You will be amazed at what they have in store for the students. Truly innovative and exciting, with faculty as eager as we are to have the learning process begin. We can not wait till August!

Please see pics and vids I took showing how serene and peaceful the garden is. It's a bonus, too that our family was chosen to carry the cross and candles during the processional walk at the end of the mass. The usher even took a picture of us that we can keep as a souvenir. We will certainly be back whenever we are in the area again.

Mr. Landeros often seems to focus on issues that don't matter like for example if it's about…read moresomeone lying about someone else.. He just believes the first person that tells them something rather than addressing the core concerns that affect students. There is visual and audio evidence, yet it appears some students' concerns are not being fully acknowledged. For the past few years, my daughter has been experiencing some challenges, and I believe there may be misunderstandings. Additionally, there have been reports of students being advised not to socialize with each other, and there have been instances of phones being taken without parental consent. I feel that more open communication with parents would be beneficial, as there seems to be a lack of responsiveness to calls and emails. I am concerned about the overall environment and plan to discuss these issues with the archbishop to seek a constructive resolution. My hope is that steps will be taken to ensure that the school promotes a positive and respectful atmosphere, where students learn both academically and morally. Hopefully this helps other parents before bringing and spending their money.. I'm sure public school is a lot cheaper.

All of our kids love the campus and the teachers. The curriculum is challenging but the school is always finding new ways to make learning fun. VCS encourage family unity and there are many social events for families. We feel like VCS is our second home and we have made many friends there, friends that we actually like to hang out with outside of school. As a parent I am always worried if the curriculum isn't challenging enough so when other kids come to Village I ask the parents if their children find the work too easy or more challenging. I have yet to hear of one parent tell me it is easier than their previous school. The teachers and staff alike truly care about these kids and love God. It is evident the moment you set foot on campus. VCS promotes college at an early age and will guide your children through the entire process and hold their hand every step of the way. They focus on what the children like and what they want to study. VCS is a wonderful school and we are so thankful our children have the opportunity to attend.

Our 3 kids attended a different Catholic school, and in 2008, we decided they weren't receiving the education they and we, as parents, felt they deserved. Well, they are getting it now! My eldest graduated St. Charles and entered high school with honors. Our two other kids are thriving as well, and when they slip a bit, the teachers are always willing to work with them to get them back on track! And its nice to know that the morals and values taught at home are extended in the teaching at St. Charles. But perhaps the best part of switching to St. Charles is when our kids actually THANKED us for sending them here! LOL..yep, that's the truth! Thank you to the faculty and staff for making our kid's time at St. Charles such a fulfilling experience! Jen S.

St. Bernard is a great school!…read more I actually teach the after-school Enrichment program at St. Bernard through Carney Educational Services. This was my first year teaching the program at a private school and I loved it! I went to public school my whole life, but this school makes me want to put my future kids in private school some day! There was a brand new principal this year, Ms. Samaniego, and I must say that she is the most involved, open-minded and caring principal that I have ever met! Growing up, I don't remember seeing my principal around very often, but Ms. Samaniego involves herself with the students, parents and faculty every chance she gets. She will serve lunch to the kids, walk them out to their parents car after school, and even set up chairs in the hall! She's always running around, but it's so great to see a principal with so much energy and passion for the students and the school! As an after-school teacher, I only see what goes on after school, but I've met all of the teachers and they care about the success of the students. At Carney, we work hand-in-hand with the principal and faculty to make sure that the students gain the best education that they can and become unique and successful individuals. Even the parents AND grandparents are great! Everyone works together to create an exciting and supportive learning environment for these kids. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be apart of the school this year. Myself and the Carney Site Coordinator tried to be as involved as we could by going to their annual fashion show luncheon, Kindergarten and 8th grade graduation, volleyball games, and we even put on the first Carney-Val for Halloween. The energy at the school is contagious and you can't help but get involved. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in private schools. It is definitely a school to look in to.
