sales. This is not what St. Philip's stands for, we are a family. Family takes care of each other and looks for each other.
I have to strongly disagree with the last 3 posts. Our children have attended St. Philips since 2001 and we are extremely pleased with the academics, Catholic identity and staff. Our children are disciplined, well-mannered, respectful and doing exceptionally well in their studies. My husband and I are very involved in the school and can see the commitment and dedication of the staff. We have the option of participating in fundraisers (which are necessary in a privately-funded school that is not funded by the government) and I'm not sure why or how someone has made other reviewers feel guilty. That's unfortunate, because the Principal, Pastor and staff are committed and dedicated to establishing a good, safe and encuoraging learning environment. I have experienced other Catholic school and St. Philips is among the best. If you are looking for good academics, good moral teachings, a disciplined, safe environment, I recommend St. Philips.
