School Reviews

This is a wonderful school with Amazing staff, they care about the child as if they are family. The programs are great, especially teaching Spanish at a very early age with music, art, computer, and gym. The environment is very safe, the learning process is fun and hands-on. The morning and aftercare cost is a fraction of what you may have to be in other places!!! aftercare clubs include craft, Lego robotics, coding, and even cooking. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking a safe environment for their child.
Endorse St. Agnes Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
