East Elementary School

Our family has had such a positive experience at Aspen Academy. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed into a community that truly values not just academic excellence, but also character, leadership, and kindness.What stands out most is how much the teachers genuinely care about each student. They take the time to understand each child’s strengths and help them grow with confidence. The small class sizes and supportive environment make a big difference, allowing kids to feel seen, heard, and encouraged every day.We also love the focus on leadership and real-world skills it’s inspiring to see students learning how to think independently, collaborate with others, and develop a strong sense of responsibility.Beyond academics, Aspen Academy feels like a family. The sense of community among parents, teachers, and students is something truly special, and it creates a nurturing environment where children can thrive both personally and academically.We are incredibly grateful to be part of this community and would highly recommend Aspen Academy to any family looking for a well-rounded and caring educational experience.Family Turner Torres

Quality leadership and staff-High teacher retention and quality academics, faith formation and safe environment

My kids have been attending St. Mary since preschool. There have been some hurdles in recent years as others have mentioned (replacement of playground, which took too long, some difficulties with the strict Mass uniforms on Fridays) but overall, no school is perfect and we love this school. The teachers and staff are thoughtful and effective. My kids enjoy school, which says a lot. The homework starting in 1st grade is relatively rigorous, I could do for less so that time at home is more relaxed, but it has helped the kids understand their responsibility in their education starting young. The best part of St. Mary's is the community- many parishioners attend the school and you can feel that there is something special in it all. There is excellent family involvement in the school. I wouldn't choose another place to support my kids growing and learning in an environment of like-minded, yet diverse, students, teachers, and staff all in a place where faith and virtue are center.

St. Mary Catholic Virtue School has been an incredible blessing for our family. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the warmth, faith, and genuine care that the staff and teachers pour into their students every single day. The school beautifully blends strong academics with character formation, helping students grow not just in knowledge, but in virtue, confidence, and compassion.The teachers are dedicated, patient, and deeply invested in each child. They communicate clearly, support students at all levels, and create a safe, encouraging environment where kids truly thrive. The faith-centered atmosphere is woven naturally into daily life—students learn to lead with kindness, responsibility, and respect.The sense of community at St. Mary is unmatched. Families feel welcomed and involved, and the school’s events, Masses, and traditions create wonderful shared moments. It’s a place where children feel known, loved, and supported.We are so grateful for St. Mary Catholic Virtue School. It’s more than just a school—it’s a foundation for faith, lifelong learning, and strong values. Highly recommended to any family looking for an exceptional Catholic education!
