St. Ignatius Loyola Parochial School…read more Being raised Catholic and having many Catholic friends with children, I have attended many events at this school. It's like going to church and school at the same time. It's right next door to St. Ignatius Church where I attended daily mass before the pandemic. I've witnessed the results of their academic programs and recommend them wholeheartidly. Just be aware this quality education has a steep price. As far as the atmosphere, I love the statues and I'm always reading the awards and trophies. I'm sure I've captured as much as I can in my photos. It's like a museum in a school since there's a lot of history here. I have met many nice employees and feel welcome. I'm fortunate I've been able to visit inside to participate. I love this atmosphere when it's full of people! I don't want to post my people photos since they contain children and are personal.

Parents beware of Ms Larkin - This place is scary…read more I enrolled my son in Kindergarten and was initially thrilled that he was going to get a Catholic education. He is a good 5 year old and has struggles with going to the bathroom at school. His teacher was initially sympathetic to our situation and was working with us to get it resolved but then Ms Larkin intervened. We were called into Ms Larkins office where she acted like dictator with zero compassion or flexibility. She demanded we get him fully potty trained and provided no resources to help. Following our meeting, she sent us a note saying our son could not attend the school until he had no accidents. We sent a note telling her the steps we were taking including pulling him from school to get intensive training. When we returned him to school, she systematically instituted a program of intimidation to force her will on us. She went directly after him instructing the teachers and staff to pull him from class anytime he had an accident and place him in isolation where had to sit in his own excrement until we picked him up - this happened multiple times and caused my son significant distress. We then pulled him for two weeks to get more intensive potty training that involved hiring an expert hoping this would resolve the situation. When we returned him school he had another accident because the program included a laxative regime and they pulled him again making him sit in a room alone for 2 hours without changing him - I almost cried at the pain they put this little boy through. Ms Larkin personally oversaw all of this instructing the staff to do her dirty work while they ruthlessly went directly after him with no regard to his education or feelings. She also called my wife after I sent her an email complaint trying to turn the situation back in us while using intimidation and leverage over us as working parents. I have never experienced such thuggish behavior in my entire life l and no less from a Catholic institution that claims to teach the Catholic faith. My son cried at home for months as we went through this trauma and it impacted all aspects of our family life. I want others to know the type of people they could be dealing with if their children have issues. Ms Larkin systematically leveraged the full force of her staff to go after a 5 year old boy and us as his parents with the ruthless purpose of making us bend to her will. It is sad, as a lifelong Catholic who just wanted his son have a Catholic education, to see this school and associated church stray so far from its stated purpose. I feel I need to write this so that others understand the type of behavior my 5 year old son and wife experienced at the hands of Ms Larkin and her staff. My only hope is that others will read this and understand what they are getting into or lodge similar complaints if they had issues like we had because this must be addressed.

Years ago my son was denied admission to the high school.

La Scuola is absolutely comparable to them and I am happy to add that the Faculty is caring, enthusiastic and very attentive to each and every need of the kids. The bi-lingual education (+ French as a third language) is an incredible plus, and also for an American student it is a great privilege to read immortal authors in their own languages, English, Italian, French or Latin. The International Baccalaureate Diploma, also, is a great opportunity for kids to challenge themselves (and la Scuola is among the very few schools in NYC to offer it!) and an effective boost for the most important College Institutions around the world. Last but not least: at La Scuola, kids did not loose a single hour, due to the pandemic. They immediately set up a perfect environment for online schooling, and since the reopening in Sept 2020 they are at school in person.
