St. Alphonsus Elementary School

Hello! I work here. Very wonderful, would positive.

My child has been a student at WSNO since 2017, and I am very pleased with the education that has been received thus far. Waldorf education is different from the traditional American-style curriculum, but is nonetheless, overall very effective. My child LOVES school and often tells me she wishes the day was longer. Academics are strong and the teachers are dedicated to their students and their work. They are also thoughtful and easy to communicate with if there is an issue. My child also loves and thrives with the integration of movement, the outdoors, and the arts into every academic subject. At WSNO, I feel that my child is becoming an inquisitive, life-long learner, which is, above all, what I hope for in education.Do note that WSNO is not necessarily well equipped to handle the needs of exceptional learners / those with learning differences.

I attended Trinity from pk-8th grade and absolutely loved it. The classmates I grew up with were more like family than friends and I still go back and talk to teachers I had in 1st grade. It is a loving and nurturing community and makes every kid feel welcome. Having switched to Newman in high school, I miss trinity's nurturing spirit even more. The pastoral life was also a wonderful part of the school, and allowed me to form my own opinion on religion. This is hands down the best lower/middle school in the state.

Hope Carr is the worst teacher at this school. I wouldn’t trust her to care for my pet, much less my child.
