My 7 year old was sexually harassed by a student and emotionally harassed/abused by the student’s mother for reporting the abuse. The mother worked at the school. The school did not take the necessary steps to stop it from the beginning. Infact, kid was victimized even more by the school who for the longest time refused to believe it was happening or to take the necessary decisive action about the teacher’s behavior.

St. Paul's is certainly an "absolute diamond". If you live in Greenridge, welcome to your safe haven. Otherwise, prepare for judgement and a torturous experience for your children during the critical development years of their lives. The teaching staff is comprised of a few competent teachers, but prepare for a majority of teachers to have qualified for the position solely because of a fortunate last name. The facilities may have been acceptable during the early 1900s, but renovations consisting of a few paint jobs will not allow you to believe that they are acceptable today. The school's principal is not interested in your child's education or emotional well-being, but she will be happy to accommodate you if you have political powers that may benefit her career. If you have money to waste on an education that is no better than any in the area (public or private), and you want your child to develop character by being placed into a hostile environment (assuming you live outside of Greenridge, of course), then send your child to St. Paul's School.

The Children's Cornerstone is an amazing school. The families are equally as wonderful. There are families of various ethnicities and economic backgrounds. My child is becoming a well-rounded, well-educated child. It is very obvious in meeting with the directress that her love is to see the children thrive. She is very sensitive to personal issues and developmental delays. My child has tested ahead of other children on the same level from other schools. This is the best choice if looking for a great Montessori education.
