What parents Say about our teacher.
We highly recommend St. Emily School because it offers an exceptional faith-based education in a nurturing and supportive environment. The teachers are dedicated and truly care about each student's success, not just academically but personally as well. Our children have grown so much here, both in their knowledge and character, and it's clear the school emphasizes not only intellectual development but also values like kindness, responsibility, and respect. The strong sense of community makes it feel like more than just a school; it’s a place where families are welcomed and supported. It is the perfect choice for those looking for a school that balances excellence in faith-based education with a strong moral foundation.
current familyCatholic school taught me the importance of discipline, responsibility, and respect for others, which helped me navigate the more independent and challenging environment of high school. Additionally, the strong sense of community and faith-based values instilled a moral foundation that continues to guide me through academic and personal growth.
Class of 2024 studentWhen we absolutely could not feel safe using our public school anymore, we remembered that our wonderful neighbors had nothing but incredible things to say about St. Emily. After taking a tour, we knew right away that this was the school and community for us. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, my kids have made great friends and we immediately felt like part of the St.Emily family. Our kids have not only adjusted quickly, the positive changes are undeniable. The education is beyond compare. The staff cares so much about the success of every student and it’s clear that they’re pushed to achieve their potential. I think my favorite thing about St. Emily is the sense of community. The parents are not just welcome, we are asked to be involved. We struggled with our public school and the biggest difference I see in St. Emily is something so much of the world is lacking; everyone is held accountable for their actions. This makes the atmosphere so safe and filled with mutual respect and love. I cannot recommend this school enough. I truly believe moving to St. Emily has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our kids.
current familyNot only am I a parishioner of St. Emily but I also am an alumni. Currently both of my children attend here, and I wholeheartedly am ecstatic because they are surrounded daily by people who genuinely care. It is a rare find in this day and age to find so many people who not only want your child to succeed but foster an environment of the true definition of community in every sense of the word. The teachers and faculty are sincere and loving individuals who treat your child as if they were their own. If you choose to enroll your children here, not only will you feel the same way but even more you will know that your children are being surrounded by people who are making a positive impact on their lives daily. Proud to be an eagle!
Current FamilyWe chose St. Emily’s for its full day Kindergarten program and wonderful Kindergarten teachers. The transition from attending preschool for a few hours a day to a full day is not always easy. The teachers know how to handle this transition with ease. I have always felt comfortable e-mailing my daughter’s teacher and her response is always prompt and complete. If you have even the slightest interest in St. Emily’s, I encourage you to reach out to the school for more information. Ask for the principal, Ms. Booth, I’m very impressed with what she has done!
Current FamilyWords cannot express how happy we are with St. Emily School. I have twins in Pre K-4 and a 3rd grader. The school feels like a family, from the front office staff to the custodians and everyone in between, they will take the time and help you or just say hello. The teachers are remarkable and dedicated to their job and giving their all to the students. Academically the students are challenged and are encouraged to do their best and be their best. You see this from the Pre-K classes all the way through 8th grade. I have seen my children flourish academically, spiritually and socially. St. Emily staff does a wonderful job with providing a faith based environment. We knew we picked the right school when our 3rd grader said to us “Thank you for sending me to St. Emily.” We are very happy with our decision to enroll our kids at St. Emily School. We would recommend St. Emily to any family who is looking for school that is dedicated to its students, it families and its community.
