School Reviews
| 5 St. Henry School is a wonderful place in so many ways. My daughter transferred in middle school and we were all nervous at how that would go. We immediately felt embraced by the community of parents, students and teachers. The classes are leveled and perfectly challenging; the teachers are loving, the Dominican sisters are a presence I wish we had enjoyed earlier in my children's life. They have Promethean boards in the classrooms and seem to always be looking for ways to advance the educational experience of the students. And, when we were forced to go remote for the end of 8th grade due to the COVID19 pandemic, the move was as if they had planned it for months. Learning continues, challenging and engaging as always. Then, they went above and beyond to make this graduating class feel celebrated. One of the first school parades in the city of Nashville. I think they may have started the trend! We love SHS! - Posted by Parent - Parent of 2020 grad |
