We have been at this school for 10+ years now and have been very pleased. The education is top notch and the faculty is attentive to each student. Our children were fully prepared for High-school and explored various extra curriculars during their time at St. Susanna. We value the sense of community more than anything. We've always felt welcome in the school and love that they offer many opportunities to come together and bond as a class or as a school.
