I am perplexed by some of the reviews left here by parents. I am a graduate of SVA who went to college on a basketball scholarship and am currently finishing my masters. Along with my basketball scholarship, I was offered 2 softball scholarships and was able to choose from among 3 good colleges. I

Students themselves must take initiative and realize to some extent your school is what you make of it. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years at SVA, but I made the most of it. I knew people who complained their high school years away . I got involved and loved it. Sheila Read less

I just can't believe the 'turn the other cheek' approach SVA is taking to the issue of security. My student came home with two amazing, jaw-dropping tales yesterday. We really need to not only what is going on but what are they doing? No more walking the dog, focus on the real issues.

St. Vincent's was once a wonderful place for young women to not only get an excellent education, but grow and thrive. While there are still many wonderful teachers gracing the halls, there are far too many who are not so wonderful. Many do not adhere to the schools mission statement and have forgotten

The arts program is pretty good, that is, if you can fit it into the ever changing block scheduling. The school still supports various outreach programs and has an active volunteer student body. The best part of this school would have to be the students! Wonderful girls seeking an education in an environment built for them to fail!!! Read less
