School Reviews

5  
Excellent and challenging academics along with an inclusive spirit among students made Maryknoll School a good choice for my 6th grade son. He adapted quickly with making friends, participating in CSAL basketball, and leveling up academically to the high expectations of his teachers. He has grown so much this year and we are looking forward to our continued journey as part of the Maryknoll School, Spartan community.
