Chamberlayne Elementary School

Since four months my son he is seven years beat and bothered by one student and his sister so I complimented several times to the school but they didn’t show any action!

I hated this school. The staff was terrible and I didn't learn anything. I am glad it closed down and I hope it never returns. !!!!!!!!!! >:(

My twins came to Lourdes for middle school this past year. In public school they were bullied and felt out of place because they were very smart and also neurodivergent. At Lourdes, from day 1, they have felt included and have made friends with kids like them. At recess (yes middle schoolers still get recess) both boys play soccer and the athletic kids play with them. No one makes fun of them. Have there been a few instances of unkind things said? Of course because they are in middle school and the place isn’t magic. But, when they tell an adult, it is immediately shut down and dealt with. The school has very little tolerance for bullying or even disrespect! Academically my boys have enjoyed the challenges of new classes and are always talking about what they have learned. Dr. Alpert who teaches history is a treasure and my boys LOVE her. Some of the quirks or things I wish were different are the variety of electives offered to middle schoolers. It’s a small school so the options are limited. I wish the middle school operated on a true block schedule so kids had more exposure to some classes and they math happened every day. My boys have thrived at Lourdes and it makes me wish we had known about it when my daughter was in middle schooler. If you are thinking about Lourdes, make the choice and you won’t regret it!
