School Reviews

5  
My son graduated from Escuela de Guadalupe and is now attending Regis Jesuit High School. He is doing very well at his new school and I am certain it is due to the faith foundation and high academic standards that Escuela had on him that he is able to adjust and thrive in his new path. I am certain that my second child will also be very well prepared for transitioning into High School in the near future.
