I attended SSPJ many years ago and felt more than adequately prepared for high school. The morals and scholastic habits instilled at this fine school have carried through my life to this day.I now have 2 children attending SSPJ and I am very happy with their education. The school cares so much about their students as whole persons. They nurture their souls as well as their minds. My children love going to school every day, which is truly a testament to the environment fostered within the walls of SSPJ. They are also achieving within the top 10% nationally on terra nova testing so their enjoyment at school goes hand in hand with effective education.I feel that SSPJ is worth the financial investment and the 20 minute commute for my children. We moved from one of the area’s very best school districts to a far less desirable district because of our confidence in the education at SSPJ.

I have 3 children at SSPJ and could not be happier with not only their education, but also the support to them growing as individuals. The community is loving and supportive and the personal education is that of an expensive private school for a very small fraction of the price. Could not be happier here!

The 8 years I spent at SSPJ shaped the foundation of who I am today. I own a software development and online marketing company but I still make it to weekly mass and run my business with a God-first mindset. I owe so much to SSPJ!

10/10. As a graduate of Saints Philip and James, I only have positive things to say about the school. The eight years I spent at the school challenged me intellectually while nourishing my spiritual growth. The teachers at the school were devoted to helping every student achieve their goals. An investment in your child’s education at this institution is an investment in their future.

Each of my children had a positive and rewarding experience at SSPJ. The bonds they formed with other students, and the school will last a lifetime! All 4 of my children graduated from SSPJ and went on to Honors classes, Advanced Placement classes and were well prepared for those challenges.

As a parent, I felt that my children, their academic and 'human' potential and spiritual relationship with God were valued and celebrated at SSPJ. There is no better platform for their future happiness than that. 'Success' is a relative term in today's world. My children are loving and happy.

My 3 children attended SS Phillip and James from K-8th grade. All went to great colleges, earned advanced degrees and are doing well in their professions. SS. P&J was a great first step in their education.

It is hard to put into words the value of a great school. Through a shared responsibility with SS Philip and James School, I have successfully launched 3 well educated, kind and generous children. Two are engineers with advanced degrees and one is well on her way to helping individuals suffering from mental illness. But I am most proud of their generosity to others after leaving the nest. This is a great credit to SS Philip and James School and a testiment to the value of teaching values.

As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. All five of our children benefited from an SSPJ elementary school experience and have gone on to great success in high school and beyond. The seeds of learning planted here have yielded a teacher with 2 master's degrees, a US Honor Graduate Marine, a pre-med honors Junior at University of Scranton and two honor students at Bishop Shanahan High School. Thank you SSPJ for preparing them so well for academic success!

My experience at SSPJ has been wonderful since day one. The families and community of teachers is top notch and I have always felt part of a loving community.

I have 3 kids at the school who are doing wonderfully. I feel all of them will be ahead of the curve when they head into high school. 21 of our 31 7th grade students qualify to sit for the Neumann Scholarship exam in September.

Strong community. Love the "prayer partners" where older grades mentor younger grades and guide them. School consistently out ranks other chester county schools in Terra Nova testing. So far I am very happy with the school.

My children attend SSPJ and we have been very happy with academic rigor and values emphasized in the classroom. Student behavior and academic success are both held to a high standard.

This school is out of date with education. The middle school is the worst and the administration and teaching staff in the middle school need a major update. I don't see this school be open very much longer.

I have 3 children in this school and my oldest has been there from Kindergarten to grade 7 so far. I could not be happier in this school. God's love is palpable in the classroom. Great teachers and great academics. The high quality academics is reflected in the results of standardized testing like the TerraNovas. Honors math is a strong program and a new Spanish language program will be starting next year (finally!). The annual school play is a high-school-quality production. The music and art programs are both excellent with an extended music program to be started next year. Parent involvement can be as much as you want -- and the parents I've worked with are very dedicated & all nice families. Negatives include the fact that I'm regularly asked to send in supplies (tissues) or snacks or other items for special
