School Reviews
| 5 We are so happy to have found Sacred Heart Cathedral School! Our daughter went to St. John Neumann from pre-K through 1st grade. We were looking for something more spiritual and for teachers that would look at the child individually not as a group. Amazing family and school community. The teachers and staff care about your child individually and every interaction is with care and compassion! It has been a great fit for us! - Posted by Parent - Kasia |
| 5 A very warm and nurturing family atmosphere. We love the STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, arts, math) curriculum. A wonderful school with great teachers and organized programs. Both of our boys enjoy the sports and music activities. - Posted by Parent - Vanessa Lake |
