St. Vincent De Paul School

We started at SVDP in 2019. Previously our kids attended a public school in Osseo. There is no comparison in the quality of education our children receive at SVDP compared to the public school. Additionally, from the very beginning, we were welcomed by the school, teachers, staff, and other parents. Furthers, there is zero tolerance for bullying at this school which was one of our big issues at public school. My only regret is that we didn't start our children at SVDP in kindergarten.

The kids at Saint Vincent DePaul Catholic School in Brooklyn Park are bullies. They have been constantly picking on my son. My husband and I have talked to the Principal and the teachers and it seems like no body is doing anything about it. You would expect that kids wouldn't use filthy language when they are attending a religious school. But they talk trash all the time. And also the kids are inappropriate and unruly. We had high expectations when we sent our son to this Private School but only to find out it isn't what it portraits to be. You have to be a certain class or a talker even for the parents to fit in with the other parents or any any adults in that school. The kids have been making fun of my son on even where my family goes grocery shopping, what brand of phone I am (his mother) is using, what kind of car I am driving, and where we live or the size of our house and the brand of shoes he is wearing. I can go on and on. This happens to be a so called Catholic institution that's supposed show empathy for all children and treat them fairly but it is totally opposite. I am greatly disappointed in this school. No kid should go through what my son went through.

Both of my kids love it, we've been at 2 other schools before. This is the best by far.

Our children have been here since kindergarten. It has been a joy to see them supported in all ways of their life, and to grow from timid 6 year olds to confidant teenagers. Where to send our children to school was a big choice for us. We can honestly say, this has been one of the best choices we have made for our children.

We just moved to Brooklyn Park and chose St Vincent for our 3 young children. The school community & church are very friendly. Our children have been working hard and doing well so far. They are generally happy to go to school each day. Enrichment opportunities, sacramental preparation, and sports activities are numerous and of good quality. I would give them 5 stars except that class sizes are too large. I would prefer to pay more in tuition and hire additional teachers.
