St. Veronica Catholic School

We have grown to love the staffing here (from teachers, PTA staff and cafeteria staff!) We truly feel they care for the students and am excited for the renovations. The PTA here is also amazing and have created the community feel. Teachers and staffing have an easy way to communicate with parents so that has been a helpful tool to stay informed with what's going on with our children.

This school severely traumatized me. The teachers watched me get bullied in front of their faces and did NOTHING about it. I got cruel treatment and punishments from teachers and they would constantly accuse kids of lying for no reason other than to give out unnecessary punishments. I had perfect grades while going here with the cost of my mental health declining 1-4th grade. 5-6 grade teachers were amazing.

Our military family has had an outstanding experience at GBW. Principal Blount is a dedicated professional, whose true passion is to see students excel both, academically and emotionally. He is approachable and dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed. The AAP teachers our daughters had for the three years we were there, were exceptionally kind, motivating, yet patient with our girls. They communicated well with families and encouraged a love of learning for their students. Mrs. Strohl and Mr. Smith have made a lasting and positive impact in our children’s lives. The front office staff, nurse and custodians truly care for the safety and well-being for all the students under their charge. The PTA is incredibly active and plays an important role in building a strong sense of community. We will miss you all. Thank you!

It's a lovely school. Students are treated quite well. I am amazed at how sporty the Ms. Durso is. She is such a role model for all students. Teachers are welcoming, supportive. Heaven for Asian students due to school's inclusive culture.

This school is really great and would recommend it. The teachers are very supportive and fun, I had a lot of fun in my years and hope people join and experience it too.

Our family has been a part of the Nysmith community for the past 9 years. We have two children in the program, both started in kindergarten, one of which is about to graduate from 8th grade and another finishing up 5th grade. Our son and daughter have benefited greatly from Nysmith's rotating classrooms for different courses with subject-specialist teachers. This learning model keeps children engaged, a chance to really dive deep into topics and offers critical touchpoints throughout the day with over a dozen committed teachers as they maneuver through classrooms. There is plenty of opportunity for academic acceleration for interested students (if your child loves math, the sky's the limit). Besides having small class sizes, we have found that the difference has been the dedicated teachers - they take the time to really know your child. The teachers are phenomenal - whether it be a core subject or an elective course, our kids come home eager to share what they have learned and are genuinely excited to go to school each day. The coursework can be challenging, but kids are learning in a way that does not create a stressful experience. If they are struggling to understand a topic, teachers make the time to help them. In our experience, there is not a lack of resources and many times, teachers knew what our kids needed before we even thought of it - that is the level of care you get at Nysmith. Our eldest will be graduating from the program this year and is more than prepared to succeed in high school. Much credit goes to the supportive teachers at Nysmith who have truly changed his educational trajectory. Our children have blossomed into confident, capable and thoughtful young leaders - we are ever so grateful to be a part of this community.
