I am a PK-4 parent new to the school for 2019-2020. My child has learned so much, and I am amazed at her faith development at such a young age. The teachers are kind, dedicated, and promote her academic growth in so many ways. I absolutely loved the Fairy Tale Ball and Thanksgiving Play. If you are looking for a school with values, character building, solid academics, and love; this is it.
