School Reviews

St. Clare's school offers stellar academics, one of the only schools with Education through Music Program and has a wonderful PTA. The school offers extracurricular activities and the sports teams are top notch. The teachers are caring and compassionate and the teaching is the same as all other catholic schools (including "schools that won awards for academics). The graduates of St. Clare's gain acceptance into schools like Bronx High School of Science and Preston.
I highly recommend the school and kids from as far as Yonkers send their kids to the school - THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!
