James Monroe Elementary School

We love Larchmont, but the amount of homework that the kindergartens get is unreal.It is too much after a long day of learning.

Many, many years ago, I taught kindergarten at Lindenwood. It was on of my very best teaching experiences! There was great parent evolvement there! Great community school! Yes, there were some behavior issues. You’ll find that anywhere. However, I had incarcerated parents, yet they absolutely adored their child! I had exhausted students because their new sibling slept in the same room. Oh, there were many more! However, we just rolled with it all, trying to meet the needs of every student on every level! The students wanted to learn! Over all students were well behaved. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I still lived there!

We’ve been part of the Saint Patrick community for 5 years now, and have loved it from the beginning. Our children have blossomed with academic, spiritual, and athletic opportunities they wouldn’t have had elsewhere. The close knit community feels more like an extended family and we feel blessed knowing our kids are safe and truly cared about at school. The emphasis on developing the whole child has created an encouraging learning environment unique to Saint Patrick. Sending our 3 children to Saint Patrick has by far been one of the best parenting decisions we have made!

My kids have thrived at West Ghent School. It's a hidden gem, and I'm so thankful to have found it. Teachers are caring and engaging. They form life long friendships, and learn in a very dynamic environment.

My kids have been here since they were toddlers and we have had nothing but overwhelming positive experiences. I can’t recommend the school enough and every year they add more opportunities for the kids. It keeps getting better. The price tag is brutal but I can’t imagine sending them anywhere else.
