Great school that offers extracurricular activities and uses a curriculum that works. I can say with confidence that my kiddo learned gained amazing knowledge at this school. She is advanced (for transitioning to a new school) and I couldn’t be more thankful for the teachers that helped her get to that point. All the teachers and staff are great people, they care about the students and go above and beyond to make it a great environment for the kids. They have cool events, fundraiser nights, and offer an amazing summer program as well. They also have lessons such as creative art, piano, dance, karate, etc., that the kids can sign up for and it’s a great opportunity for them to express themselves in those classes. Overall, it’s a great school.

St. Lucy school is a great school for a Catholic education. I love that it is small and family oriented with a faith based education.

If you are looking for a school where your children are not just students, but truly treated like family, Saint Barnabas is the place to be.Saint Barnabas’s mission is to provide a meaningful Catholic education and promote academic excellence for each student while creating a nurturing, respectful environment. Walking through their doors, you realize very quickly that these aren't just words on paper—it is a living, breathing reality every single day.From the very first moment, principal Kellam made us feel completely at home. You can tangibly see the profound love she has not only for education, but for the children and for God.Our journey with Saint Barnabas actually started in summer school with Ms. Mel, who did an absolute wonderful job teaching my daughter and helping prepare her for kindergarten, getting her ready for that next big step with so much care and encouragement.The standard of teaching across the board is exceptional, and I simply cannot speak highly enough of our kindergarten teacher, Ms. Sena, and her wonderful aide, Miss Vanessa. They poured so much genuine love into my daughter and played a massive role in shaping who she is today. The bond they share and the safe, nurturing environment they created gave her the confidence to truly blossom.I also have to give a huge shoutout to our incredible cheer coaches , Miss O and Miss Craig, who lead the after-school cheerleading program. They are fantastic with the kids, and winning the "Most Improved" award at a competition made my daughter feel so proud and accomplished!And I would be doing a massive disservice if I didn't mention Ms. Teramoto, who is quite literally the heart of the school. She is a friend to all of us parents , always ready to help make families feel welcome, and the gentle, comforting presence who is always there to bandage up a scraped knee with a loving touch.Saint Barnabas is so much more than grade-school academics; it is a vibrant, supportive community that builds fundamental learning blocks, confidence, and spiritual growth hand in hand.My absolute only regret is not bringing my daughter here sooner. If you are looking for a school where you are valued, respected, and treated like family, this is it. Everybody should send their kids here!
