This school has been amazing! We joined this school for kindergarten and they have been nothing but accepting! The homework that my child receives has been impressive. They focus so much on getting the kids to read and how Matt is equally important. They make my daughter want to come home and read and I love that she's already showing interest instead of saying away from it. I would highly recommend this school!

St. Symphorosa is a great school for my children. It is a warm welcoming place where students are challenged academically and provided with life skills and values. It is a diverse community that cares for the students and environment!

I could not be more pleased with St. Symphorosa. The staff truly cares about each and every child at the school. My son is in Pre-K and I am thrilled that he gets Math, Science, Reading, and Religion every day, plus computers, art, P.E., Spanish, and Music every week. The school truly feels like a community and you are family once you are there. I highly recommend St. Symphorosa!
