A difficult decision made easy. After several open-houses and endless research, we decided to add another school to our list. Upon the entrance to the open-house we were greeted with warm smiles and true acceptance without any judgements or pressure. Mrs. Gasior, the kindergarten school teacher who with met immediately provided us with reassurance of the schools' mission. Celebrating faith, family , & academic excellence. The entire staff was very pleasant. Mrs. Berry the school principal was approachable, and understanding of our mission to find the right school with the proper balance of education and faith. It has now been 5 months and our whole world changed overnight due to the current pandemic. We are even more thankful to have selected St. Symphorosa, as they have guided us and provided with options for in person or remote learning. They have supported our decision and have excelled in providing an education environment for our child during this unprecedented time. We are ecstatic to be part of St. Symphorosa School Family and look forward for many years to come for both of our daughters to celebrate their Catholic faith and excel in their education. read more

We absolutely love St. Symphorosa and couldn't be happier with the experience our child has had so far starting from pre-k3- til now kindergarten! From the very beginning, the staff has been welcoming, caring, and truly invested in each child's growth and well-being. Our child looks forward to going to school every day, which says so much about the environment the teachers and leadership they have created. The kindergarten teachers are incredibly nurturing, patient, and skilled at helping the children build confidence and a love for learning. We've seen so much development-not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The activities are creative and engaging, and the communication with parents is excellent. It feels like a true community, and we're grateful to be part of it. Highly recommend this school to any family looking for a supportive and enriching place for their child to grow and thrive! read more

St. Symphorosa has been the cornerstone for my family. My mother in law, my husband and my older children have all graduated from Syms. My youngest is still attending and there is no other place I'd want him to be. My children have grown academically, emotionally and in their faith. I have one son who needs academic support in order to be successful and he flourished in his years at Syms! I have another son who need academic enrichment and opportunity to learn at a higher level in order to grow and he too is getting g what he needs at St. Symphorosa. Dr. Berry runs an amazing school. The communication is excellent; weekly emails with everything neatly organized. Parent involvement is always available and family events occur regularly. There is an excellent band program that is available. I can not say enough positive things about this school and its teachers and leadership read more

My son has attended 3PK full day and we have had the best experience. My beginning of year nerves of sending my son off for the first time were easily calmed with such welcoming staff. His PK teacher, Mrs Horne, is AMAZING! She updates parents DAILY- yes daily since day one! I am always kept in the loop and well aware of what my child does daily in school. This is so greatly appreciated that she takes this time daily to update parents since at such a young age, the communication of a full day of school and what happens is not so easily shared. It is nice to recap with my son how his day went and to build that home to school connection by discussing in detail parts of his day since I had that information. The after school care staff is caring and I am so comfortable knowing he is taken care of from the point of drop off to pick up. I cannot recommend this school enough! read more

St. Symphorosa Elementary School is a fantastic school with a wonderful staff and great programs. The teachers go above and beyond to help the children learn what's in the books as well as life skills. There are great extra curricular programs such as coding, chess, Spanish, and more. There are good sport programs with many awesome parent volunteers. The school has an impressive curriculum that builds on itself, so skills are never learned and lost, but learned and used in more complex situations. The principal continually looks for ways to improve upon the curriculum, and the parent clubs make for having a cohesive and fun atmosphere within school during off hours as well as hosting community events. I highly recommend this school! Check it out for yourself! read more

We started this year in Pre-K. Our daughter loves going to school in the morning. We have had such a positive experience at St. Symphorosa School. Communication to parents from teachers, administrators and even the school board members is great. Even in Pre-K the kids are getting math, language, music, and gym weekly. There are always activities for the children as well as families, and families are very involved in the school. Being new there, we weren't sure what to expect but the pride that families have in their children but also in the school shines through and makes you really want to be a part of it. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a private school in the area. It has been a wonderful experience for us. read more

Have been enrolled since Pre-K 3 (2021). My daughter is now a first grader, couldn't imagine getting through my busy demanding work day without St. Symphorosa by my side. Honestly feels like I leave her with family. Everyone knows everyone and the families in this community really do look out for each other. What a great village to belong to. The curriculum is appropriate and challenging. My daughter was reading by the end of kindergarten and not just sight words. They offer library hours before school, extra curriculars, after school clubs, and sports for all age groups even as young as pre-school. I would recommend this school to any family I speak to and always do. read more

We are now in our 4th year at St. Symphorosa, and now all 3 of my children attend (pre-k through 2nd grade). From day one, we felt welcome by the entire community.

We really appreciate the services such as before/after care, game club, tutoring and craft club . Faith based education is introduced as early as preschool which has been great for our daughters. The school is on the smaller side, typically 1 or 2 classrooms per grade level. Staff get to know your child quickly and are always eager to help out. read more

I am so happy with this school and parish. I have sent both my boys here and they have learned the importance of being wonderful human beings. They have learned to have such important virtues and values such as kindness, humility, honesty, compassion, respect and all the while having such strong faith. The teachers know all the students by face or name, it really is like a family here. Teachers, staff and our amazing principal is just really good examples of why to send your child to this school! read more

We are thrilled to be starting our catholic school journey at St. Syms. Our family has been welcomed with open arms and our son continues to excel. H attends the half day pre-k 3 program and enjoys going to school every day. The kids gets tons of play based learning time, but the structure and respect instilled in them on a very basic level is what sold us. And Ms. Rohan and Mrs. Pettenon are the icing on the cake! We love being part of the Vikings family. read more

Good school. Strong community. Kids have a good selection of "special" classes including art, music,.Spanish and STEM. Administrators are really good, and mostly positive experiences with teachers.
