I agree with all of the prior reviews. St. Monica's offers a a very safe and comforting environment for children, the ideal environment for learning. Most of the families that have decided to send their children to this school have made an active choice to be very involved in their child's education as it is a requirement of the school. Research has shown that it is this active parental involvement that is one of the most critical factors in determining how successful and happy your child will be later on in their life. St. Monica's breaks thru class barriers and has really created a community all working towards the same goal. As the children progress thru the grades they are expected to become more independent. This is another aspect of the school that appeals to me.
We're a small school, only one class per grade. All the staff know most of the children by name. Our priests are involved at the school, and are over on a regular basis. School is highly structured, academic, and disciplined.
We love St. Monica Elementary School. It provides an excellent academic program in a nurturing environment. There is a sense of community and family spirit that;s hard to find. The teachers are professional and caring. The principal supervises by 'wandering around' and is totally available and approachable. Eighth graders graduate on a positive note, proud of what they have accomplished and confident to succeed at the next level. We recommend this school with great enthusiasm to anyone who is searching for a super grammar school for their children. We have been very highly pleased!
St. Monica Elementary has been a wonderful school for our son. The students are well rounded and treat each other and adults with kindness and respect. Academically we have been very pleased, however it appears that students with learning deficiencies are not necessarily aided in the school environment and must attend outside tutorial programs which can be costly. There is a great after-school enrichment program that offers students a variety of classes in art, music, and more, however it is an additional expense. The CYO sports program gives students an opportunity to participate in competitive team sports with other schools in the area. Parent involvement is strong and families are dedicated to keeping St. Monica Elementary a wonderful place to send their children to school.
