There are so many things I can say about St. Denis. I've been very happy with my children's progress here - academically, athletically, and spiritually. We have felt very welcomed into a family community here. The teachers are caring and creative, go above and beyond to make learning fun and challenging, and find ways to reach every student and every learning style. But it wasn't until this year, when my child reached 6th grade, that I really saw what a treasure this school is. My child is being challenged academically at every turn, and enthusiastically rising to meet those challenges. This attitude translates over into involvement in sports, music, and service activities as well. I know that these kids will be incredibly well-prepared for high school and college. I would recommend St. Denis in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking to bring out the best in their child.

I feel St. Denis is a wonderful school. My daughter has attended St. Denis school are 4 and going into our 5th. The education that she is receiving there is amazing, the school offers advanced technology,art, music,health and physical education as well the required curriculum. My daughter feels that she is part of family at school. The staff and teachers at st. Denis school really care about each student whether the student is in their grade or other grade. This shows through in the student at the school and in the ones that graduated.I'm so Happy that we found St. Denis school and look forward to our years there!

I have one daughter at St. Denis and one who has graduated. I can not say enough about the quality education they have received. My daughter was extremely well prepared for high school and continues to take all honors and AP classes and is excelling thanks to the wonderful foundation she received at St. Denis. My other daughter loves going to school, has many friends and has developed into a compassionate and caring teenager who knows right from wrong and understands that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated. I have also made many friends and will be sad when it is time for her to graduate. If you are looking for a school that has outstanding academics and feels like home then please check out St. Denis.

I can't recommend this school enough. My son started Kindergarten at St Denis in September 2011 and he loves going to school every day. He has learned so much academically but is also in an environment where morals and kindness to others is instilled every day. The teachers are truly invested and it feels like a family!! Whether you are Catholic or any other denomination, all are welcome!!! St Denis is a family oriented fantastic learning environment!!

A year ago I was searching for a Christian School for my only daughter. I looked at St. Peter's, St. Dom's, St. Paul's, St. Veronica's, Holy Family and St. Denis. St. Denis surprised me the most. First, there was no pre-assigned type of student or family. The population of students, parents, and teachers was very diverse. Yet all had one thing in common, being a community that encourages our children to grow into mature, responsible adults. The school including the teachers and principal TRULY have an open-door policy. The teachers are adaptable and approachable. The older students really enjoy being prayer partners with the younger kids. Children, teachers, and other parents accept children for who they are. There is no competition between students or amongst parents. Everyone enjoys being part of a community whose main purpose is to prepare our children for their future. I could not be more happy with the small but mighty school we chose for our daughter. Half way through K she can read, and write, received 100% on spelling test. Loves GOD, her peers, teachers and HERSELF. What more could you ask for?!

At St. Denis my two daughters have both attended and recieved an outstanding education. The teachers are excellent and care about the children. With a small class, my daughters excelled to their very best. The school is very adavanced with smart boards in almost every classroom! They have recently introduced the "Rosetta Stone" language learner.

I would say I am on the fence about St. Denis. I have no doubt that the teachers care a great deal about the students. My child did very well there. However there is way too much parent involvement. It seems as if the parents can do as they please and the administration just has to accept this beacuse they wouldn't want to loose students. Enrollment is very low.
