My kids had gone to Catholic school all their school year. I had experience two other Catholic schools and St Syms is our third. I can say St. Sums is my #1 favorite . My daughter Is a special need child on a IEP. Even though Catholic schools don’t offer the same services as a regular public school, I can say The teachers and principal do their best with special need kids in getting the service they need. I am satisfied And will Continue the Catholic School education.

Two of my three children attend St. Symphorosa school and we could not be happier with the overall learning environment that St. Sym's provides their students and the peace of mind knowing that we as parents have every day, knowing that the our children are in the best hands possible. The teachers are very friendly and keep all forms of communication open with families. The student body are growing in Faith and are some of the most respectful children I've ever known. St. Symphorosa is preparing our children not just for high school and college, but with knowledge and principles that they can use for the rest of their lives.

We are new to the school and so far everything has been great. Everyone was very helpful in getting things coordinated to start the school year. There was a parent's night before school started that new parents attended which provided good information on what to expect. That was followed by an opportunity to tour the school and meet the kids' teachers and ask questions.

St.Symphorosa has been home to my family for the past 3 years and going strong.The school principal Dr.Berry truly cares for the kids and you can also see it in the staff.My son is able to learn and grow in his faith and while being in a small classroom setting which allows him to have additional support when needed.The school is always looking to implement new programs or activities that are beneficial to the children. Overall I am extremely satisfied and proud to be able to send my son to this school.

We started this year in Pre-K. Our daughter loves going to school in the morning. We have had such a positive experience at St. Symphorosa School. Communication to parents from teachers, administrators and even the school board members is great. Even in Pre-K the kids are getting math, language, music, and gym weekly. There are always activities for the children as well as families, and families are very involved in the school. Being new there, we weren't sure what to expect but the pride that families have in their children but also in the school shines through and makes you really want to be a part of it. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a private school in the area. It has been a wonderful experience for us.

I absolutely love this school and my daughter does too! I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a school nearby. They offer so many great services and genuinely care about the children. Principal Kathy is amazing, she is not one of those principals that just hides in her office (like some of the others). Principal Kathy is always involved with EVERYTHING that she can get her hands on. She is always around at drop offs and pick ups, ensuring that all the children are safe and everyone is following the safety rules set in place. She even sends weekly email updates to ensure all parents understand what is going on with the school. Overall, I am really glad I found this school because it has truly provided me with the peace of mind every parent should want for their child. Thank you so much for being the best!

My daughter goes her and she just loves it! Even on the weekends, she asks to go to school! She loves her teachers and the teachers, faculty, and staff really do care about the students here! I’m so happy with the way my daughter is flourishing at Saint Symphorosa!

St. Symphorosa is an excellent school. My daughter is currently enrolled in Pre-K and she absolutely loves it! As do I. Everyday when I pick her up, she says "Mommy I don't want to leave school!". The teacher and staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The teacher truly care about their students. Keep up the good work, St. Syms!

This is our 2nd year as a St. Symphorosa family. We’ve been so happy with the staff and community! My daughter looks forward to school, has learned so much and has blossomed in a small amount of time. Couldn’t be any happier with our decision to send her to this school! We plan on enrolling her younger sisters within the next couple years when it’s time.

I am extremely pleased with St. Symphorosa. The school is run very well and has great teachers and administrators. At St. Symohorosa they care for the academic and spritual well being of the child.

Highly recommend. We are new to the School this year. Faculty have been so helpful with the transition when it comes to financial assistance to even communicating with teachers. I love the way my children come home saying their new prayers and learning our catholic beliefs.

We originally moved into our neighborhood because the public schools are highly rated, but when our 3 turning 4 year old was too young to enroll at the neighborhood public school, we decided on St. Syms. We've been so happy with our decision. My sons classroom is small and with two teachers for 20 students, they all get plenty of attention and help. The pre-K teachers send pictures and updates daily through Class Dojo (a social media type platform only for their class). The activities are so cute, for example the family project his month is making your own child sized vehicle. The kids will then watch a movie as a drive-in type event. Even the teacher who covered my son's class for maternity leave was excellent. Great school, great events.
