Our kids have done so well in Annunciation. This was their first year being in a school setting, and while the first couple of days were bumpy, their teachers kept working to make them feel comfortable. We love Annunciation because of the joint effort that goes into teaching our kids; even the principal, helped to get them acclimated! Since then, I am amazed at how much kids have learned. The teachers are so patient and work with each child on an individual level. They truly love our kids! What more can you ask for?!

A truly great school. Kids are challenged academically; but more importantly they are taught to treat each other with kindness and respect. No cliquish behavior. The school is Catholic; but it's really just Christian. Protestant families are happy there.
