We have been at St. Jeanne's 6 years. The school has provided a safe and faith centered community. The classes are small and the teachers are dedicated. The education is superior.

Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac gave me a great foundation of values and skills that has allowed me to succeed in my years after St. Jeanne. As an alumna of the school, St. Jeanne's well-rounded education rooted in the Catholic faith helped guide me both academically and personally. The curriculum emphasizes not only core subjects but also character development, ensuring students are prepared for higher education and life beyond the classroom. The strong community of St. Jeanne's also fosters bonds with families and classmates that last a lifetime. I am forever grateful for the wonderful education and memories I received at Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School.

Great school. They use common core curriculum and keep religion separate from other subjects. I was concerned there would be an over influence of faith, but the teachers are all lay-persons and school is welcoming to all faiths. Exclusive use of iPads, no paper or pencils, including at the kindergarten level - children are well prepared for the future of technology.

Both of my daughters went to St. Jeanne`s and received and excellent intellectual, moral and integral education. They have maintained their friends and teacher contacts throughout their college years and I am so gratified that they were able to attend this school. My recommendation could not be higher.

Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School offers a nurturing environment for its students.  The small class sizes and appropriate use of technology enable teachers to truly individualize learning.   As a Catholic school, values and character are as much a part of the curriculum as academics, and students are encouraged to be well rounded through participation in extra curriculars like sports and drama.  Saint Jeanne's graduates are young men and women of character and achievement.

Great school. We love the Sisters and the faculty. The school offers so much in terms of curriculum, challenge, and technology. We are so happy to be part of this great school.
