After taking one step on campus, I knew that Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) was the right place…read morefor my kids. Living in the area, we are fortunate to have many options to consider: from public, to charters, to private faith and non-faith based schools. And, although my husband is an alumni of OLPH, I did not want that to influence my decision. However, I simply could not deny how comfortable I immediately felt and how impressed I was with the tour. It started with the kindness that I received as I walked into the office to start my tour. Another parent overheard that I was touring and welcomed me and told me about how happy she was with the school and the faith community. My tour guide Maria was so patient and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. And let me tell you I threw a lot at her as I'd done my homework! One thing that struck me was that no matter where we went on campus, there were connections. It became clear how much teachers and staff truly love what they do. Multiple teachers have 20+ year legacies, while others are former alumni, and still others started as homeroom moms and are now on the administrative staff! What makes them stay? Their dedication to educating children and providing a faith-based environment, their devotion to their teaching ministry, and the amazing staff they work with every day to shape our children into kind, responsible young people. It isn't just the teachers who have this legacy, but it's also the parents. In fact, there are some families who have sent three generations to the school! Like my husband, many former graduates send their children to OLPH. This is what makes the community unique and special. Then, there is the academics. With small class sizes and highly qualified teachers, your child will be set up for success. Besides the core subjects, every class from K-8 learns Spanish. Additionally, the school has a Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) room where creativity blooms. Lastly, as a faith-based school, religion is interwoven into the curriculum. The day begins with morning prayer and students volunteer to do readings over the loud speaker for all to hear. With weekly Mass and Sacrament preparation included in the day, children become full members of the church by the end of the third grade. Not Catholic? No problem! Although religion is a required part of the curriculum, receiving the Sacraments is a personal choice and many families choose our school with different religious or non-religious beliefs. We have a great sports program, wonderful pre- and post-school care, after school homework help, and so many fun enrichment programs to extend the day. We even have a Transitional Kindergarten program! We are a tremendous feeder into parochial high schools, with most of our 8th graders feeding into Brophy, Xavier, Notre Dame and others. Go take a tour today. I promise you won't be disappointed!

I went to the tour at CLS and was so amazed that I asked my Mom " are we being Punked?" From the piano music coming out of the chapel to the specialized attention and care my boys receive I couldn't be more thrilled. My oldest son is a bit ahead of his grade in some areas but his teacher went out of her way to create a secondary curriculum for him in these areas so that he stays challenged and excited. The level of character building and accountability that exists at this school is unparalleled. It takes a village:)

The education is top notch, they do prepare your children for high school. Ms. Weber is the middle school teacher for social studies and she is amazing. My children are learning the Articles of the Constitution right now. She brings history to life. During the first week of school at CLS they did a lot of team building activities and it brought the students together, from that moment on my children had friends. The kids are great and I have not seen or heard of any bullies. The sports program may not have a lot of practices, but I think it so kids are able to do other activities outside of school, which most do. I think the two coaches my children have had in after school sports have been great role models. Thank you CLS staff & coaches for being so kind and patient with my kids. It is wonderful to see all the teachers model true Christ like behavior.

Sports are not great, but it is nice that everyone has a chance to be involved. Music and arts aren't great either, but the same thing goes. However, I have many other things to say. The school has a huge favoritism problem in relation to what some students can get away with, such as the dress code. If your mom helps out around the school and donates a lot, you can wear whatever you want, like short shorts. Otherwise, it's a very strict dress code. Some of the teachers also have really bad favoritism, and some students get away with things that others do not. The principal and especially the counselor are pretty rude, and neither is very helpful. The students are overall terrible. Huge bullying problem to the point where I left halfway through my senior year. I dealt with constant rumors and bullying for two years, and the school failed to help. I've heard sexist, racist, etc. comments. You would think a Christian school would have nice kids, but nope. Everyone talks crap about everyone, even more than they do at public schools, in my opinion. The drug and alcohol problem is also just as bad as it would be at a normal public school. Kids do both during school hours and somehow don't get caught. I overall don't recommend this school. The social environment is terrible and made my anxiety spike all four years.

His teachers' commitment to excellence in education within a Christian context is both obvious and palpable. We are excited for him to be a student at VLHS, and we are fully onboard and committed to his education there. The VLHS curriculum is both challenging and nurturing. There is no doubt about that. The facilities are wonderful. Great classrooms...they are new, bright and clean. There are other options for private, Christian education in Phoenix; however, VLHS is intentionally small, and there are distinct advantages to small class size, particularly with the ability to give a lot of attention to each student. To be sure, VLHS is also a value in terms of cost...tuition and fees are about 1/2 the cost of other parochial high schools in the Phoenix. VLHS may well offer the best educational value for the dollar, and it may well be the best kept secret in Phoenix. Graduates go on to many of the finest colleges in the country.
