This school is horrible . They put our grandson who is autistic on a bus even though his parents were picking him up . Their child was missing for half an hour . They didn’t know where he was . Parent’s worst nightmare .

Our family moved to Harford county from out of state where my daughter did her first two years of elementary school at another Montessori program. Transitioning to Bridges was a BREEZE for her! It was so nice for her to be able to jump right into materials, academics, and social structures that were familiar to her when her whole life had been flipped upside with the move. Testing doesn't tell the whole story, but I watched my daughter's MAP testing scores skyrocket, specifically with Math. She was already a very advanced reader, but the upper elementary guide apparently unlocked math for her as well! She's now performing (on a test for whatever that's worth) well above grade average. Her two younger siblings are also at bridges and thriving in the lower elementary program and the transitional program. It's so nice that all three kids can land at the same location without any daycare, school, daycare/after school babysitters shuffle.

Immaculate Conception has been a phenomenal experience for our family. Class sizes are small, ensuring my children receive individualized attention. The academic rigor is preparing students for the future, and I see my children rise to the occasion. The community aspect is amazing - sports, clubs, and activities that my kids can do, which helps them form strong friendships, and allows us to connect with other parents at the school. My children are developing a moral compass that will guide them through life, and framing everything in a Christian perspective has made all the difference.

Administration is not supportive of the parents. Expectations depend on who you are.

St. Ursala's is not a school, it is a conformity and indoctrination machine. If your child has any individuality, they will try to strip them of it and indoctrinate them in their religious ideology. I attended St. Ursala's and other catholic schools and I can tell you from first hand experience that they have fallen considerably in quality and morallity. A child brought live ammunition to schools and they said it was okay and safe because it was not a firearm. A member of the church community made threats about attacking people with a lead pipe at the school to "defend his faith" and they said not to worry becasue no threat was really made. The staff's only concern seems to be indoctinating your child into their ideology.
