They do such a great job of making school a fun and engaging environment. The elementary school is a wonderful environment with low student-teacher ratios, a beautiful blend of the traditional classroom with art and music built into the day. The middle school is wonderful. Small classes, personal attention, a great mix of fun, academics, and art. I have seen incredible personal growth for all three of my daughters. I am so thankful my girls get to attend Ursuline and join their incredible rich history of educating catholic young women.

The administrators and educators go above and beyond at this campus; students are shaped into the best versions of themselves through the guidance, discipline, and mentorship provided. Our family transferred to JCCS from the N.O. Catholic School System and I am in awe of the superior classroom experience provided to my children here (e.g. a Science Curriculum that not only included dissection but also a skill set of over a half dozen different types of medical stitches that were instructor demonstrated, student shadowed, then proficiency tested...WOW; and is your 7th grader being taught History by a published author? This particular instructor managed to not only capture the attention of my ADHD son, but he imparted knowledge that was carried, with I dare say, excitement back home.) The Curtis Family leads by example, they are personable, professional, and accessible to their students and parents; to be welcomed into their community by The All-Time Most Winningest Coach in high school football history was both humbling and inspiring, as he is the most genuine human being I have had both the privilege and pleasure of meeting. There is a winning attitude that is ever present and contagious, and the love, respect and support is not only shown by the faculty and staff but is also seen by the respect shown amongst their students. My family and I are more than impressed, we are PROUD TO BE JCCS PATRIOTS.

This is a wonderful school that I would highly recommend for your children. I have had all of my…read morechildren at the school and my experience has only been filled with positive experiences. My children love to go to school and look forward to all of the activities, project and the supportive learning environment the school provides for the children. The teachers are engaging, caring and create a warm environment for the children to thrive and grow. The school, and its staff has been very accommodating and loving to the children at school and to myself as a parent. The teachers keep me informed, are very willing to assist the child if there are any exceptionalities that require a calm, patient space to develop and nurture their social and emotional skills. The staff has spent time with me and offered me guidance and their expertise in our families journey through pre-school and entering our next adventure of upcoming kindergarten. I have to reference the biting incident review as it would be an injustice to the school not to do so as they likely can't comment but I can discuss my experience. As the parent of the child that was bitten and has a permanent scar from how hard and attached the child was to her arm that bit her I have to stand by the school and staff for their actions. The school most definitely acted in the best interest and safety of all of the children in the class, which is what you would want as a parent. My child deserves a safe space which the school recognized and is providing to all of the children. No one child is more important than any other at school. Yes, children bite but we should be aware and informed of the severity of the incidents and harm our child inflicts on other children. The parent is disgruntled at the school and leaving negative reviews rather than accepting the reality of their child's actions and behavior and focusing their effort on getting their child the support needed to correct the behaviors. Some parents are not willing to accept the hard truths about their child and it is only an injustice to their child to not seek them the help they are seeking out for through such actions. I will always support and recommend this sweet little school and all of its community of parents and teachers. The support is there for all children and parents by the director and teachers who make the extra effort to provide a safe and loving environment for the children of St. Augustine. I have nothing but the kindest words to share about my children's experience at St. Augustine.

St Augustine Pre School has not gotten any better since the other reviewers have written their…read morereviews 6-7 years ago. I attribute it to leadership that is utterly incompetent. Do yourself a favor and do not send your child to the worst pre school in Metairie. The teachers are very cold, show no affection to the children. My 2 yr old could sense toxicity there and never wanted to go. He had a couple of biting incidents (which is completely normal for 2 yr olds) and they sent him home for a week and told me I needed to get X-rays of my sons teeth to prove he is teething. I guess this was a CYA for the other parents of the children he bit. His pediatrician told them that he will absolutely not be getting un needed radiation, and that biting for 2 yr olds is normal. They acted like they taught for 30 years, but have never encountered a child that bit. While consulting with the director about steps we could take to get him to stop biting we were told "at some point you just need to be a parent" all while scrolling her Apple Watch. My husband went for a second meeting and had to tell her to stop scrolling her phone while discussing a serious matter. They do not care about your kids, and your kid will sense it and not want to be there.

The school's director, Victoria was great to us and always looked out for my child and others. The kids were disciplined accordingly and taught how to deal with their big feelings. But even though the ladies took good care of the children, the facility needs a serious upgrade. The toddler rooms were kept as clean as they could be kept but there are many things that needed to be updated. The bathrooms for the children for one are horrendous! It always smelled like urine and the lighting was always so dim and the toilets were nasty. The carpets in the some of the rooms needs replacing and there is one room closed off near where the kids had lunch that smelled moldy and you can see the mold on the walls. Also, there were dead roaches in there. I never saw the staff or a cleaning crew clean the toys after closing. There are livestream cameras but it's so outdated you really can't see anything. The video lags and it's pixelated and there's no sound. The curriculum was pretty consistent and standard for the kids but there was nothing really exciting for them to do. The older toddler kids, the teacher would spread dirty mats on the floor and put the kids on the mats with different toys to play individually. I asked one of the staff members if the rugs were washed weekly and was told that they were never washed ever. So that's gross! Some of the electrical outlets were broken and exposed to the children. The toys they play with are very outdated and dirty. You can literally see the layer of dust on all the books on the book case and the inflatable planets hanging from the ceiling. The staff looks overworked though and I've seen many times that it can be too much for them handling so many kids. So I think more educators can alleviate that issue and I think they were working on that. The playground is decent and the lunch area is okay too. Overall the school is okay but because the school needs so many upgrades I really would not recommend it.

My children have grown so much, they are more confident and always excited to share what they learned at school.

I highly recommend this academy to any parent looking for a place where their kids will truly thrive.
