St. Augustine's is beyond words to describe - It's not just a school, it's a community.
Overlooking the religious aspect (which is important), the teachers and administration actually care, and its shows.
All the employees know ALL of the kids' names, as well as the parents too (security, lunch-staff, office admin, etc.). Teachers my kid hasn't had yet know his name.....The teachers actually want to be there, and 'craft' (mold) good children, and they go above and beyond around each and every turn.
Also, the kids there have personality, heart, and compassion, for each other and the world around them. They care about each other in a way you would never (NEVER) see in the outside world. Its actual love exuding in how they interact, play, and talk. They are curious beings, with empathetic hearts, growing into this world, and protected by the school, while at the same time allowed to find themselves and evolve into good people/adults.
The administration is also top-notch. From the front office, principal, vice-principal (Ms. Fessman!), Mr. Lou, and Father McSweeney and Father Figueroa . They all CARE, and know each and every one of these kids' names, personalities, and interest...............these people not only care, but they also LOVE these kids, and love their jobs (and it shows).
As the saying goes, 'it takes a village to raise a kid', and St. Augustine's has that down pat.
The tuition isn't that bad, and the product you see in your child shows each and every day.
The biggest investment you will ever make is in your children, and placing your child here ensures a return on that investment.
Thank you, St. Augustine's, for creating a child I will always love and cherish!!!
