The administration, staff, teachers, parents, and the students have a sense of humility that permeates school life and is a core value for the community. The entire community is focused on supporting a school that prioritizes academic excellence in an environment that is mindful of social and behavioral development and celebrates authentic diversity. We love the school's staff who work tirelessly to make this school a safe and joyful place and the skilled teachers who challenge and inspire. We have formed bonds with wonderful parents and have found them to be similarly dedicated to ensuring that their children are academically challenged, valued, and develop with a core sense of humility. St. James' is uniquely representative of this critically important balance that is talked about and yet so elusive but core to everything that is St. James'.

From the time they…read morewere little through having an 8th grader, our kids have thrived, gaining solid academic preparation, well-rounded interests, and a sense of belonging to a warm, welcoming, and active community.   The teachers at St. Brendan are terrific at all levels, starting with the expert Kinder teacher who helped set up one wiggly five-year-old for success and taught another to love reading over Zoom in COVID, all the way through Middle School teachers leading sophisticated discussions of novels and social issues and shepherding kids though high school applications.  When our kids have needed support, the teachers and the Principal, Mrs. Young, have been there and all along, our kids have been seen for who they are, cared for, and championed.  I also love that as a Catholic school, discussions around service and social justice are integrated into daily learning; our family is Catholic but many St. Brendan families aren't and the focus is largely on common values. St. Brendan also offers a wide range of opportunities for kids to learn teamwork and leadership and to expand their horizons, from successful but inclusive sports teams, to a spring musical that levels up every year, to a popular scouts program, and lots more.  The art program at St. Brendan is a standout; all grades have class weekly and the students make some truly remarkable pieces. That said, what really makes St. Brendan unique is the emphasis on togetherness and community.  The older kids look out for the little ones, with each upper grade student assigned a little buddy they spend time with throughout the year, helping our middle schoolers stay playful while learning responsibility.  Every family contributes service hours to the school, meaning parents are highly invested and present every day.  Our collective efforts add to the offerings for the kids and in the process, we've gained wonderful friendships and a sense of belonging.  I can honestly say there is always something fun happening at St. Brendan! As we start to look to the next chapter, we couldn't be happier to have found this amazing school.

Our Experience at This School - A Deep Disappointment…read more We enrolled our son at this private Catholic school with high hopes, trusting in its mission to protect and nurture the children of God. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing and concerning. This situation happened approximately one year ago, and as parents, we were devastated. It took us a long time to fully process everything that happened--not because we didn't care, but because our top priority was always to protect our son and make sure he was emotionally safe. The pain caused by what happened didn't affect only him--it hurt us deeply as his parents and family. We had to rely on loved ones for emotional support to cope. Now, after time and reflection, we feel able to speak about it because this should never happen again. When our son faced conflict with other students, the school's response was troubling. Instead of fairness and compassion, his teacher reacted with harshness. Her behavior was relentless and cruel toward a 12-year-old child. That conduct was inappropriate and did not reflect Catholic values of safety and respect. As a teacher, her role should have been to guide and support students--not judge or take sides. She clearly took sides, damaging the trust our son had placed in her. He initially felt safe and confident but felt betrayed. She never tried to talk with him about what happened or gave him a chance to explain himself. We were also disturbed when the teacher held a private conversation with our son without informing us. That happened during questionable disciplinary action, which we found unacceptable. We are concerned she held a personal grudge against him--something no school should allow. No child should feel singled out or intimidated by a teacher. It became clear she did not want our son in her class or at the school. She bullied him and damaged his self-worth so deeply we worried for his mental health. He no longer felt safe; he felt scared, anxious, and uncomfortable. He feared constant judgment, which made learning impossible. We also saw a divide between students who started young and those who joined later. New students were not treated equally or supported fully. This extended to extracurriculars--our son was excluded from sports for lacking experience, which left him isolated and discouraged. Eventually, we had to enroll our son in a new school. Transitioning to middle school was hard enough; being pushed out of a school he loved made it even harder. The school should be ashamed of how this was handled. No one stood up for him, and a teacher abused his trust and undermined his success. The school claims to follow Christ's example and hold high moral standards. That should include compassion, protection, and forgiveness. But these values were only words, not reflected in actions. The school failed to protect our son and allowed personal biases to guide decisions. Because of all this, we made the difficult decision to withdraw our son immediately. It was heartbreaking, but we no longer believed he was safe in that environment. We hope the school reflects and makes changes to prevent other children from suffering similarly. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this school--especially for students entering in later grades.

It's all business now. All about that $$$. We even had an annual fundraiser, where the parents attended a dinner and made a donation to the school but now the school is canceling the dinner but is still requiring you to make your donation! Their billing is all screwed up. The school acknowledged that they were overcharging us but wanted us to pay anyway or else our daughter was not allowed to return to school. One of the sisters supposedly had her receipt book locked up, so they did not have access to it and she was on medical leave. So the school pretty much said, "we are going to overcharge you and if we find any payments in her receipt book you will be issued a credit". Very unprofessional and inconvenient for us. It would have been smart to get this from the sister before she went on leave. Along with a list of other things that were cut and/or changed. Our daughter will not return this school year.

We are grateful to our teachers and community from kindergarten onward. Even though we have moved on, we can still feel the great support and guidance from each of their mentors through the years.

Both of our children attended CKS from TK through 8th grade, and the love, guidance, and strong educational foundation they received truly shaped who they are today. It's a small Catholic school, and that close‑knit community made our kids feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. The teachers and staff are kind, dedicated, and deeply invested in every child. CKS offers so many enriching opportunities: Academic Decathlon, a new exciting Mock Trial, sports, choir, drama, and more. Their faith life blossomed through weekly Mass and altar serving, which became a meaningful part of their childhood. The strong academic and spiritual foundation they built at CKS paved the way for their acceptance into a good high school and helped them thrive in extracurricular activities outside of the school. And considering the financial realities many families face, CKS offers a reasonable cost for the truly good Catholic education our children received. As a parent of two alumni, I can honestly say CKS gave our children confidence, character, lifelong friendships, and a solid start for the future. Once a Viking, always a Viking.
