The school offers 13 sports, multiple clubs and organizations, making it easy to find a new passion and get involved in school spirit.

Since it was an all girls school, I made connections with every single person in the school. The sisterhood will last forever.
4/24/2020
sisterhood. a sense of belonging. a home away from home. academic excellence. I feel extremely prepared for college.
2/28/2020
My overall experience as a student has not been great. From the administration to the students. The administration do not show they care. They walk around with attitudes and do nothing about our complaints. They let certain students get away with whatever.

St. Vincent's is not only full of tradition and rooted in it's Catholic principles, but also full of faculty, staff and administration that truly care about the students and families. The academics, sports and extracurriculars are top notch and competitive. For safety, there is an on campus officer...
5/5/2021
This school does not work with their students and discourages staff when these same students seek support. The best teachers at this school get crushed by the administration and it’s sad to see such a historical school being destroyed. Tradition isn’t everything and this school is being left behind...

Wanna talk about hell on earth! Send your daughter here. The way the administration disregards their students needs is absolutely deplorable. It is so upsetting to see such an upstanding historical establishment fall so far under this new administration.

My daughter is well prepared for college and has had four great years there. She will be attending one of the top universities in the country in the fall. SVA really empowers these woman to lead.
