Beechview Estates

The school is such a fun and inviting place, it literally looks like a castle! The school offers specials including Spanish, art, music, and physical education. There's an active PTO and family activities like a Halloween dance and a spring festival (KnightsFest).

Our children have attended Sands for a number of years and we always are impressed with what a welcoming, kind environment they get to learn in. The teachers are top notch.

I am a teacher and parent at Sherwood and it truly is a terrific place to be. The staff is caring, and the teachers use research based teaching strategies to provide the very best education for their students.

I am a parent of 3 children who went to MVCA from K-12th grade. Love flows through the halls and always has. The culture is one of CARE. The teachers and administrators genuinely love the students. They help students learn how to integrate their faith into both academic and everyday life. All 3 of our kids were well prepared for college and all pursuing their faith. As MVCA has grown, it has only gotten better (more AP classes, more/better sports teams, better theatre experience, better teachers, MORE opportunity!) We saw MVCA as an extension of our faith-based parenting. In todays societal culture where essentially anything goes, I can't think of a better investment for your kids!

Our daughter transferred to St. Ursula Villa this past year (2023) from another parochial school. The transition has been extraordinary and beyond what we ever imagined. Marta Runnels warmly welcomed us to the school and helped guide and lead us to our decision to transfer to our daughter. We asked so many questions and she was so kind and compassionate through the entire process!Our experience across the board has been incredible. From the leadership, starting with Principal Vance, the entire faculty team, and especially her classroom teacher(s) Mrs. Smith and Ms. Hass, to the after-care team led by Ms. Scherer. It has all blown us away. We immediately noticed a difference in our daughter's communication, social and intellectual development. The curriculum, specials and overall educational instruction has made such an impact on her! We are beaming to see her confidence and the pride in her work be so important to her. We also appreciate the ability to be involved with family projects, classroom and school-wide events. It is very evident that St. Ursula Villa's community within the faculty, and the amazing families we have met, have the best chemistry and unity a parent can ever ask for in their child's educational journey. We are so grateful to be a part of the St. Ursula Villa family. We are excited to watch and support our daughter's continued progress and development with SUV!

Amazing place and feeling you cannot describe. Unmatched community and support. Teaches your children things a public school cannot. Tons of activities like theater, STEM, art and sports.
