The school gives teens well needed guidance for their future. Most continue education into college. They have the highest college continuance rates in the area.

Being the only catholic school in the region, comparisons become difficult. An independent review,…read morestanding from an educational perspective alone would not be reasonable either. An elite private school this is not. However the tuition is beyond reasonable, and a downright steal if you have more than 3 children in attendance. What applies to most if not all catholic schools also applies here. Uniforms required, fundraisers necessary, and catholic holy days and holidays the school is closed. Where this school truly stands out is with acceptance age. They will accept 2 year olds for a full day (8-2pm) as long as they will be three by December. Pre-k 3 is unique to this area, as daycares, not schools, usually service that age range. Also worth noting is the availability of the principal. Not only is she accessible, but intimately involved with most if not all school functions. hands down, great to see! The school itself is very clean, and has many activities available to its students. The staff is very friendly and appear to enjoy what they do. For those who ARE catholics, it is also nice knowing that your children will be learning their prayers and attending mass on occasion, while in school. I feel blessed to be able to leave my 2 year old in the hands of such a caring teacher and structured organization. So far so good...hope its this easy when my child enters college!

My experience with this Fast Track location is through enrolling my son into its G&T prep course…read more It was a wonderful experience and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent that wishes to give their son or daughter the best educational opportunity possible. I can only speak about Daisy, my son's instructor. I believe she also manages this location. She is a wonderful instructor who clearly cares about the kids and empathizes with parents about this whole ordeal. Given her experience, she is also very knowledgeable about the exam and G&T process in general. She was very pleasant to deal with. I won't bore you with the details of the curriculum as you can find that out for yourself through Fast Track. The best thing I can say is that my son enjoyed the class and the "homework." Daisy made learning fun for him and the other kids, and that's important. It's also very structured and I liked that hw really was minimal. My son had enough stuff going on besides G&T prep, and he was only 4 years old! To summarize, Daisy did a great job preparing my son, and the results prove it. I recommend this location, this course, and Daisy.

Our daughter was fortunate enough to score 99 on the exam and is now in a wonderful G&T program that she loves. We were so impressed with this program and the teacher, Daisy, that we are now signing up our son for the 3 year old Explorer program in the Fall of 2014 as his first educational experience. I can't speak highly enough about the staff and recommend considering them for any of their programs.

Also, he used to hold his pencil funny but now his handwriting has improved with the assistance of his elementary school teachers. Now in middle school, we've been happy with the changes at the new building at the boys and girls clubs. Its also important for private schools to know that the fit is important, and we've had our experience at some in the area. I will say that we've had a great experience so far. Best of luck to others.
