Parents Perspectives

Joining the Celtic Family

Joining the Celtic Family

---We moved our daughter from the local public school and she could not be happier. It is a night and day difference. Honestly, we wish we would have enrolled her sooner. The staff is highly committed, caring and responsive to parent concerns. Homework is assigned daily and is actually reviewed and graded by a teacher. Grammar is taught daily. Use of cursive writing is expected. Computers and Spanish are part of the curriculum. There are MANY extracurricular and sports programs including band and choir. Your child will NOT be one of the masses here - rather the opposite. Student achievements are noticed, valued and celebrated by staff. There are no discipline problems in this school. If you are looking for a school with high academic standards and a staff who encourage the development of your child's potential in a controlled and respectful environment consider SASPs. The Catholic education is outstanding as well.
 
---We moved our son from a local public school to St. Al's/St. Pat's mid-year and it was the best decision we made for him. He was in first grade and struggling. He was stressed and would come home from school and sit in a dark room after school and cry because he couldn’t handle school. Every morning was a fight to get him to school. This was a 6 year old dealing with school induced stress and anxiety. We made a change after winter break and it was like night and day. He was excited to go to school; he was smiling again and was flourishing academically. He went from “considerably below average” academically with talks of him repeating 1st grade to perfectly normal and caught up in half a school year. Beyond that, I have my happy boy back and I owe it all to St. Al’s and St. Pats. This school is top notch with small classes and an amazing staff.
