We enrolled our 3-year-old son at Sacred Heart with high hopes for a loving, nurturing Christian…read moreenvironment. Sadly, in under six weeks, our experience became extremely stressful and heartbreaking. From the start, we received repeated negative feedback about normal toddler behaviour. One bathroom accident was described to us as "the worst in six years." We were told his removing his shoes in class (normal in our home) was a problem rather than something to be understood. On his first full day, because he didn't nap, we were encouraged to move him to half days. By the end of the month, his teacher suggested he might be "better off returning next year." Shortly after, we were informed that our son was on "strike 5" due to having more bathroom accidents than the school allows. This was devastating especially because he had just undergone umbilical hernia surgery and was on a doctor-prescribed daily laxative, which caused temporary loss of bowel control. Once we realized how serious it had become, we immediately provided doctor's notes and full transparency. Instead of compassion, we felt pressure and judgment. Our son began feeling uncomfortable approaching staff when he needed help, which no child especially at this age should ever feel. We did not choose to withdraw him. We felt pushed out by policies that allowed no grace for a child healing from surgery. The emotional toll on our family was overwhelming. A faith-based school should lead with patience, understanding, and care. Sadly, that was not our experience. I share this so other parents can make an informed decision.

Monroe Township High School is a newer school, less than 10 years old. My oldest daughter is a…read morestudent there. The school is large and fairly modern with an adequate amount of parking for school events. The unfortunate part about the school is that it is just about at capacity and the student population in Monroe continues to grow. That being said, the children are getting a quality education in a modern facility. For the most part the children do not have textbooks, their curriculum can be found on their school provided iPad. The children's grades are all found online and the teachers are accessible. The school offers a large variety of sports, and other extra curricular activities. Overall the children seem happy and take pride in their school.

My daughter has been enrolled in this school since infancy, she is now 4 1/2 years old. The school…read moretake impeccable care of every single child. In the infant room, each teacher is assigned to the same 4 infants daily. I was very impressed with this as each teacher learns their assigned infants, rather than the infants being passed around and cared for by different people every day. My daughter had horrible eczema as an infant and her teacher was EXTREMELY helpful in getting it under control by following the skin care regimen the pediatrician recommended. My daughter was always clean, happy and healthy. I never had to worry that my baby wasn't being cared for. The piece of mind alone was invaluable. My daughter is now getting ready to enter the school's pre-k program. She has learned so much throughout the years at Laurel tree and I am confident that she will be prepared, if not over prepared, for kindergarten next year. I am always impressed at the creative and hands-on ways the children are educated. I will forever be indebted to Laurel Tree Academy, their owners, teachers and other staff. Thank you for being my daughter's home away from home!

Highly recommend! Our son, age 5, is currently in his 2nd year at MFS and we could not be happier…read more When he first started in PK (last year), we immediately felt welcomed by the wonderful administration/teachers/staff led by (the very approachable and involved) Head of School, Julia de la Torre. The overall school atmosphere is like something out of a fairytale. From pick up to drop off, we are greeted with smiling faces, kind students, friendly parents and an overall feeling of inclusion. Academically, we were impressed with the curriculum at the PK and K levels. In addition to his normal class schedule, our son has two special-subject areas each day; one being Coding (taught by the amazing Rachel Kaplan). All special areas are wonderful, but as I understand it, MFS is the only school in NJ to teach Coding (which is the future) at the PK and K levels. We are planning to start our younger son, age 2, into the PS program next year as he will be old enough to enroll (age 3) by September.

Over the last five years, I have been often asked to recommend Moorestown Friends School. Although…read moreI am told by regular academic students' parents that they are happy, we were very unahppy with the education our creative/musican son received. He came from a private school in Philadelphia where he graduated top of his class, and won Pennsylvania awards for musicianship and was head chorister at his professional church choir. He is also now an award winning pianist and composer. His creativity was saved at MFS by Ed Robertson and Rich Marcucci - just wonderful artists and musicians. Other than that no one else seemed to care about his level of musicianship. During his junior year we asked for specific help about applying to creative and performing arts schools. During College admissions night, the guidance counselors admitted to us they had no process in place for developing our creative students' porfolios. After checking with Westtown School, Friends Central, Friends Select and Germantown Friends, we realized that MFS was really lacking in their ability to help our creative children. After spending $16,000 a year on our son's high school education we were truly disappointed in MFS's lack of help for our creative child and also their lack of folow up after the college admissions night. They really had no idea how to treat college applications for creative students. They only seemed to are about Ivy League level students and had no interest in their creative students. We would truly like to know whether things have changed. If not, I will continue to recommend Moorestown High School or one of the Philadelphia Friends Schools if parents have a creative child and live in this area. Renee Jones

They have work opportunities on campus and town is nearby if they want to work in the community. They allow the kids to have their cars on campus from the first year, especially since they require the kids to get involved in a church outside of the school My daughter loves her admissions counselor, guidance counselor and her teachers. She has made a wonderful group of friends, has become involved in a church off campus and she is thriving. I think the biggest testimony to me was anytime we asked any of the students if they liked the school, they all said they loved it. The president is often the speaker at chapel and he teaches a class as well. I just can't say enough about this institution.
