St. Kieran is a wonderful school for both academics and character development. The small class sizes make it easier for the kids to get the help they need from their teacher and the teachers are all very dedicated to their students' success. I have three kids at the school right now and all of their teachers are receptive to their individual needs and check in with me regularly. The principal knows all of the students very well and is very good at working with the students and parents on any concerns they have. The tuition is very reasonable, especially considering the one-on-one attention your kids get. You can tell that the teachers and staff really love their kids and the school community!

This is our third year here. Great school. The parents are very involved. The kids treat each other so well. Great academic standards plus weekly Mass and daily religious training and prayer.

My daughter attended St. Kierans. I have nothing but praise for this school. My daughter blossomed and really excelled here, not only academically but also moral character development. The teachers were encouraging and gently pushed her to be her best. The mentoring program was especially great and allowed her to gain some valuable experience helping younger kids. If they had had a high school, I would have sent her there, too. It really is a gem.

In response to the previous negative response posted on Jan 14th, I could not disagree more. Before sending our daughter to Saint Kieran we researched and visited over 10 schools. We were amazed by the small conservative catholic atmosphere where all the parents network and share in supporting each other, the children and the staff. Some of the teachers travel over an hour each way to teach at this school, and we have families that travel 30-40 minutes each way to send their children here. This is more than a school, its a family. The comment about only being interested in money is completely false, the principal goes out of her way to make sure that if a family is having a hardship she supports them fully. Teachers are all fully credentialled even though they are not required to be. The school follows the state quidelines and then takes it 10 steps beyond in order to make this the safest experience and educationally rigorous curriculum possible. More importantly, the children are kind, respectful and have a love of Christ. Of course, there are bumps in the road at any school... but it is always addressed promptly with love and complete focus on the needs of the child & family.

This school has gone downhill the last two years. Its been very close to being shut down. The principle does not know what she is doing and is only interested in money. The teachers are under qualified. The only thing this school has going for it is the parent involvement. Very disappointed.

What a wonderful school! I am so impressed with the organization, learning system, wonderful values taught and the overall great loving community. I would def. recommend this school for your preschoolers-8th grade. It's the perfect safe environment.
