Willows provides an amazing balance of great education and a comfortable environment where girls can be themselves and grow. The teachers are great role models, the friendships the girls make are true and lifelong, and they graduate fully prepared for college both academically and as mature women.

I really enjoy the community! Everyone is so welcoming and caring! The teachers are always willing to take their time to help when you when you are struggling in their class.

This is barely a school. Its more like a cult than anything else. The same few rich white families that have been there for genetrations are basically in charge of the school behind the scenes. The school administration is controlling and will marginalize students who do not meet their perfect catholic standards.
