Poff El School

WTN (for the North Campus)since there is a city campus, too. Is a wonderful school. Two of our sons attended here, one for fourth and fifth grades and the other for second to fifth grades. We love the environment, the curriculum, the teachers, and the administration. The class sizes are small. The teachers are able to individualize instruction based on a students strength and weakness. The teachers use the environment ( a farm-like campus with a pond) to enhance the curriculum.

We have been parents of two students who have attended Aquinas. They started after coming from another private catholic school and a private "secular" school. Hands down the best decision we could have made for both of our children. It is the tone set by the school that excellence is the expectation of all students, regardless of ability or challenge. They support students with different learning styles and when the head of school takes an interest and leads by example, the staff follows. This is a community asset that far exceeds its small stature in a crowded marketplace. We have options, as we all do, and we have opted to have our children in this environment for the character development, leadership and educational experience that they have enjoyed. I see that others have commented on the teachers at the school. During COVID closure as ordered by the Governor of PA the teachers were sharing with the students that they could not wait to get back into the classroom. This was not the case in many local school districts and that is a direct reflection on the commitment that teachers make to their students and to their profession

Three kids who go here; the swimming, CCD and speech therapy they offer really frees up my time so I can enjoy doing more stuff as a family as they learn needed skills beyond the educational curriculum at school. Help the kids with their homework and it is age appropriate and they really do want to show what they learned at school due to teacher motivation throughout the day.
