There really is no perfect school, but St. Viator is pretty darn close…read more
The best part about St. Viator is its legacy. The number of volunteers who continue to give their time to this school, many have had children attend and now have grandchildren here, says so much about the community that has been built over generations. I knew 35 years ago that St. Viator was where I wanted to send my own children because of its academic rigor, but the truth is, it has been the best place for them for reasons far beyond academics. St. Viator has created a community that is open to accepting students who learn differently while giving high-achieving students the opportunity to learn alongside them. It is a place where students are celebrated for their unique abilities, not defined by their disABILITIES. Thank you, St. Viator, for creating a community of acceptance, belonging, and high expectations. Choosing this school has truly been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our children. My two St. Viator graduates were fully prepared for two of the best high schools in Las Vegas Bishop Gorman and Secta. Both are taking honors courses and my son is taking several dual enrollment college courses. They were prepared to be effective communicator, lifelong learners and able to advocate for themselves. They have the confidence to join clubs and teams becuase they were given leadership opportunities at St. . Viator. My sixth graders is involved in so many extra curricular activities and keeps a full schedule while being held to a high academic standard.
St. Viator keeps God at the core of all they do. This school teaches to give back to volunteer and help others less fortunate through campus ministry and homeless lunch.
They learn this important life skill from PreK and continues past St. Viator. This school also has every extracurricular activity you can imagine: chess club, cooking club, band, choir, cantor, art club, pottery, book club, student government, cheerleading, numerous sports for grades 5-8 and even some sports for grades 3&4, and many more. There are incredible events both social and fundraising including back to school BBQ, Halloween carnival, fish fry (with the parish), winter festivals, movie night, jr high dances, fun runs, fashion shows, foundation galas, and many many more.
The most special events are those for 8th graders including their class trip to WA DC and all the events in the month of May. The traditions of May Crowning, Baccalaureate, graduation brunch, ribbon ceremony, blessing of the tiles, and graduation are forever memories I have of my children. Thank you St. Viator for building a community where all are accepted, known by name, and help reach their full
potential. Having my children attend St. Viator will forever be the greatest decision I have made as a parent.
