School Reviews
5 2/15/2023
The Pre-K program is top-notch. Ms. Deedee is well-equipped to teach your child in fun and engaging ways about the early concepts of reading, math, and language. They are exposed to Spanish, science, art, music, P.E., and daily religion. I highly recommend this program, your child will enter Kindergarten and grade school fully prepared for harder concepts.
Endorse St. Michael School. 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
