I definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a great private school. My nephew and niece go there too!!

Not every year has been easy for us - and our children really run the gamut with academic abilities/attention issues, etc. However - If your Catholic faith is a priority for you, I could not recommend this school highly enough. It's small. It's traditional. It's classical. That does not really suit everyone, of course. But my husband and I understand that we have a very small window of time to fill our children's minds with philosophy, theology, literature, logic, morals, etc... eventually they will be on their own and can study whatever they like, but these early years are foundational. Saint Benedict's gets that. It's not perfect, of course. But we love it.

We enrolled our children at Hunter Classical Christian School for three years, drawn by its promise…read moreof a Christian, classical education. Sadly, what we experienced was far from what was advertised. The school's environment is toxic, driven by fear-based discipline and troubling situations that left our children anxious, disengaged and insecure. This approach caused lasting emotional and academic harm, which we're still addressing. The administration's petty behavior--marked by manipulation, dishonesty, gaslighting, and dismissive responses to concerns--made things worse. They prioritize image over addressing real issues, leaving families feeling unheard or cut out. Disturbingly, children are exploited purely for the school's image, enduring gaslighting and mistreatment that mirrors how parents are treated. In 2023-24, at least eight families (that I know of) left this small school; in 2024-25, at least 17 families (~40 children), including ours, left, some mid-year. Many of these families were trusted volunteers in the community. Seven teachers and administrators also departed this year, reflecting the chaotic environment. I wish I'd seen honest reviews before enrolling. If this helps even just one family avoid the pain our children and many others have endured, it's worth sharing. Please do your research before going here and don't disregard the red flags you may see.

Hunter faculty, administration, students, & parents form a special school, dedicated to the glory of God. Hunter students possess appreciation for truth & beauty, a deep confidence in themselves, & an admirable understanding of their faith. They trust the Lord & work hard without excuses. Is it the right fit? Visit & meet us to decide. The fruit of the Spirit is evident. Our programs are growing. Our faculty is excited for their calling. We've grown from 30 students to 150+ in 6 years, received full ACCS accreditation, & our High School starts this Fall. We prioritize new families' needs ABOVE the handful who chose to leave (there will always be a few at any private school.) We can't imagine a better fit. Actual Hunter families, committed to our mission (a large majority compared to a few reviews) agree.
