St. Thomas Aquinas

We have a 1st grader at GW Childs and are having a wonderful experience. The school boasts supportive teachers and dedicated staff members who care deeply about our children and the community. It has been a pleasure to get to know our daughter’s teachers, including those with school age children attending GW Childs (namely the music teacher and art teacher-who we love). The parent association while small, is growing. These folks represents a vibrant parent community who want to increase involvement and foster communication. Both my spouse and I were raised outside of the city in NJ & PA suburbs. We did not know what to expect when we entered the Philadelphia School District last year. GW Childs has exceeded our expectations. Our daughter enjoys going to school and is learning so much. She has great friends with parents we love. She is an exceptional reader. While no school is without challenges, we are proud to have put down roots in the Point Breeze neighborhood. We look forward to seeing the school and community grow. Additionally we look forward to enrolling our second child in Kindergarten at GW Childs in the Fall of 2025. If you have questions about this school, I’d encourage you to please reach out to the school or the parent association and see for yourself, what a gem it is.

Stanton has incredible teachers, staff, and a super supportive and genuinely kind parent community that has been successful in raising money to support additional programming and to support the the teachers and staff. Stanton has great partnerships in the community including with Settlement House, which supports the orchestra and the incredible orchestra teacher at Stanton. Every teacher my daughter has had so far has been excellent-super competent, kind and innovative in circumstances that can be challenging sometimes. She has learned so much and loves being there.

After moving to the suburb, my son said the teachers were rude and so were the student, horribleEnvironment. No support.

not a very friendly school and there is a lot of kids that need help.
