School Reviews

Our youngest has been here since 2019 & SSCA is easily the best decision we ever made! The faculty is its best asset - they all genuinely care for the students and are fully invested in their growth as good humans. There`s a strong community & support for the kids in all grades not just academically, but personally. This is what I wish our oldest`s Catholic school education was like!
5 3/15/2022
We are halfway through our 2nd year here at SSCA and we couldn't be happier! My girls are now in the 2nd and 5th grades. We recently had our middle school orientation for next year and I was very impressed by the level of support my daughter will get as she transitions into big kid things. Middle school can be very challenging in so many ways, and they are right on top of it to make sure they transition properly. Every teacher is an absolute gift and the attention they give is unmatched!
5 3/8/2022
We have absolutely loved our experiences at SSCA!! My two boys are now in their 4th academic year, my youngest beginning in pre-school and my oldest beginning in Kindergarten. From the day we began with Essa we have been welcomed with warm arms. Our children`s teachers guide them, educate them, counsel them, pray for them, and pour their love into them. Being a smaller school, Essa has had the ability to cater to my son's ADHD needs and is always welcome to guidance and accommodations! We absolutely love Essa and would highly recommend it!!!

I am an alum, a class of 2000, and now a parent of a first-grader at SSCA. I was so pleased when my son was accepted to attend SSCA. I have been blessed to see how the teachers care for the students. The teachers pray for the students and I believe that prayer needs to be in schools. Academically, I was well equipped for college and later for a career. I attended Northeastern University and Newbury College and now work at a law firm as a paralegal. I see SSCA strive to provide the best education for the students while nurturing their faith.
