Posted by a community member on 1/31/2019I went to St. Benedicts and so did my 3 children. We were so happy with their education and preparedness for high school. St. Bens is also a very nurturing, encouraging environment which served our children and us well! We miss it!
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2014I personally would not recommend this school to minority families . My family experienced racism on many levels . We as a family were singled out on several occasions. Several times staff spoke to my children inappropriatly as well as sent messages through them for myself , this continued after asking the staff not to. Once I informed the school that I planned to transfer my children my children's books were taken from them , they were questioned by the staff without contacting myself in regard to when their last day would be . Upon my arrival at dismissal my children were sent out with their nap mats , changes of clothes and art work. This happened only a quarter through the school year and none of the supplies that I had sent in were returned when they were pushed out . The only explanation for this poor behavior and treatment of my children that was extended to me was that it was not meant to be malicious . My children did not deserve to be treated in this manner and this last act of ill will toward them solidified my decision to remove my three children from the school.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHere is what the teachers say about their own school: The Student to Teacher ratio in core subjects is 11:1. That is a huge advantage to the students.Split classes in middle school with advanced courses in each subject.Lesson from the pandemic: smaller class sizes benefited children. We have that here every day.AIS support is focused in the classroom. The teachers collaborate to find what is best for the student.The Wilson Program, available for the whole school, is very valuable.Foreign language: Spanish starting in Kindergarten. Latin in Middle School.Sports: All children are included. None are cut. Whether the child is "sporty" or not they are included on the team and see playing time.Many sports to choose from at an early age.Strong active Sports Boosters group.There is enthusiasm and respect amongst the players.The core curriculum teachers are with the kids all through Middle School. They don't have to spend the month of September figuring out the children's aptitude. They know them from Day 1.Public Speaking: they gain experience in a comfortable way throughout their time at our school. Reading in church. Start on stage in the 3rd grade with the play.There are no cuts in the Arts.Small community means comfort is built in. New students are immediately welcomed and become part of the fabric quickly.Parents make friends here for life also. Strong bonds are formed among the parents.Ceremonies are beautiful and meaningful. "How but in custom and in ceremony are innocence and beauty born?" William Butler Yeats.National Junior Honor SocietyMusic and the Arts: Fantastic music instruction with an accomplished teacher.In-school lessons for band and orchestra instruments: Clarinet, Flute, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Violin, Drums, Guitar, Bass as well as Voice, Piano, Violin and UkuleleAll students perform as a member of a class choir for the Christmas Nativity Play and are taught solfege and music reading in weekly music classes.Focus is on the whole child. We are mothers to them all.They don't get lost in the crowd. Academics and emotional health are both important.The faculty love their jobs and want what is best for each child.I can not get over how welcoming everyone is here. The teachers, the staff, and the families; everyone is welcoming and joyful!Parent Review2y ago - Martin Luther Christian School
