Testimonials

So our first few months have been excellent!!! Thomas loves his new school. Our experience thus far has been nothing but amazing!!!! 

Current Parent

The kids LOVE school!! I’m not just saying this, they come home all smiles. My husband and I can see a difference in their disposition. We are happy that they are happy! Thank you so much for checking in.

Current Parent

Beginning with our first visit to St Mary’s the staff was kind, friendly and open to helping our family answer all questions we had about moving from public school to private school during a pandemic. Each afternoon my children express the excitement of learning new things at St. Mary’s. They are challenged more with each subject, in addition to learning a new language and more about the Catholic religion! 
 
St Mary’s has truly grasped how to allow children to learn in-person with an in-person instructor while being safe and staying healthy during a pandemic. This has especially made our family confident in our decisions this year. 

Current Parent

I couldn't be more grateful to the St. Mary's community for creating such a warm and welcoming environment! The pandemic protocols that St. Mary's has thoughtfully put in place is truly impressive. We are SO happy we made the decision to join the St. Mary's community.

New Parent

I fully expect St. Mary's to be our school till the end of 8th grade. We love it.

New Parent

I want to say thank you to all of you for welcoming me into the St. Marys family with such kindness and open arms. The atmosphere of cooperation and care is wonderful and refreshing. The students are great! You all do a wonderful job with your classes. Thank you again for making me feel at home in your home.

New Faculty Member

Mr. Sanzone helped prepare me for high school because he encouraged dialogue in class instead of strictly having it be textbook-based.  He combined music and films in our class and often encouraged debate-style format.  He prepared me for the roundtable discussions that I love so much and I value my early exposure to it because of him.

The teacher who prepared me the most for high school would be my St. Mary’s English and Latin teacher. I still use what he taught me to this day!
