We have loved our experience at Queen of Peace. It's been academically challenging for our child, and we appreciate the excellent offerings in art, music and physical education. The school has nice smaller class sizes and we appreciate the focus on developing the whole child - academics, ethics, responsibility, and kindness. It's firmly rooted in the Catholic faith, but is open and welcoming to all - it has never felt odd to not be Catholic as a family here. Great school.

Can't do any better than this incredible school. Your kids don't get lost in the shuffle of too many students and the staff genuinely care about each and every kiddo! Then for the kids to learn more about God each and every day on top of getting a top-notch education?! It's the BEST!
