Shipman Hill

I have two kids at JFK and we love it. The teachers and staff are all so welcoming and caring to all the kids and the school itself is beautiful and very thoughtfully set up thanks to the renovations. They do a great job at tailoring the experience for kids with break out sessions based on what kids need (enrichment, extra support, etc). When my kid wanted more challenging work, the teacher came up with some extra projects that were super fun. Overall we've found it to be a welcoming, responsive, creative place.

With multiple children, we have been at St. Francis Xavier for many years. All of them started at age 4 in the Pre K program. It is a place that our children feel at home when they are not. All have thrived in this safe and secure school environment and were well prepared for the rigors of a preparatory high school. The teachers and administration all work together for the success of each student. The community at St. Francis is strong with participation from all families. It is a very comforting place to spend any extra hours you may have volunteering. St. Francis Xavier has a strong academic curriculum that includes Catholic faith, art, foreign language, music, STEM, digital learning and RECESS for all. We couldn't be happier to be part of this thriving school. If your child needs something more, check out this school. You will not be disappointed!
