Only a few have changed through the years most of them she has been with since kindergarten. This school is very active in all forms of art. Each year there is a school wide play and then each class has a class play. There is also a band in 4 & 5 grade and chorus and art and dance. So many exciting things that most schools don't have.

Keep your kids away. As a parent, I'm heartbroken and frustrated with the state of St. Patrick…read moreInterparish School. While the teachers themselves are caring and dedicated, the administration under the current principal is an absolute disaster. Negligence and lack of basic child safety are ongoing issues that have been ignored or brushed aside by those in charge. The school's leadership is unresponsive and unaccountable, making repeated and serious errors that put children at risk. Communication is poor, concerns from parents are dismissed, and there seems to be no real oversight or willingness to improve. To make matters worse, the St. Augustine Diocese--who should be stepping in to protect students and hold the administration accountable--is just as indifferent. It's incredibly disappointing to see such disregard for children's wellbeing from those who claim to represent a faith-based educational institution. I wouldn't trust this administration with my child's safety or education. Until major changes are made at the leadership level, this school is not a safe or trustworthy place. The teachers deserve better (as there are so many who stay because of our kids)! The kids deserve better! And parents deserve the truth! Avoid St. Patrick at all costs. Please pray with me that the new Holy Father makes the changes needed in Catholic education in this diocese.

My son started when the school opened when he was 2 and graduated from VPK last year at age 5 (we…read morewent for four years). As an only child, I was very worried about him being isolated from other children because social interaction is so critical at this age. At Open Arms, he learned so much - his ABCs, how to count, write his name. He learned how to share and interact with his peers. He learned acceptable behavior and when his behavior wasn't the best, the teachers all worked with him on "better choices." Since he was a full time student, I particularly liked the combination of organized activity and free play time (both inside and out). Play is a child's work and it is through play that they learn. That he had a great balance is very evident in the person he is today. What I also like is that over the years, the staff has had a mix of age groups. It's not just older women, some are just out of college, some are moms with kids of their own. I really liked it when there were two guys on staff who were great role models. We were very fortunate to have been able to spend four years at the school. My son does like to come back and visit his old teachers.

I took a practice GRE here and the staff were very nice and helpful in explaining the differences…read morebetween the test I was taking and the real thing. However when I got there initially I was told to take a seat and they would call me in to take my exam. I sat and waited for thirty minutes before I finally went up and reminded them I was there and they took me back. I didn't really mind because it was a practice round, but if that had been my real test date it would not have helped my nerves! The computer and the station I took the actual test on was dirty and was distracting while taking the test. There was black hairs randomly on the screen and where I was supposed to place my ID which grossed me out. Overall for a testing center it was fine, but they could defiantly improve their cleaning practices!

The facility is well upkept, and no equipment was falling apart or anything. It was also a nice touch to have gigantic posters of the different algorithms to glance over in the rooms. Our instructor Melody was phenomenal! I learned she came from the Gainesville location. She made the experience worthwhile/exciting while not drowning us with information overload. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. Her personality made the experience less stressful as it was new ACLS certification for me and I hate testing. We watched the lectures and had more of a big group discussion after each one, where the class lead, and she helped "fill in the gaps." When I had clarifications or wasn't too confident on something, she took the time to listen and answer my questions, along with providing tips on how to "digest" the information or giving tips or mnemonics to help remember certain information. I didn't feel rushed when stopping the discussion to ask a question, nor did she make me feel "dumb" for asking. She also emphasized that even though everything is generally important to understand, she also took the time to tell us what's "commonly seen" or not seen in practice. As I've stated, I hate testing. But after doing all the videos, discussions, and mega code (hands on things), I felt more at ease. And even after finishing the exam, she allowed us to stay and discuss/clarify any confusions we had on the exam, and explain the reasoning. I will definitely be referring to this site to all my colleagues! Melody was awesome! Thank you! I look forward to renewing with you all in the future.
