This elementary school provides an excellent learning environment with dedicated, tenured teachers who bring experience and stability to the classroom. The school’s management is generally effective, fostering a positive and well-organized atmosphere. The facilities are well-maintained and in good condition, creating a comfortable space for students to learn and grow. Additionally, the school boasts a diverse student body, promoting inclusivity and cultural awareness. Most importantly, I always felt that my children were safe here, thanks to the school’s strong emphasis on security and student well-being. Overall, a great choice for families seeking a supportive and high-quality educational experience.

My eldest child started at this school when she turned 2 years old in the Young Children's Community. She recently entered the Lower Elementary after completing Primary. My youngest child has attended this school since 6 months of age (in the Nido) and is now in the Primary classroom. The teachers and administration at this school are very attuned to the needs of each child and work to develop the whole child. Teachers provide regular formal conferences and in my experience have always been welcoming of informal conference requests. I love how much time all the children spend outside each day, the mixed age classrooms, and that each classroom fosters development of intrinsic motivation within each individual child. Each classroom is rich with learning materials and designed to be used independently by the children. The school also fosters a sense of community with families, offering informal gatherings and formal events for families throughout the year.

Saturday evening's annual Mary of Nazareth School Gala was yet another testament to the incredible things happening at our school every day. The more than 350 people in attendance proud to be a part of this great community and committed to its ongoing academic and spiritual excellence. We feel blessed to be led by Mr. Friel, our principal, and his assistant principal, Mrs. Schultz. Thanks, MON, for such an amazing evening!

My son was there for two years. 3s and Pre-K. We are from Spain so English is his second language (we came to the US when he was 2).At Pre-K during January the teacher recommended us to keep him one more year at Georgetown Hill as Kindergarden was going to be overwhelming for him and a feeling of failure would invade him. Well, they had 5 more months to make him be at the right level but they simply gave up on him. Maybe, they were just interested in have one more client, on more year or they are just not in the mood to work harder and make him be at the same level (my guess, the teacher should be retired) So, I taught him what they couldn`t (or wanted). One day, one of the assistant teachers told my husband "whatever you are doing with him, it is working". I just taught him letters and how to read them. Just what they didn't do at school. This year, 2019-2020, he has been in Kindergarden, he has been happier than ever. He got a P (profiency) on everything. I would not recommend this school.
