She always puts the well being and safety of the students as priority #1. The new learning systems are phenominal for reading and math.

St. Anthonys is a small Faith based School. The teachers and principal have the knowledge of knowing each and every student and his /her parents by name. This is a great asspect when looking into a school for your child. I did however find some problems with this school that I didn't like.

However, in addition to PE, they also have Wellness class (with plenty of exercising) weekly, which is great. Read less
