I love the school the teacher is nice and class is nice l knowing a lot of things.

I attended St. Patrick's School when I was in the 6th and 7th grade. I got the best education there was back then. I really enjoyed going to school everyday. Every Mondays we would have assembly and the principal reminded us, every chance she had, that we were special ("Special" People as individuals). I wished I did graduate there at St. Patrick's but unfortunately my family had move to Samoa. I had a great experience there at the school and I would send my children there, if I had any. So I highly recommend this school. -Mary Ross

Highly recommend this school. My children love it. The program is well-balanced and challenging. They have a variety of elective classes for each extracurriculum area. My children were excited to select what they wanted for elective. The world language program uses Rosetta Stone so my chldren used the program even at home. They have several on-line books that are used in school and at home. I would recommend this school
