I love the learning environment at Nativity. As an older parent, it took me a while to adapt to the non traditional learning environment. If fact my son was the catalyst to turn my thinking around as it relates to a new style of learning. The small class (school) size creates a family atmosphere that allows the students to hold each other responsible foe their academic and social success.
