NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had a positive experience during our first year at Alphonsus with our preschooler. He has grown so much in literacy and independence. I am comforted by the attention to detail with safety measures that the administration, teachers, and staff have in place. Our son loves to learn and has been exposed to hands-on, creative ways to learn during his first year in preschool.Parent Review1mo ago - St Andrew School

The education is excellent, the teachers are truly caring, and the sense of community is unmatched. We feel so fortunate to be part of a school where families, educators, and students genuinely support one another.
