St Joseph Catholic School

I went to Butterfield it used to be a great school. Now it’s full of bad teacher. Arrogant staff. Push over administrators who don’t actually do thier jobs and just makes excuses. They breed bullying well on paper promising you the take it very serially but the don’t. They actual only saving grace of Butterfield is the music teacher and the gym teacher beside that they really don’t care about your child. They still have a teacher thier that should have been fired in 2001 when I went there for what she did to me and the kids in my class yet she is still on staff. Don’t believe the show Butterfield puts on paper. They don’t actually care about you or your child they only care about public image. That’s coming from an alumni and current parent of a student!

As a parent of two daughters attending the Montessori School of Lake Forest, I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. From the moment we joined the community when both were toddlers, we felt welcomed and supported by both the staff and other families. The sense of community here is truly remarkable, fostering a nurturing and collaborative environment for both students and parents.The Montessori methodology employed at the school has been transformative for my daughters. They have become independent, critical thinkers who love to learn. The hands-on, student-centered approach has allowed them to explore their interests deeply and develop at their own pace. It's incredible to see how confident and self-motivated they have become.None of this would be possible without the exceptional teachers. They provide personalized attention and guidance to each child, acting not just as educators but also as mentors who genuinely care about the holistic development of their students. The emphasis on respect, responsibility, and community is evident in every aspect of the school's culture. Additionally, the beautiful campus offers ample outdoor learning opportunities, which my daughters thoroughly enjoy.There are several great schools in the area, but the Montessori School of Lake Forest has exceeded our expectations in every way. My daughters are curious, compassionate, and confident individuals because of the school. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful community and highly recommend this school to any family seeking a nurturing and enriching educational experience for their children.

St. John's Lutheran School is an exceptional educational institution as they offer a nurturing and strong Christian based environment. St. John's emphasizes academic excellence while promoting and integrating spiritual growth in all aspects of learning while reflecting their commitment to innovative technology in education. With dedicated teachers and a focus on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, I strongly believe each student is well-prepared for future success. St. John's is a community where families feel connected, supported, and loved while focusing on the character development of each student thru strong Christian values. I'm so grateful to have found St. John's Lutheran School for both of my daughters.
