Homework Does this…read moreschool have an effective approach to homework? There is no homework. I don't have a problem with this if there were clear communication channels around progress. There is not. Teachers Are teachers at this school effective? The school admits students with clear identifiable needs without putting in place the proper supports for them. As such there are strong behavioral outbursts that are a consistent distraction from learning and create unsafe environments for peers. Teachers are left dealing with behavioral issues instead of teaching. Character Does this school develop strong character in its students? Our son was relentlessly bullied by a student who is still there. When the student moved into another classroom the following year the same situation began with those students. Half the board pulled their kids out of school as did we. This child was threatening to bring a gun to school and was pointing at who he planned on shooting. The administration was notified and he was back at school the next morning as if nothing happened. That was one of many incidents. The fact that 5 families pulled their children, families who were active board members and large donors should tell you enough. Save yourself the aggravation. When you are looking for a quality private school I encourage you to pass this one over. Leadership Does this school have effective leadership? The leadership accepts students as they apply. They are looking to fill seats as the school itself is under financial strains. They have combined classes and eliminated "specials" to attempt to remedy this. The multi age classroom will be sold to you as a model they stand behind but I assure you it is simply because enrollment is down because of its reputation and they have had no choice but to combine classes. Learning Differences Does this school effectively support students with learning differences? They will admit students with any learning difference but that is where it ends. No supports are put in place that are specific to any need. The lack of supports leads to frustrated students and distracting behavioral outbursts that are not only distracting to other students but they detract from the learning process. Bullying Does this school effectively deal with bullying? Please see my above statement. It is outrageous what happens in this school around bullying. Children were staying home and missing school because of the severe anxiety that was induced by the behaviors of other children that were explained away and minimized. It has been 2 years since we left and I am still working to undo the emotional damage my son went through while attending that school. The other numerous families that left are all in the same boat. Systemic bullying changes the fabric of who you are. School should be a safe space. Particularly a private school that states clear guidelines around bullying. The issue is they don't stand behind them.

Damn. That must suck. Real bad. Anyways, nobody has praised this school on here. My kids have been going here for 2 years and I have nothing bad to say about it. At all. Tried public school. Public school is lacking, to say the least. I cant say enough good things about this school. Not because I cant say enough good things about this school but because I DIDNT go to this school as a kid. I dont have the ability to do so. My vocab is straight up limited to f bombs and sheeeeeiiiiiittttttss. My kids vocab will be huge because of this school. Thank you, St Thomas. You do a bang up job. I know I pay but its worth more than what I pay. My kids will grow up to be a much better adult than I am.

For those interested in a business degree, it is an excellent choice and as private universities go, a good value in my opinion. They offer scholarships and assist students with obtaining internships and jobs post graduation. I attended a reception this weekend and was impressed by the dinner, the decor, and the incredibly helpful faculty and staff on site to answer questions from incoming first year students. I think it is a worthy choice for Rhode Island students who want to commute or anyone interested in attending a highlight rated business university with a beautiful campus.
