I feel compelled to support the view of 5/16/09. There is very little warmth, or joy in more than a few staff and teachers, (especially at the youngest levels).

I feel compelled to write so that prospective parents are not dissuaded by the 5/16/09 review. I am a Kindergarten parent, and I am heavily involved with my daughter's education.

St. Martin of Tours Catholic School is an outstanding Elementary school. The teachers combine high expectations, TLC, and fun projects that the children respond to enthusiastically. My daughter loves going to school here and makes us wake up early so she can be one of the first students there! For
... Read more three years in a row, SMT has been ranked number one in the Archdiocese in Los Angeles. Not only are the children academically stimulated, but they are also encouraged to be well-rounded, spiritually responsive people.

The combination of the focused leadership of the principal, the tireless dedication of the parent body, and the outstanding guidance of the teachers, all create the groundwork for an environment where children can thrive, excel and enjoy.
