Read what parents are saying about School of St. MarySending all 3 of our children to the School of St Mary has been one of our best decisions, and we have never regretted our choice. The teachers are truly outstanding and care about each child in such an unbelievable way. I know that when my children are at school, they will be happy and loved. They are thriving academically given the rigorous instruction they have received. Even more importantly to us, they have grown into kind, respectful, inclusive friends and their faith formation has been extraordinary. I cannot say enough great things about this school! It is truly one of our greatest blessings.
Posted by a parent on 11/4/2019Our three children have been at School of St. Mary for two years now, transferring in from another Catholic School. St. Mary's teachers, staff and administration have proven time and time again to go above and beyond to teach, help, nurture, and love our children. Class sizes are small. Teachers inspire, encourage, and challenge. Curriculum is excellent. The school is a team where expectations are consistent. We could not be happier or have more pride in our school, church, and Crusader family!
Posted by a parent on 2/24/2018My daughter has attended the School of St. Mary for the past four years. We could not be more pleased with the teachers and the education she receives. The faculty is top-notch and she has excelled with the curriculum. In addition, she has been given leadership and speaking opportunities starting in pre-school. The School of St. Mary teaches Values for Life.
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2018The academics were probably great in the upper levels but we were not very impressed with the 3-year-old pre-kindergarten program. It was very play-based and we were surprised the introduction of letter writing and recognition was not started until the 4-year-old program. The teachers were wonderful but the program did not fit our needs. There was also some time devoted to parent coffees geared towards ensuring your student would stay at the school for future years which was not helpful for us as a military family who would be moving on from that school.
Posted by a parent on 1/28/2017Our child has been attending the School of St. Mary for the past 7 years and we are extremely impressed with the high level of communication by the teachers and administration. Our daughter loves school, is learning a great deal about her faith, as well as values, morals and academics. We are thrilled she is attending a Blue Ribbon School where student achievement scores must be in the top 15% of the nation in order to apply for the Blue Ribbon recognition. Our friends who have had children attend Loyola Academy and Lake Forest High School have shared with us that their children were well prepared academically for high school. Most importantly, though, their students left the School of St. Mary with values for life. We are thrilled with the education our child is receiving. Thanks, SOSM!!!

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith three children currently enrolled in Sheridan school, I find we are continually impressed with the curriculum, teacher enthusiasm, effective teaching strategies, student to teacher ratio and parent involvement. Sheridan highly encourages active involvement from families and regularly keeps us apprised of student progress. There is a tangible commitment to the social, academic and civic development of the children at Sheridan.Parent Review7y ago - Dearhaven Childcare & Learning Center

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRecent administrative changes have resulted in great improvement of the district overall. The district's Covid-response plan was the best of any district in the area. The new Director of Student Services is a huge improvement from the previous administrator. Some educational programming definitely needs to be updated, but overall this district is moving in a positive direction.Parent Review3y ago - School of St Mary Primary Center
