St. Timothy School

All four of my children have attended St. Timothy School with theoldest now in college, I can honestly say that her academic foundation was formed and set at St. Tim's. Through a robust academic environment with one of the best grade school science programs in Ffx Cnty my children have excelled at math and science. Combined with a robust computer program, reading and social studies programs the academics are first rate. Finally of course, the religious and ethical foundation of a loving and enriching Catholic environment is unmatched. We simply are blessed to have this school and family community in which we just love to be a part of.

St. Timothy School is a wonderful school that provides academic excellence and a warm, caring environment. Three of my children are St. Timothy graduates and have gone on to excel in high school and college thanks to the stellar academic foundation St. Timothy's provided. My last child is currently in Middle School and loves the electives offered, the dedicated teachers and the strong sense of community. The school graduates students that are prepared for the challenges high school offers, both in and outside of the classroom. Sending our children to St. Timothy School is easily one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made.

Saint Timothy School is a great value, because the kids are learning 21st century skills. Their faculty is extremely well qualified, especially their support staff, and they truly care about their students. Students are taught Spanish, art, and music. They have access to individualized instruction by the Resource Center when necessary. The library is large and modern, with computers and a librarian who teaches students how to do research in the 21st century. The counselor seems to know every student by name, and helps the students to find their footing. The middle school offers students electives in robotics, art, PE, music, research, improv, public speaking, storytelling, astronomy... and the teachers choose the electives they are passionate about. The middle school is also broken up into houses or advisories, which are groups of students from 6-8th grade, so the kids really feel a sense of belonging. My kids do look forward to going back to school at St. Tim's every year.

Excellent teachers Strong principal/school leadership Challenging academic programs I firmly believe St. Timothy's has all three of these qualities to make it a GREAT school. Both my daughters went to the school, from start to finish. My husband and I knew early on they would be attending a public high school, but we felt they would be able handle the pressures of this transition if they had a strong faith background. They even had a leg up on the academics since St. Tim's has an accelerated curriculum.

St. Timothy School is a Blue Ribbon School that teaches to the mind, body and soul. My children have attended this school for 7 years and have excelled academically and socially. The school does not teach to the SOLs; but, teaches the basics and when they take their standardized test, they score years beyond their grade level counterparts nationally. This says to me that the academics are sound and that they are prepared for any high school upon graduation. Within this faith community, our children are prepared in more ways then academics......they are patient, kind, considerate, respectful and have wounderful character traits based on their virtues.

St. Timothy is a great school where kids can learn and grow in a faith-based environment. It is a great value for parents who want their children to get an excellent education in preparation for their high school and college years and for parents who want their children to learn and practice their faith at a deeper level. It not only provides a superior education buts most importantly it builds a child's character based on the virtues.

My children absolutely love St. Timothy School! When I've volunteered (and I do a lot) the one thing I notice is how happy all of the students are. St. Timothy has a beautiful sense of community. From pre-k, through elementary to middle school students are challenged academically and nurtured spiritually. I would highly reccomend this school. It makes me sad to see the comments below about the carpool ladies. These are parents who volunteer, no matter what the weather, and enforce rules for the sole purpose of keeping our children safe! I would encourage you to come in for a tour and judge for yourself.

I was a student myself at St. Timothy's. Over all, it was just terrible. Teachers were all mean, ALWAYS shouted to get the kids quiet, and ALWAYS threatened with demerits! Carpool ladies were really mean. One was crazy about following the rules, and screamed at my dad! All he did was drive us up closer to the school so we wouldn't have to walk as far! Pretty much all the kids there are really snotty, spoiled, and mean. No manners, nothing. They are really rude and a bunch of bullies. With the girls, there were ALWAYS "cliques" and popular groups. The uniforms were stupid. ESPECIALLY for the girls! St. Timothy's is really sexist. They let the boys get away with just about everything, they get to wear pants in the winter, and the poor girls have to wear SKIRTS! Girls didn't get as much as respect either. It was terrible! I'm now going to a public school where you can wear whatever you want, and I'm LOVING it WAY better than St. Tims. I left last year. Best thing I've ever done in my life. I had no friends, and it was just terrible. The lunches were also really bad. If you are reading this, please don't send your kids to this school. I got a demerit just for reading a book! Awful

Faith and academics are the focus at St. Timothy's. The math and science programs are comparable to other local schools, and additional enrichment is currently being developed. The language arts program at St. Timothy's is phenomenal. In our view, attending a school where learning and growing not just academically but also spiritually is invaluable. This is our 6th year driving over 20 miles each way to St. Tims because we strongly believe it is worth it.

I attended St. Timothy's School from kindergarten through 8th grade and I definitely enjoyed my experience there. I had met so many great people and have made friendships that have lasted throughout high school. I believe that this school prepared me well for the challenges that many may face with the transition from elementary/middle school to high school. The teachers taught me to be organized and to stay on task. Besides preparing me for high school, I believe that it created a strong foundation to be successful in life.
