After a couple of years at the school it is like anything else, some great benefits and some concerns. It is a pretty tightly run ship which can be beneficial in some ways, but unfortuntaley input from the teachers is discouraged and many of the great ones leave. It seems that the 'old-school' catholic

In the same regard, we have been happy with the curriculum and feel that our children are protected and learning in a safe environment. Hopefully the principal will learn not to speak to parents like children and allow more input from her amazing teaching staff. Or she will retire. Should have kept the asst principal who helped soften her style and promoted enrichment for advanced students. Read less

Principal is authoritarian. It's her way or the highway. No services for kids needing extra help. No services for advanced students. Completely aimed at the average student. Average class size is 32 students per class with one teacher. Safety issues abound because of extremely large class sizes
... Read more teachers have a hard time keeping track of students. Very little parent involvement because of principal's need for total control. Many excellent teachers have left here out of frustration. We pulled both of our kids out of this school and are much happier. Don't consider this school unless you have an average child and don't expect any individual attention. Read less

From what I see only parents are writing reviews & people aren't getting a students point of view. Well, when I went to CTT I did recieve great education but, I felt as though I was sheltered from the world and my actions were being dictated. Or some children were being penalized for something that ever
... Read more other child was doing also. If you want your child to have a great education, but be 'brained wahsed' (as some people say) then send your child to CTT.I was yelled at for the smallest things & even if i didn't do anything i was still penalized. From what I hear, the rules have just increased, & they are 'ridiculous'. When I graduated from CTT I said to my parents that I would only miss some people, definitly not the place. Read less

Our first year at CTT and we are thrilled. I am surprised anyone would be disappointed with a school that provides a safe haven for faith-based education with an administration and staff that are intelligent, caring and focused. I appreciate the structure provided by an active principal that encourages
... Read more respect for rules and sacraments. Children and parents are respected and this fairly young school continues to actively develop additional programs for athletic and academic stimulation. My husband and I love the PowerSchool features and the communication through emails, newsletters & message center. The teaching staff stimulates the children in creative, challenging and thoughtful ways. My kids previously attended another catholic school in the Wilmington Diocese and both are very happy with CTT. Neither feel repressed or have expressed any issues with the school being too restrictive. CTT excels at the goals of a faith-based private school. Highly recommended. Read less

School newspapers, student coucils, social events for parents ? Get real. 'Swamp smells'. Do you mean the wetlands area, a great on-hands science resources at the back of the parking lot, but never does it smell. Homework load is fairly balanced. Kids walk the halls in quiet lines, reflective of

As to less than mediocre teaching staff one only has to look at the Terra Nova Test Scores (see the school web page About-> Curriculum). Across the board, students scores are 2 to 4 grade levels above the national average. This is reflective of the quality staffing, special resources for both gifted and challenged students, and a caring learning environment. Isn't this what we send our kids to achieve? Balanced learning with religion and social opportunities. Read less

Two of my three children attended Christ the Teacher. My middle child graduated in 2006 and my youngest is in the 5th grade. Our family has found that this is more than a school it is a community. The teachers are very dedicated to helping each child reach their goals. The school lacks for nothing.

Each day starts with every student assembling for prayer, and the pledge which the students then apply through many service projects either individually, as a class or with their 'prayer buddies'. The school offers many activities such as band, choir, theater, art club, public speaking, writers club, math and science olympics, scouts, peer leadership, as well as CYM sports. I can't imagine life without this school. Read less

When I visited this school of sorts I was very saddened due to the depressing countenance of the students roaming the halls, in the classrooms and eating in the cafeteria. I was disgusted by the amount of homework the children had, which was on the whiteboard in the classroom. The repulsing aroma of
... Read more the 'swamp' at the school was horrible and unacceptable. I pondered for hours thinking 'How can these students stand it?' The school uniforms were what I'd consider to be...interesting. The teachers were less than mediocre in every imaginable way. The decor of the halls was puzzling, one wonders why the faculty chose ducks as the motif. The chapel was a hovel of sadness and pain. Also, the way they took care of an iguana, turtle and small fish was appalling and brought tears to my eyes. I was impressed with the following few items: ~gardening ~upkeep of brick ~aroma of cinnamon Read less
