The rest of this review is kind of a response to the two old reviews on here about the school... 1.) I've found the school to be a wonderful community. It is EXTREMELY diverse which I'm so thankful for. Not sure what the other parent imagined diversity looks like. 2.) Yes the building is old, but the classrooms are brightly painted and have high ceilings with large windows. Actually, I've toured both a number of public and private schools in UWS and would say it's exactly on par, maybe more natural light than others. 3.) My daughters have had exceptional teachers at this school and made long-lasting friendships with students and their families. 4.) Price point is a huge positive factor. 5.) Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Yes, most of the office staff are fluent in both Spanish and English (huge selling point in NYC). Anytime I've ever needed help from them, they speak with me immediately. 4 stars instead of 5 because flow of information coming home to parents could improve. Still on par with my older daughters public school flow of information.

Our son was a student at the French American Acedemy at the Englewood campus. He was there for 3…read moreyears since PK3. We recently relocated to Europe. I first want to express my deepest gratitude to Jeremie the principle of the Englewood Campus and Anne- Sophie the owner on the education and nurturing environment they provided for our Son. Through their commitment, vision and dedication for the FAA community, our son was able to matriculate into the french educational system with ease. For that ,my husband and I are extremely grateful. I had many fairs. How well our son would do with moving to a new country , entering a new school system without knowing anyone. That tension was put to rest with how well our son has been doing. Our experience at the French American Academy in Englewood with the curriculum , and how the staff foster learning and community togetherness has been truly impactful on our family. Thank you to everyone at the Englewood Campus. Best, Kerriann L.

From what I have learned, Saint Anthony's High School in South Huntington, NY, is a distinguished…read moreprivate, Roman Catholic, Franciscan college-preparatory school serving students in grades 9 through 12. Renowned for its rigorous academics, competitive athletics, and diverse student body. Founded in 1933 by the Franciscan Brothers, Saint Anthony's has a long-standing tradition of nurturing students from across Long Island, drawing families who value both educational quality and moral formation. I had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand, for the second time, how this school dedicates significant attention to our children's education, well-being, and discipline. These are elements that are crucial for balancing the growth of young children. It is truly an impressive institution that prioritizes holistic development. The principal, Brother David, speaks very well and clearly demonstrates intelligence, passion, and worldly wisdom. His leadership reflects the school's commitment to fostering a strong sense of community, faith, and academic achievement. Saint Anthony's High School highlights the importance of education, athletics, and spiritual growth, welcoming students regardless of their specific faith background, whether Catholic or other religions. It stands as a remarkable example of a school that values both academic and moral development, preparing students to succeed in all aspects of life.

There's a memorial statue of Jesus Christ outside of St. Anthony's that I pass by almost every day…read more And nearly every time I see it, it's covered in dirt and left unclean, as if it were just another object instead of a symbol of our Savior. It's heartbreaking to witness, especially from a Catholic school that is supposed to be built on honoring Christ in every way. This isn't just about a statue, it's about reverence. That memorial is meant to reflect the love, sacrifice, and presence of Jesus, yet it's consistently neglected. For a school that carries His name, this lack of care sends a message that directly contradicts the values it claims to teach. When something so symbolic is left in that state, and when attempts to bring attention to it are met with cold and dismissive attitudes, it raises a serious concern: Are we really honoring Him the way we should? A Catholic school should be a living reflection of Christ, in its words, its actions, and even in the way it tends to something as sacred as His image. This is not written out of criticism, but out of a deep hope that someone in leadership will take this seriously. Because Jesus deserves more than just a place on the property, He deserves to be honored in how that space is cared for, every day.

This school ain't SO bad! I attended several years back, the school is beautiful, and the…read moreeducation splendid. Aquinas is based on academics nothing more nothing less, so you could imagine me and many others comparing it to other schools who had awesome trips, great teams, and even better atmosphere. Going into my senior year of college I can admit that those academics followed me enhancing my essay writing skills, typing (90 wpm depending on my anxiety), and organizational skills. Aquinas prepped me since sophomore year to start studying for my SAT's, now I've been studying for my GMAT's and Grad Schools applications because at the end of the day you gotta stay ahead of the curve. And with its academic nature I think this school is really competitive. I had a B average and was ranked rather low compared to the rest of the girls there. Bottom Line - You don't feel the value of this school and education until you need it, ex. College and onward.

I had great jobs and opportunities that i really contribute to the skills and education i developed in Aquinas. It took years to enhance the love I now have for education, constantly reading/growing. Now im able to pass that on to my daughter who Ive homeschooled before starting elementary school herself. Also the classes that really pushed me and shaped my future were classes you would least expect such as history, religion, business(stocks) and computer(budgeting). Class 2002
