I started my son here UPK 2011, kindergarten... now he is in 3rd grade. The teachers are great. I have strong support in this school. I lost my husband recently, and the whole school community was there to support my son and my family. They did above and beyond to make sure that they are there all the way with us during this difficult time. Starting from Mr. Lowenberg to my son's 3rd grade teacher Ms. Rivera. and from his previous teachers and staff. Amazing extended family. My son is now thrilled to be part of this school. Education is the best. Best teachers you can ask for, the whole school community. I certainly would recommend anyone to send their child here.

I was a student and graduated in 1958. I didn't know at that time how lucky I was surrounded by the parents and nuns, who molded me and got me through even though I was no student. Thanks to all of you especially Sr. Ellen Steven who helped me finally get accepted to Brooklyn Prep. high school where the Jesuits helped finish my education. I do not know if the sister Ellen Steven is still there I wish I could thank her. Henry Chiarkas
