Trinity has turned a corner and was one of the first high schools to offer an International Baccalaureate Program, along with other programs. I know I was well prepared for college upon graduation. The 100th graduating class is the class of 2018, that's a lot of education. Sister Michelle is dynamic, gets the word out, and is totally AWESOME. She reported that they now draw from 37 suburbs and the city. Continued success.

The dean and teachers here are very rude and are not experienced. Being there for 4 years came with sadness and expense. The ac does not work, and don't get me started on the bathroom they are discusting. The girls here are very mean, and if you're okay with your daughter vaping and smoking then this is the perfect place. The classes are uneducated once took a physics class we didn't have one test nor homework done got a 100% for the whole course. Everyone here is racist and the thievery has gotten out of hand. I got my $100 aritiza jacket stolen and my shoes stolen, and people have opened and went into my locker during 3a and 3b when were in class and taken money or stole things. They don't care at all about mental health and there cockroaches throughout the school mainly the bathrooms and cafe area. when I please tell you coming from a student who has hated her 4 years and is a senior I have not learned much from this school send your child to Fenwick or Resurrection. I have lots of videos of the N WORD from teachers and students I also have pictures of teachers sleeping during class time, and other evidence please reach out if you would like to see before you think abt sending your child here. This school is basically a private OPRF, please think before you send your child here thank you. This is what my child and multiple of her friends wrote out and told me. Unacceptable

As a teacher myself, choosing the right school for my children was incredibly important, and I…read morecannot commend how well St. Vincent Ferrer School has shaped my daughter intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Over the past four years, I have watched her truly blossom into a well-rounded student. The deep sense of community here is remarkable, it truly feels like an extended family. This connection is beautifully on display during school traditions like the All-School Olympics Challenge and our annual Fun Run, where older students step in to guide and mentor the younger students through different obstacles. Seeing that culture of leadership and kindness in action solidified why parents choose this community. We are so thrilled with our experience that my son will be starting at St. Vincent Ferrer in the fall, and we are excited for him to thrive in this warm, loving environment.

I would caution any family considering St. Vincent Ferrer to think carefully before enrolling…read more I have been a parishioner since I was 13 years old and received my Confirmation here, and my children have attended for the past five years. Because of that long history, I expected a strong, supportive, and safe environment for families. Unfortunately, my experience has not reflected that expectation. Concerns raised as a parent were not taken seriously, and I did not feel that issues involving student well-being and bullying were addressed with appropriate urgency or accountability. As a result, I did not feel confident that my concerns about my children's emotional well-being were being properly supported or prioritized. Based on my experience, I would encourage parents to ask very direct questions about how bullying and student concerns are handled before making a decision to enroll.

The quality of their educations has been extraordinary and both children thrived with clubs, intramurals and other extracurricular activities including a study-abroad in Ireland trip for one child and a Washington DC Art History field trip for another. Shout out to the amazing counselors, Special Education team, and social workers. My kids have favorite teachers but too many to name personally. The arts program is the highest quality. Theater, too! The school board has been doing some wonderful work in the past few years. We appreciate the recent policy in support of transgender students and their work on improving racial equity. We have been really happy at OPRF and my kids are lucky to attend.

I had a damaging experience with a teacher named Jacob Benke. Jacob was also a head basketball…read morecoach at Walther Christian Academy. His conduct was manipulative and harmful. I was a victim of his control tactics, which had a lasting emotional and psychological impact. As a student athlete, I started every game I played. I was eligible to play, but he would use my game participation as leverage for obedience. For instance, when I expressed things he disliked, he would prohibit me from going to games. He made decisions based on his ego rather than athletic or academic merit. The result was deliberate sabotage of both my development and the team's. Jacob is sadistic. I remember him mocking me about recruitment while interfering with my opportunities. He would sit me out during games that mattered. For a young athlete, this behavior was damaging and reckless. He uses psychological mind games, pressure, and humiliation when in power. Years later, he saw me in person and attempted to apologize. That moment confirms his awareness of the harm he causes. He often sings in the chapel and projects a likable image while being evil behind the scenes. The contrast between his presentation and conduct is conflicting. As of the date of this writing, December 22, 2025, he is still teaching at the school, which is disturbing. Currently, he is the chair of the school's Social Studies department. His egotistical behavior places students' mental health at risk. Based on my experience, he is unfit to hold power over children. Parents should be diligent to protect their children from his manipulation. There are stronger private school options for academics and athletics. You should continue searching for better schools. Your child's future depends on it.

Great faculty, support staff, athletics, extracurricular activities, facilities and most important, the curriculum is rigorous and challenges students. We plan to stay until 2028, his expected graduation date. Please know that Financial aid is also available for those in need. I highly recommend Walther Christian Academy in Melrose Park, IL.

Both kids were wholly engaged in the curriculum and supported in all aspects of their development while building beautiful, meaningful relationships with the other students, parents, teachers and the two amazing directors. They especially enjoyed being able to delve deeper into subject matter with TCS's project-based learning style. They loved being outdoors, having loads of field trips, learning art, music and theatre in addition to reading, math, history, civics and science. They learned to be critical thinkers, problem-solvers, good citizens and helpful friends. They were both welcomed and honored for their uniqueness and learned to further celebrate the diversity of others. Progressive Education at The Children's School was the right fit for my kids. Both of my children thrived at TCS and are now doing very well at our local public high school. It was a financial investment for our family but one we are so glad we made. I'd enroll them again in a heartbeat.

The families who send their children to this school seem highly committed to helping their children reach their highest potential, and see their children as whole beings with social and emotional needs, as well as academic ones. As a teacher here, I have greatly enjoyed my relationships with parents, as they have been so collaborative and positive. We have newly begun a terrific adolescent program, and I encourage anyone interested in finding an alternate middle school, or a high-quality educational program for any age child to inquire. I have been so happy to work at this fantastic and excellent school, which is truly a haven for Montessori teachers who love to nurture and challenge children!
