Franklin Classical Middle School

I hadn't noticed St. Anthony's previously to be honest, even though it's a large beautiful historic church right across from MOLAA. We attend another church and had never considered sending our child to Catholic school before. However, when we didn't get any school of choice options in Long Beach, our God-send of a neighbor found St. Anthony's. I asked for a tour, and the principal herself, Ms. Kargas, responded to my email quickly and welcomed the chance to give us a tour of the school. She is very kind and on the ball. I immediately loved the smaller class sizes. I then met the seasoned kindergarten teacher and was sold! Her class is well organized and each child receives their own iPad for in-class use. The kids have music, Spanish and P.E. classes throughout the week, in addition to one short mass each week. Hot lunch is also available. Also, the whole schoo--including Kindergarten--is a full-day program, which is very attractive for working families. And the cost of tuition is what we were paying for half-day preschool! I'm so thankful we found this school family. I know our daughter is safe and well cared for, while receiving a quality education.
