The school will definitely challenge you in ways that your child has likely not encountered before; I certainly had never been challenged in those ways. There were some issues some of my peers had with different teaching methods, but I overall had a fine experience there, and I believe it really shaped me.

What I cherished most with regards to Saint John Paul the Great is the scholastics. Being in a school private academy has most certainly tested me from various perspectives. The educators are stunning thus reassuring all through the entirety of my years in secondary school. Our bioethics program and Dominican sisters are what makes our school so exceptional from others and challenge our brains enormously. Everything about every understudy makes our school ver exceptional and a very close community.

This school prepares students for college and life. They really care about the formation of the whole person. Students learn to be engaged with their peers and their environment because they are not on their phones during school time.

I graduated in 2012 and had a good experience overall. No matter what you hear from others, private school education is much better than public in most areas. I am grateful my parents decided to send me here and recommend others do the same. Your child/children will get a solid dose of college prepa...
