I am in complete agreement with the parent who had the courage to post his/her comments on Feb. 15, 2008. It was with great surprise and disappointed that I as a parent could not share an ELC field trip experience with my child and was assigned to a different group. Nor am I allowed to visit or help

in my child's ELC classroom. If some parents do not mind being in a different group than their child, their view point should be respected - but for those of us parents who would like to experience the few Pre-School field trips that our children go on we should be allowed to do that. It is such an uncomfortable feeling that when I saw something my child would like on the trip, I couldn't tell him/her because they separated us on the field trip. Please change this policy St. Nich.

The true benefit of a St. Nicholas education is that the positive effects last not just through secondary school and college, but manifest themselves even more upon a graduate's entry into the 'real' world as an adult. Shortly after graduating college and starting my first professional job, I realized

that the basic skills and values I took for granted (i.e. budgeting my time, a strong command of the English language, concern for others) were not always evident in my peers' work. These skills and values had all been developed at St. Nicholas. Not only that, but my high standard of what constituted good work, also developed at St. Nicholas, was surprising even to my bosses, and resulted in quick promotions and continued professional success. I can only hope to find a school of equal calibur for my children in our current home of Washington, D.C. Read less

Coming to St. Nicholas from another respected elementary school I've learned that St. N. is a school that teaches children top academics respecting each child as an individual as to learning style/pace. They are taught to care about those around them or those halfway around the world. Chapel begins their

day with a focus, they learn to be part of a larger group but also how alone they can make a difference. The integrated school brings together spanish, art, music, science, math & language arts. My graduate learned that she is capable. She was accepted in all schools applied to. I feel she was well prepared in all subjects. St. N. teaches the whole child so they learn to look within themselves to find their drive, determination, compassion, creativity, accountability. St. N. teachers care. I have 1 child still at St. N. & cherish every day! Read less

I am a parent who periodically checks this site out of curiousity. I have had 3 children graduate from St. Nicholas and another is going through. I cannot imagine a greater place. It disturbs me to read negative reviews because each situation is different. A blind review is just that - a blind review.

As for my experience, 100% of children applying to the secondary schools were granted admission - that is not something other elementary schools can boast. The children are very well prepared - a statement which can be verified by any admissions officer in the next schools. I just wanted to go on record in saying what a stellar experince my children have had and to remind readers that every school will have people who love it or who had a harder time, it just depends on who is taking the time to rate and review.

Only now, two years after leaving St. Nicholas, has my child caught up with kids from other public and private schools. St. Nicholas did a pretty good job on Science, Math, and Art, but a poor job on reading comprehension, grammar, and language skills in general. There is too much emphasis on Social

Studies at the expense of basic grammar, writing, spelling, and reading. In retrospect, I regret sending my child there and would have chosen another school like Bright or St. Peter's if I had it to do over again. Kids from those schools have smoked mine, and only now has the gap closed. Read less
