After a move to the area Nativity was recommended to us. Everything seemed good with the school initially; the principal & teachers were very nice. Our child was enrolled in the school at the end of the month around the 22nd. I enrolled in the payment program & received the tuition letter on the 10th

To add frustration I received an unprofessional phone call from the business manager chastising us for being late on a payment & stating that we needed to worry about our priorities. I was angry & disgusted by his tone & behavior on the phone; he was rude, unprofessional & condescending. The education piece of the school is acceptable, unlike the business side. Read less

Academically things seem ok but this school is very clickish. Everyone knows everyone and also knows everyone elses business. Parent involvement is encouraged as long as it does not challenge or question the system. If this happens your information is not kept confidential, it is obvious that everyone

My child was ostracized by other children, seemingly at the instruction of some parents and it seems that the vision of a christ-like atmosophere disappears suddenly if you are not basking in the glory of the school. I think that it lacks confidentiality and that because alot of the staff and parents grew up togther or live in the same neighborhood they cannot seem to make up their own minds about you. They take a situation that may not have been glowing for the school and ostracize you and possibly your child because of it. Tread Carefully! Read less
