I would say that all in all the education is very good and the ethics and values are in line with Catholic teaching

Carondelet is the phoniest place I have ever seen. They claim to have a catholic message when in reality all they care about is money. They do not care about the well being of your daughter, but rather how much is in their pocketbook. I may sound bitter, but I'm just being brutally honest. This school will completely destroy your daughters mental health between the ridiculous amount of work and bullying that goes on. They also claim to prepare your daughter for the real world, but how is only communicating and interacting with the female gender preparing her for that? The administration is messy and rude, just like its students. Unless your daughter is a 4.0 student athlete, they will not be valued at Carondelet. Your daughter will do much better at a public school and be much happier.

Going to Carondelet is probably the best thing that has ever happened to be. I feel very loved and safe every time I walk onto campus. The sisterhood is a real thing and you can feel it every where you go. The faculty and administration truly care about their students in and out of the classroom. Carondelet pushes us girls to strive for greatness in whatever area we are interested in. They provide their girls with opportunities to use their passion to create and be a part of changes going on in our world. The spiritual aspect of the school is so special and one of the my favorite parts. Carondelet respects girls of all religious affiliations and they encourage us to share our opinion. I am proud to be a cougar and a part of the sisterhood and their is nothing negative I could say about this amazing place I get to call my school everyday.

I think had I had the opportunity to make the decision all over again....I would not have chosen Carondelet for my daughter. Here's why....I think I was thinking that she could escape some of the drama of adolescence here...she has not. I thought that the quality of education and athletic opportunities would be awesome....and it is but pushing "excellence" in all things has really done some damage to my already insecure daughter. The bar is pretty high and reaching a state of "excellence" is not easy...the push for it and constant cheer leading to strive for it at first felt motivating...but now feels unrealistic and almost wrong. The girls here are very stressed out and I'm wondering how that will play out for them in the future.
