Stella Maris Academy St. John's Campus

Unfortunately this school has gone downhill the past 2 years due to ineffective leadership that fails to put educational needs first. Curriculum is not followed by some teachers and the principal doesn’t enforce the rules or requirements. IEP’s are not always followed. Bullying mentality is rampant throughout administration and among some teacher, which flows over into the student body.

Our son has been attending for about the last 6 months. He had a rough start with the transition at 16m old but the staff were incredible and didn’t give up on him. They helped us help our son with the transition to his new school and now he is excited to be there! He is picking up after himself, working on self dressing, potty training, and even cleaning up after meals! (And he’s just about 2 now). Teachers are very responsive and on top of putting the daily activities and updates in the app, and they definitely see parents as a team member. I can’t say enough good things about MSD. I would recommend to anyone. It may be pricier than other places in the area but it’s WORTH IT.

My son was 16 months when he started here. I was a terrified first-time mom, and was worried about sending him to a school-like setting too young. Turns out it is one of the best things that has ever happened to him! He is now 19 months old, and gets so excited when we get to school every day! He LOVES his teachers (Ms. Alisha and Sammy!) , and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day- which is what every mom wants to see in a school. His teachers really love and care for him, and give me details about his day and his learning. They send out a weekly newsletter with pictures which is so fun! My son is learning so many more words and songs being at school, and brings home art projects each week. Would highly recommend St. Mikes!

We moved our children from the local public school to Holy Rosary several years ago. We regret not making the change in schools sooner. The class size is nearly half of what our local school offers. The teachers are dedicated and have more time to spend with each student. It seems that the majority of the students are very motivated and have supportive families who truly value education. Administration is very involved, fair, and extremely responsive to parent concerns. Overall Holy Rosary has been an excellent experience for our children and family.
