Not sure about the prior comment about some parents coming with a 'package'. One of our favorite things about the school is the parent community. We have made many friends and in general find the parent body to be warm, down to earth and invovled in their kids' lives. There are obviously always exceptions.
... Read more Most parents choose this school for a reason - the philosphy involves creating independant, responsible and ethical children. There may be other things to criticize, but the parent body would not be the thing I would choose. On the whole, in New York City, I believe St. Ignatius provides more bang for your buck than any other private school. Read less

St. Ignatius Loyola was the only school we applied for our daughter two years ago. She has had a wonderful time there with a caring environment and excellent academics. Save for the limited after-school programs St. Ignatius is as good if not better than many of the 'gifted and talented schools' in

St. Ignatius is a fantastic school for a very reasonable price considering the alternatives. The whole environment is structured to provide students with academic skills, integrity, honesty, courtesy, social skills, diversity and a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

The other kids are smart, funny and multi-cultural. I could go on and on but suffice it to say that since my son entered 3rd grade here, we have counted our blessings on a daily basis. He is entering 6th grade and is so enthused about school, jazz band, art class, and basketball. The individual attention and advocacy of all his teachers has made a huge difference in his life and ours as parents. Thank you St. Ignatius!! Read less

Fantastic for children and parents! We are grateful everyday that we chose this school for our child. It is hard to know where to begin. The teachers, the principal, the staff, the students, the parents, the curriculum, the extra-curriculum, all are contributing to make this school stand apart.
... Read more This is a school with an amazing environment of people who care. We went through the independent school process. And our child was accepted at a top school (first choice). We opted for St. Ignatius and have never stopped smiling. (Did I mention that the tuition is about 1/5 of the private schools!) The bonus is that the school has a strong religious character that pervades everything. It makes raising a child in New York so much simpler. All the values and grounding that you somehow hope and expect your child will internalize are taught and modeled everyday. I strongly recommend that you take a look. Read less
