This school does not reflect the values it claims to uphold. Instead of fostering a nurturing and…read morecompassionate environment, students are often dismissed, disciplined unfairly, or treated with little respect. Concerns about mistreatment are ignored, and there is little accountability from the administration. Education should be about more than just academics; it should be about respect, integrity, and care for students' well-being. Unfortunately, this school falls short in those areas. If you are looking for a truly supportive and faith-driven environment, I would advise looking elsewhere. (Preferably two 7th grade teachers who gossip and mock students). If you would like more details, please reply to this to see the full story.

Sending your child to SMCS is probably one of the worst decisions you can make as a parent. My…read moredaughter was there for 7 years. She not only received a disappointing education but was tormented by both teachers and fellow students. The principle targets certain children who seemingly have done nothing wrong. My daughter was suspended from the school for no apparent reason, and when I spoke to the principle about it, he could not give me a clear answer as to why she was getting disciplined. We had a serious run in with bullying at St. Marks but since the girl bullying my daughter had parents that donated money, the school refused to intervene. They care more about money than the mental safety of their students. I absolutely do not recommend this school

I can't say enough good things about Angela & her teaching capability. She worked with my 13 year…read moreold daughter. Angela is a professional through & through.

She is a consummate professional but with an open, caring and honest approach. She also has a delightful sense of humor that puts any student at ease. With her extensive pedagogical knowledge, she is able to skillfully use imagery, practical exercises and modeling to achieve results without burdening her students with vague technical language. Because she is a seasoned performer herself, Angela is able to provide a wealth of advice for aspiring singers. She is also a good pianist, a tool that comes in handy when required. Overall, I couldn't recommend her more highly!

My kid is repeating stuff at CFA in the 6th grade that he did in 5th at Porters Neck Elementary. When my kid was at another private school, he was academically, a year ahead of the public school. My kid is not challenged at CFA. I feel he is falling behind academically. There is some bullying going on and there are some disruptive students present which distracts from the other kid's learning opportunities as well. For example, a teacher's kid who is a student there had a tantrum and broke five cell phones belonging to other students. Another kid was punched in the face twice. My kid mentioned they have seven 3D / media printers but only one works. Obviously I am putting him in a different school next year. Although the teachers and staff are friendly, overall I am disappointed. For me personally I see no benefit to sending my kid here except it may be somewhat safer than public schools. While safety is always number one, school is for learning. Nothing personal, just my pragmatic opinion which I hope will be helpful / appreciated. Another consideration is that Wilmington has limited educational opportunities even if you can pay for them.

They even offered a discount code, so use code Teagan when you go for some money off!

Elise is a literal baby sleep wizard. We connected with Elise when my son was 2 weeks old and we…read morevery quickly realized we had no clue what we were doing. Thankfully Elise took us on as clients short notice and helped us implement a bedtime routine and work on extending our son's night sleep week by week. By the time Elise ended her contract with us, my son was 9 weeks old and giving us 7-8 hour stretches which is considered sleeping through the night. Now at 3 1/2 months he's going strong and giving us 9-11 hours. Elise was very good with our son and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands on her nights with us. She is very knowledgeable on baby sleep and helped guide us through his self-soothing but also made sure we were comfortable with the techniques and the timeline used to extend his sleep. If I have a second baby I would 100% hire Elise again. There is literally no price on a happy baby and both baby and parents that sleep.

Elise is extremely professional, prompt, trustworthy and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. From the moment we met, we could tell she genuinely listened to all our concerns and does a great job in articulating best practices and guidance. Elise is truly a master of her craft and is always striving to gain more insight in the ever evolving world of infant care. Elise is great about creating a system that is optimal for both baby and parents. By the end of her term we had a great system in place and left us feeling very confident and overall has been such a joyful experience for us all! We would absolutely recommend Elise to all our friends and family!
