Selecting right school for your kids is always the most difficult decision. As a parent you want to…read moremake sure your kid is safe, loved & protected. We felt it right when we spoke with MsEmily for the first time way back in 2018. We were on the waitlist for a very longtime but the moment they called me to confirm there is an open slot, I didn't think twice registering my then 4 yr old son to this beautiful school! Fast forward 2026- I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to you and St. Mary's as an institution for shaping my son's academic journey. This Thursday, he will be receiving the Honor Roll, and while I'm not sure how big of a milestone it is officially, I am extremely proud and excited because he scored 3.74 out of 4, earning A or A+ in all subjects. The strong foundation provided by your school has made a world of difference. Honestly, when we first enrolled my son, I was concerned about how he would adjust to a new environment and a traditional 8-3 schedule, especially since this was not a Montessori setting. I worried about his performance in math, science, and social studies. However, my concerns quickly faded when I saw how easily he adapted--finishing homework in just 5-10 minutes during the early months. It was clear that the teaching approach and support he received made learning feel effortless for him. Thank you for your dedication and for creating an environment where students can thrive. We truly appreciate everything you've done for our kids. I miss stmarys! And great job MsNel List is long on why StMarys is a great school and worth each penny! I truly appreciate you and your teachings! Looking back, I remember how scared and unsure I was when we continued with St. Mary's in 2nd and 3rd grade. Today, my list of gratitude for Ms. Nel, Ms. Nancy, and the entire St. Mary's institution is too long to express fully. The way St. Mary's teaches core concepts--multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, science, and language--has given my child an incredibly strong foundation. Two-digit multiplication and division are now a piece of cake for him! To our surprise, transitioning to another traditional private or public school has not been as challenging as we feared, and that speaks volumes about the quality of education at St. Mary's. Honestly, St. Mary's level of education is much higher than UCA. We deeply miss so many things: the organic food, the innovative tools, the no-screen rule, teachers who truly teach rather than relying on YouTube, the humane approach to breaks, creative playtime, and the productive after-school care. The list goes on, and it shows how much we value and miss St. Mary's. You are absolutely shaping future leaders, adaptive thinkers, and high achievers. Thank you for everything you do.

I also love that the class is made up of students ranging in age so my daughter has always had exposure to play and language modeling from older peers.

The teachers are so caring and present with the kids and in turn you can see how much the students trust and love them for it in return. If you're able to send your child here, consider yourself very lucky indeed.

My daughter was in first grade and would come home crying because the teacher yelled at her and other students. She came home crying telling me constantly she did not want to go to this school anymore. I confronted the teacher about this and things changed immediately after me keeping her home for a few days trying to decide whether I wanted her to finish the school year there. The teacher knew my kids reaction if she yelled which wasn't denied on her part that she did indeed yell at the students. She was nicer the last month of school that I kept her there. I paid the school registration for the year before I decided I was no longer bringing her back for the next school year and they did not want to refund my money and didn't care that we were leaving. Their administrative assistant Mrs Diego has the worse attitude, it's obvious she does not like her job and always seems unhappy when asked questions. The hospitality from her is horrible and uncomfortable. I have had my child in Catholic school since she was 4 Years old, unfortunately her old school shut down so it is the only reason why I moved her to OLA. She is 7 years old and she is forgetting her prayers, this school feels more of a high end public school in uniform, I did not feel it high standards on their curriculum or religion. I pulled her out and moved her to another Catholic school and I am excited to start our journey with them, their administrative staff is amazing, they try to be involved with the families since the first day you meet them.

The lunch and P ground staff can be unkind, and favoritism is rampant, especially toward Moms who are teachers themselves. Only kids who seem safe are the quiet, submissive ones who never speak up about mistreatment. The school has a high turnover of teachers, and principals are constantly rotating.
