For a Catholic school, this school goes opposite from what God had taught us. Favoritism, bully (not by other students but from teachers), lies (from teachers to cover up for each other or their favorite)! We all paid he same amount tuitions, but yet some kids got treated with better privileges than others. We sent our kids there and even referred others people in a believe that this school will bring good education to our kids. Ended up the teachers are siding with each other and labeled a kid as "trouble student" without giving the students a fair chance to prove themselves. Especially they listened to a teacher that told her students that she's only there for money... not passion! We understand it's not easy to be a teacher (trust me we have enough people in our family that are in child development and education major so we understand the hardship). That's why we always have the utmost respect to teachers, but the behaviors of these teachers made us sick! Our children are now not only afraid of speaking up for themselves (because the teachers always put the blame and accused the students that spoke up or told on bad behaviors), but our children's mental health took a toll as well. Our children now have panic/anxiety attack every morning before school and we have to seek for professional help. Our kids need to see professional therapist to help treat this problem because of all the bully and mental abuse our kids got from this school. We paid for private education so our kids would receive better education, but ended up the education our kids received is no different than public school. I really recommend for you to look around and check feedback from parents that actually have kids attending to this school with no family history of potential favoritism for candid feedbacks. Yelp reviews are deceiving as it did fooled us. Ever since the old principle left, the school hasn't been the same and it's nearly impossible to meet with the new principal. They even violated human rights by not allowing the kids to get water during hot summer day nor use the restroom during class!!! In fairness, the 1st grade teacher and an office admin staff are phenomenal. They were the reason we kept our kids there longer and hope for the better… but I think we all lucked out.

My daughter transferred to St. Bede as a 2nd grader. The welcome the school body and staff gave us was so warm it made our family, especially my daughter, instantly feel so at home in the school and church communities. The teachers and staff held my daughter's hand as she transitioned to a new school with a nurturing environment.

St. Bede is an amazing school. My son is growing in intellect and faith everyday. The school faculty members care deeply about the health, safety, and educational excellence of the students. I highly recommend this school.

My son has been attending St.Bede's Catholic School since he was in 4th grade. He gained so much knowledge, faith & friends at this school. Im my years of experience with this school & staff , I have been so happy. I felt safe leaving my child in the care of the staff of St.Bede. They have been equally attentive to their students. They maintained the cleanliness and safety of the children in their community. The flow and organization of traffic was well organized. The classrooms were well lit and well maintained.All in all I have been blessed that during the course of child's stay at St.Bede I have been satisfied and happy. Thank you

As a faculty member of St. Bede Catholic School, I am proud to write a review for our school. To begin with, our students are one-of-a-kind: bright, kind, thoughtful, creative and compassionate. Additionally, they continually challenge the world around them with their unique perspectives and are able to effectively communicate those ideas in a way that not many elementary and middle school students are able. With our small class sizes, students are able to have an unique learning experience where one-on-one teacher instruction is possible - questions and mistakes are encouraged. Our staff is beyond dedicated and are entirely committed to the students and to making our school better in every way. This year, we implemented a one-to-one laptop program (5th-8th grade) which has encouraged students to take ownership in their learning, advocate for themselves (with nightly emails to teachers) and has allowed the staff to challenge them in a way we were unable to prior. Next year, we hope to have iPads in the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms as well. Truly a unique learning experience for our young people! If you hope for a kind, thoughtful, clever and inquisitive child - St. Bede is for you!
