We've had positive experiences since our kids started here in the 2's and 3's on the preschool side. My 6 other nieces and nephews also attend this school and we've all had a great experience with SDP and SDA. This school has high rankings in academics but also has a wonderful team who all have your children's best interest at heart. Dr. Majeed, Miss Vernetta, all the teachers Miss Mickey, Miss Amber, Miss Haschke, Miss Oliver, Miss Jenn C., even all the front desk staff (Lonnie, Deena, Brittni), and especially the principal Jenn Salvatori have all been wonderful and helpful with our kids! There was recently an issue with another child was being very rude/disrespectful a couple of times and I reported it right away since my child was upset and crying. I'm happy to report that the resolution was swift. I was also kept updated about how it was being addressed both with the students and internally among their staff/teachers. SDA stresses the importance of the 4 R's Respect, Responsibility, Readiness, and Resiliency as well as academics with opportunities to advance. SDA was also very accommodating when we had to go to online school during COVID and truly care about your child's well being. My kids feel safe here, trust their teachers and administration, and have honestly thrived at this school since being here. I feel blessed to have this school so close to home and to trust my kids with a school that provides such solid support.

We have been attending SMB for over 10 years, and we couldn't be happier. Weekly curriculum includes art, Spanish, PE, science and music. Extra-curricular activities are available for EVERY interest! Band, theater, choir, orchestra, chess, robotics, ballet, sports, STEM, to name a few. Junior high students can choose from many electives, such as forensic science, anatomy and physiology, personal finance, sewing, improvisation, screen writing, and many, many others! The teachers are exceptional and truly care about the success of EACH and every student. My older children are academically doing well, and were challenged by SMB's curriculum. They are now succeeding in a Catholic high school. My younger children struggled to return to grade level after Covid-19 quarantine (SMB returned to in-person option in Aug of 2020, thank goodness!) The teachers and support staff dedicated much time to getting my children back up to par. I was touched! The school has math and reading specialists and a counselor present on campus. The students practice the sacraments regularly; they attend mass at least weekly, as well as regular confession and adoration. Priests can be seen regularly attending morning prayer, and the sisters are employees of the school as teachers, school nurse and playground monitors. I love having religious priests and nuns present daily in the students' school day. The principal is a phenomenal leader! Lastly, the parent community is unbeatable; very supportive of each other and prays for the students, staff and each other with weekly rosaries and monthly adoration, and bible studies. It is worth your time to visit this school in person. You will be blown away!

The school has uniforms which we absolutely love as well as a high dress standard which I think helps the kids many of which come from rough backgrounds feel good about themselves. The pace program which is set up for kids that are exceptional learners is another reason why this school is the place for our children to attend. We have gotten to know the teachers and principal personally and we feel lucky that we have such gifted professional teachers working with our children. The atmosphere and ideals that are being taught along with the push for students to be responsible for their own progression as well as beginning from Kindergarten through 5 grade to encourage the kids to get ready and excited about going to college is a unique concept.

We were concerned about getting him into an equally dedicated school here in the valley. And we were lucky enough to find Paragon. The ladies in the office were more than helpful when I stopped by to get details on enrollment. Once my son was accepted to Paragon and I had the opportunity to meet his teacher, I was overjoyed to learn that she had obtained her Masters in Elementary Education and was starting her 9th year at Paragon. Obviously the teachers are educated and dedicated. As a parent, I can't ask for anything more to guide my child and shape his mind. Thank you, Paragon Science Academy. We are looking forward to a wonderful academic season! Sincerely, Kendra Morrow
