Ignore the rude remarks about St. Bernard--it is an amazing school and I always trust the teachers and faculty. Mr. Fred Klausing isn't the best principal, but at least the teachers are better.

I have three children currently at St. Bernard aand next year i will have four there. It has been a wonderful school for my children. It is small enough that they get the attention they need but large enough to house several extra-curricular activities. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I have three children, two at St. Bernard, one that has graduated. I have been extremely satisfied with their education. Every teacher I have known would do anything to help my child.

I am very dissatissfied with St. Bernard. Fred Klausing, the principal, seems very unprofessional and irresponsible. The teachers are extreamly rude. The kids are allowed to just roam all over the school, and most of the time the doors of the school are unlocked and wide open. This school is definitly

I absolutely love St. Bernard. My husband and I moved our family from the St. Matthews area once I toured and spent some time in the school because we knew we wanted our child to grow up a s a part of the St. Bernard Family. That is exactly what it is...a family. Through both the Peace Builder and

Their academic program is excellent with high expectations at all grade levels. There are many programs and activities offered to the children at St. Bernard such as youth choir, band, art club, academic teams, and much much more. The teachers and staff are warm and welcoming and are always willing to help children and parents whenever needed. I highly recommend St. Bernard to anyone looking for a school for their child!

My two children currently attend St. Bernard and I couldn't imagine sending them off every morning to a better place to learn to become a well educated, well rounded, caring young adult. One of the most appealling things to me as we searched out a parish home for our family 6 years ago was the size

The school is large enough to sustain great programs inside & outside the classroom, yet small enough to foster a community atmosphere. The faculty and staff is amazing and is evident in the extremely low turnover rate of teachers- once they are at St. Bernard they stay! Oh- and another thing I love about St. Bernard are the facilities, an amazing new outdoor sports complex, a great school & seperate middle school building too! If interested you should definitely visit! Read less

I had two children at St. Bernard and I would like to warn parents about some things before they enroll their kids. First, there are many expectations that are not spelled out in the beginning. Bingo, committments, etc. Not until they get your money and you sign the paperwork are these things spelled

Much of it is busy work and does not seem to have academic value. St. Bernard seemed safe because of the location and tight nit community but the doors are often open when I go up particularly on mass days allowing anyone to walk in. Read less

My son attends St. Bernard and I can honestly say that this school has many positive qualities. I have never worried about my son's safety and the staff and teachers are very caring.

It really is a great program for fostering service of others. The curriculum is very traditional and homework, in our experience, is not excessive. There are lots of different sports programs, we are hoping that eventually they add a foreign language program. The school families I have met are very friendly and willing to help out when asked. I am very pleased with St. B, please come by for a visit. Read less

During the time my children have been at St. Bernard I have seen some things that make me wonder about the safety there. This really concerns me as a parent about my childs safety.
