Our family has had a wonderful experience at St. Jeanne de Lestonnac. My son started in 1st grade after attending public school for TK and Montessori for preschool, and the transition was incredibly smooth. The teachers are kind, supportive, and truly invested in their students’ growth, both academically and personally. With their support, my son is now performing above grade level and feels confident in the classroom.My daughter began preschool at St. Jeanne after attending Montessori at ages 2 to 3, and she has absolutely thrived. She is happy, engaged, and clearly well prepared for kindergarten next year. Beyond academics, the sense of community really stands out. Families are welcoming, and there is a strong partnership between teachers and parents. Having had positive experiences in Catholic school myself, it is meaningful to see my children receiving the same strong foundation in faith, character, and learning. We feel very grateful to be part of the St. Jeanne community.

When I started researching schools for my first child, I had a long list of requirements: a Mandarin immersion program (culturally important to us), strong safety protocols, happy and stable teachers, and a philosophy of raising respectful global citizens—not just checking boxes for academics. I asked every question I could think of, from how they handle sickness to how teachers are supported, and I observed everything from class ratios to daily routines. We visited several schools, but ultimately chose Frontiers, and I’m so glad we did. The difference was clear: attrition among instructors was low, and my son’s teacher had been there for many years. To me, happy teachers = happy kids. From the start, the staff were warm, communicative, and professional. I’ve been consistently impressed by their attention to detail, safety standards, and how thoughtfully they care for each child. Beyond the nurturing environment, the academics are truly top-notch. It's a trilingual school so teaches in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. The curriculum is rigorous; I love that my son is being challenged intellectually while also building confidence, creativity, and curiosity. What gave me peace of mind is knowing my child is not only in a stable environment but also one where learning is engaging, meaningful, and sets a high bar. Communication has been excellent—I always feel in the loop. I’ve seen firsthand that the children are thriving, not only in Spanish or Mandarin but in all aspects of their development. If you’re a parent who values stability, honesty, safety, and outstanding academics in a school culture where teachers are genuinely happy—Frontiers stands out. It checked every box on my list.
