St. Albans is an excellent school, and we feel extremely blessed that both our children attended St. Albans prekindergarten through 8th grade. Our oldest daughter excels in the AP and honors classes she is taking as a junior in high school, and our youngest daughter is a straight A student as a St. Albans 8th grader. I know from personal experience that St. Albans prepares its graduates for success in high school, college, and life. The organization and study skills they learn while at St. Albans equips them for life. The care that the teachers and Head of School invest in each student is unmatched by any other school to my knowledge. The students are taught to be independent thinkers and are constantly challenged to do their very best and think outside of the box. Intellect and integrity are emphasized, and a love of knowledge and life-long learning is established.
St. Albans has been an excellent choice for our two daughters. We became members of the St. Albans community when our daughter, who is now a high school junior, started prekindergarten. Our eighth grader also has been at St. Albans since prek. The faculty and staff challenge the children to do their very best and respect each child for their individual contributions and personalities. A weekly meeting is conducted by the Head of School with the teachers to discuss how to best serve each child. If a child is struggling, a plan is carefully orchestrated and executed to help the child succeed. Children at every level are challenged to do their very best. Organization skills and accountability are taught in the lower grades and reinforced in the upper grades. These skills are highly utilized in high school, college, careers. St. Albans provides necessary skills, nurturing, and high expectations for life-long learning.
I feel extremely blessed to have been able to send our 4 children to St Albans. It is relatively small (1 class/grade, pre K thru 8th) with a class limit size of 24. For us, this has been a big positive because of attention paid to the individual students. We have found it academically challenging for all of our kids and have seen first hand how the school has prepared our high school junior for higher academics. They have school visits 1/month & I highly recommend checking it out. Great school
St. Albans is not just a small school -- it is a big family. We are 100% confident that our children are fully prepared to excel in high school, and more importantly, have the self-confidence and poise to excel in the world outside of the classroom. They know they have a 'St. Albans Family' behind them and deep, lifelong friendships with their classmates. Never was it more obvious than at 8th grade graduation when every teacher my son ever had --including those that had long since retired, moved out-of-state, and even were battling serious illness, came to offer congratulatory hugs to the graduates. Yes, it's small. That's why we make sure our children are involved in other social and athletic endeavors where they can expand their social circle. It's a joy to send our children to St. Albans every day.
