I am teacher at this school and I'm writing this review from that perspective…read more I worked here part-time for a couple years (2011-13) when the school was still very young and in it's initial location. It was a positive and supportive place then. I returned in the fall of 2019 and I have never been happier and felt more supported in any work environment. I am so glad to have come back. With the time away, I can readily see how the school has grown and improved. I have never worked at an educational institution that is so deeply committed to equity and inclusion, where the entire faculty is actively, enthusiastically, and humbly engaged in discussions around that. My understanding and appreciation of the world is being nourished here. I have been supported with funding for many professional development workshops. I have been regularly supported by my colleagues, who really support each other with positive energy, ideas, discussions, brain storming, helping hands, and challenging each other to strive for better and better. At the heart of it all is a focus on the children and the understanding that we are the best teachers when we are supported day-to-day and in professional development, and when we are growing as human beings and striving as much as we ask the children to do.

The teachers, principal, and staff are personable, attentive, and caring. They really know the children and invest on not only their academic comprehension, but shaping them as leaders of tomorrow. My daughter loves that religion is incorporated into her curriculum, and she has been excelling ever since. The principal clearly loves children, and has a zest for parent interactions, and even the parents are engaging, and friendly. When my computer went on the fritz they opened up their teachers lounge to me without a second thought. When your child attends school here, you know you really are investing in their future, that they are safe, and that they are learning from individuals that really go that extra mile. So rare & so needed! Thank you St. Malachy, Principal Bridgette Miller, Ms. Nhou, and Ms. Strouder, to name a few. Honestly, everyone on the staff is appreciated, but I would be writing a term paper, instead of a YELP review if I listed all the amazing people there.

Our daughter started at this school in preschool and we have seen her grow and experience everything this school has to offer.

The small class sizes, great families, and teachers all put forth an effort to insure that your child will excel in life. Also, most of the children that have graduated from this school have qualified for great high schools in the area, from Loyola, Notre Dame, and St Ignatius to Northside College Prep and Whitney Young.

Academics were great and they did an amazing job offering different levels of math and reading to meet the students where they are at. I also truly enjoyed the parent community - no parent cliques and attitudes, everybody is welcome to help and participate in whatever capacity they can. The principal is amazing and the kids adore and respect her - she is a true gem! The 8th grade homeroom teacher was also incredible, as is the office staff. It was an all around positive experience and it's a school that lives what they preach. The school itself is clean, well set up with comfortable classrooms, great gym, amazing kitchen and a bowling alley! The pastor is wonderful and the kids get a well rounded education and they leave prepared and ready for the next chapter. Tuition is reasonable and a great value. I highly recommend St. John's!

The Park District's Early Learning Center is a play based program, but with a structure that provides consistency and predictability for children, preparing them VERY well for kindergarten at South School. The teachers are experienced, compassionate, warm and bright. The provide social-emotional coaching to the kids in their care, helping them learn to assert themselves, express their feelings, organize their thoughts and learn in a safe, comfortable environment. And they really do LEARN about so much while they are little students here. They do gross and fine motor activities which complement their weekly topic. Some examples of topics for 3 year olds: circles, mittens, community helpers, flowers, leaves....their acticities all touch back to that basic idea they are trying to help the kids understand (ie making a robot out of squares, making a leaf with clay, making and painting a mittwn and turning it into a lacing card). My daughter was in the 4s and they expand on this same structure but in more detail and learn about authors, illustrators, artists, animals, jobs.... and yet the children are also encouraged to play, relax, and enjoy their introduction to education. The teachers are trained educators who care about the children in their care and are passionate and patient. They take the time to help even the littlest kids with anybstruggles that come up along the way. I can't say enough good things. I encourage you enough to take a tour, meet the teachers, and see how happy these classrooms and children are. I have loved my children's teachers and I love this school.

This school was the worst choice I made as a parent. My son was there for first grade. My…read moreexperience was nothing but negative. Please believe that the image they portray on social media is not the experience your child will have. They punish children inappropriately to age. Silent lunches are common and given for very minor instances along with heads down for 15 minutes for 6 and 7 year olds. They allow punishing a whole class when 1 child does wrong. They treat children like robots rather than people. His teacher was inexperienced and passive aggressive. She told the children they couldn't go to the bathroom except when she took them and was "tired of them asking". My child was terrified to ask questions or do something wrong. The children were made to feel "dumb" if they didn't know something. It diminished not only his self esteem and confidence but other children in his class. His tests scores dropped dramatically in his time there. The children were put on ipads for 30-45 minutes a day. Principal and assistant principal are unresponsive. The grading system was wrong almost the entire year and no one knew how to fix it. They couldn't even say what was transferred to other schools even though the grading was filled with errors. All they care about is money. They send a million reminders on class dojo to remind everyone to pay tuition but fail to relay important information related to your childs' education. To top it off, you have to pay tuition in advance, when I pulled my child they wouldn't refund upfront payments. This was honestly the worst school I ever experienced and I am glad I got my son out of there regardless of the expense.
