Wonderful community, caring teachers, and supportive environment all looking out for your child. We came for preschool and now have a graduate and a 6th grader. Older child accepted into a highly competitive high school - most of the 8th graders get into the high school of their choice.

We adore the staff and teachers at SRB. Such a supportive community.

We initially just planned to send our son here for preschool and then transfer to our nearby public school. But we had such a great experience in PK-3 and PK-4 that we've decided to stay for the long haul. I'm so glad we made this decision! My son really blossomed in pre-school - thanks to the caring and engaging teachers. He's made some great friends and we've met some great families. Because of the small class sizes, I feel he's gotten a lot of personalized attention. And he's really excited about learning!

As a new family at St. Robert Bellarmine this year, we could not be happier with our decision to enroll our child. We have found the school to be very supportive and welcoming. The teachers truly care about the students. Beyond great academics, we have been very pleased with the focus on kindness and social-emotional support. Overall a wonderful environment for children to learn and flourish.

5 star school. This place has become a second home to our whole family, and we are all so happy to be back in school--safely!

Terrible. There are some great teachers and families, but the bullying by both students and teachers is inexcusable and the school refuses to address it. Two teachers in particular in the upper grades caused unnecessary and unwarranted problems. The environment in their classrooms is highly toxic, and certainly not the type of environment for children.

I have been part of the St. Robert Bellarmine School and Parish for 5 years! Our family has had a wonderful experience in our 5 years here. We have 3 children who attend school here. I am very pleased with the academics, staff, and the entire community! SRB is a place where you feel a sense of belonging. Everyone is so welcoming and inviting from the moment you walk in! They have a rigorous academic program, I am a teacher myself and they have far exceeded my expectations! This is a school that teaches values and also where you feel valued! I highly recommend SRB from preschool thru 8th grade!

My family has been part of the St. Robert Bellarmine community for the past 10 years. We love the school and community. Faculty, staff and administration truly care for the children and we have all made lifelong friendships through this community. My sons are not only receiving a quality education, but they are becoming kind, responsible young men. Could not be happier with the years we have spent here!

Warm and welcoming, the families and staff at St. Roberts are all invested in seeing my children succeed. We are very happy here.

We are in our third year at SRB and have been really happy with the teachers, the curriculum and the principal. It is a really warm community. The principal knows you by your name from the first time she meets you. The teachers are caring yet they challenge the students. There are a lot of extracurricular opportunities including several sports, band, violin, art club, drawing, legos, chess, etc. The hours of the extended day program are really helpful.

My daughters have been attending St. Robert Bellarmine for the past seven years, both starting in PK3. They enjoy going to school and have made great connections with their teachers and classmates over the years. Each teacher has provided a welcoming and comfortable classroom while challenging my girls academically. I feel they are given a great foundation to succeed and there are plenty of resources available to help them along the way. They have a flexible extended care program and they also offer a wide range of extracurricular activities after school. I appreciate that the principal is visible and active in the student’s day and always responsive to our questions and concerns. Attending SRB has been a great experience for us!

Our daughters love going to school at St. Robert Bellarmine. We have been parishioners and parents at the school for 6 years now, and really love the sense of community. Our daughters are fostered to love learning, and are growing into remarkable, kind, strong, yet empathetic young women. The girls have loved every one of their teachers, and they, along with the principal, have always been very responsive to any concerns. We love the way everyone takes care of each other here and the level of parent support. As a parent volunteer, it's nice to be able to have hands-on opportunities to help enrich the school and help move it even further toward it's vision of educating the whole child.

Great academics, Iicluding honors classes. Plus a great community - with excellent, caring teachers and very involved parents - that instills values and works together.

The teachers are wonderful I give them five stars. They are caring and love what they do. The principal is a disappointment. She is cheerful and helpful daily but is not able to discipline students, and admits students with discipline problems that were expelled from other schools. A student set a fire in school and it was minimized. Two days suspension and claims it was a little fire. Couldn't be happier to have my child move on.

We have been at St. Roberts since my 1st grader was in Pre-K 3, and we have our middle son in Pre-K 3 this year as well. We absolutely LOVE this school. The teachers are amazing - I feel 100% confident that my children are being cared for and loved each and every day. SRB does not offer just a great education, they offer a community that lifts a child's spirit and desire to do well. The parents association is phenomenal - they organize so many events throughout the year - Santa pancake breakfast, ice cream with the Easter Bunny, dances, etc. It's a hard decision to take on a tuition payment, but it is beyond a doubt the best money I have ever spent.

We started sending our daughter to this school last fall for Pre-K . We could not be happier with the outcome. Our daughter absolutely LOVES coming here. Her teachers are patient and nurturing and I truly feel like she is in great care when with them. The principal Mrs. Mijal is wonderfully focused on the kids and has a strong, responsible vision for the school. Enrollment continues to increase, in my opinion, due to her strong leadership. In addition, the school seems to have a lot of resources for a private school such as special ed programs, and a school psychologist. I also appreciate the consistent communication that we receive, and the opportunities to meet with other families. We were not members of the parish upon deciding to send our daughter here, but still feel a sense of community from the other families and children. We plan to continue with St. Roberts post preschool because of the wonderful experience we have had. I honestly feel like this school is a hidden gem in a neighborhood where can great schools can be hard to come by.

We researched a number of schools before deciding that this was exactly where we wanted our children to flourish. It's clear that the school leadership and teaching staff put the children first. There are a number of ways families can get involved in the school and Parish. This is our fourth year here at St. Robert's and have two children who take great pride in their school.

We are parents of a 3-year-old preschooler and could not be happier with SRB. Our son loves going to school each morning. It's remarkable how much he has learned in a few short months. We are also very happy with the entire SRB community from his teachers and the principal to the fellow parents.
