Our son is currently in Kindergarten, and we've just enrolled our younger son in their Pre-K 3 program next year. We could not be happier with our overall experience. Our son is loved and cared for, and his test scores have improved tremendously over the course of the year. He was struggling to learn to read, and they offered extra help and support, and he is now soaring in that area of development. More importantly, he's learning to be a kind, empathetic and spiritual little boy who knows what it means to serve others. We cannot recommend this school enough, and there are many ways to receive tuition assistance, so don't let the price tag of private education keep you from touring and considering this elementary school.

Our son currently attends Kindergarten @ IJS and quite simply we can't say enough positives about our familie's experience thus far. Our son has been welcomed by the amazing staff and community at IJS, feels supported, has significantly improved in all scholastic areas, and has grown as person. Any family looking for a place where their child will be provided a close knit, supportive environment where their child can excel academically and socially should consider taking a tour and meeting the faculty at IJS!

IJ is an excellent school! The teachers go above and beyond and genuinely care deeply about each student. IJ provides a very strong academic program and moral foundation. Highly recommend!

The teachers are top notch. They go well above and beyond the call of duty. They assist the school in so many other areas beyond the classroom. You can tell they put their heart and soul into their job. The small classroom sizes really benefit the students. Many classes have FINISHED the textbooks before the end of the school year and moved on to the next grades curriculum. That never happened when I was school! These students are definitely getting a leg up for middle and high school.

Great news for kids aspiring to go to Infant Jesus School (IJS) but not able to do so because of transportation. IJS has added additional route to Nashua North area (Broad Street, exit 6). Kudos to the Principle Mrs. Veilleux for her leadership. The best part is Mrs. Veilleux was in the bus today to ensure smooth beginning. This shows how much the school cares for the comfort and the safety of the children. This really touched my heart!-Ravi Datla

As a parent of a child at IJS I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best school in the area. The teachers there are dedicated to the students and go the extra mile in all aspects. The school itself offers a wide array of activities and the academics are top-notch. Sending my kid to IJS is the best decision I could have made. Amazing people and an amazing school.. IJS is the absolute best.

Infant Jesus is a wonderful school. The sincere and dedicated staff are consistenly providing quality education, often going above and beyond the walls of the classroom to do so. They integrate incredible enrichment oppourtunities in both Math and Reading and many extra currucular activities are available. Before and after school care are great bonuses!

IJS is a great school with great teachers! I cannot say that any stronger. The programs offered cannot be matched in my opinion. With reading and math enrichment classes for those that are advanced in these subjects, to their fabulous drama program, and a wide variety of school athletic and educational teams that consistently compete very strongly. The school is warm and inviting, and parent participation is strong and welcomed. IJS is coming back and I am very proud to be part of it!

IJS is not just a school in the typical meaning of the word. IJS is a family. A group of extremely special, commited, and dedicated teachers and staff who are excited to come to school every day, and educate and enrich the mind, body and spirit of each and every student. My own 2 daughters attended IJS from Kindergarten through 6th grade. I credit those 7 years as the very basis for what they continued in their education, and as being the amazing young adults that they have turned out to be. My oldest is ending her middler year at Northeastern University majoring in Environmental Studies. My youngest just completed her sophomore year at Colby College majoring in Neuro Science. Both have always been commited to being good christians, unselfish , giving and caring, and no parent could be prouder of what they have already accomplished, and what they will bring to society. I have no doubt that they will leave a meaningful legacy and an indelible mark toward making a better world.If you want the same result for your children, I see IJS as the best path toward getting to what you hope your child will accomplish in life, and to be the best possible person they can be.IJS will rise high once again the Nashua community as one of it's top schools. All the pieces are in place now. GO IJS!!

Great job choosing a new principal from within!! Who else knows the school and community better than someone who has been a successful teacher there.Love the 3 year old program, finally!

With two children in the program at Infant Jesus School I am very pleased with the level of their performance, the integrity and intelligence and compassion of the teachers, and the commitment of the community to maintain a safe, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating environment. I highly recommend this school, not only for its academics, but for its enrichment programs, particularly Reading Enrichment, which is a phenomenal approach to the skills that seem not to be introduced in public schools until well into grammar school or junior high. My daughter is learning things in her second grade Reading Enrichment class that my sixth grade nephew struggles with in public school.

Disgruntled, angry parents should not write bad reviews because of their experiences with one individual. Infant Jesus is a fantastic school and the changes that are occurring this year are a new beginning and a new start. There is no other institution in Nashua that compares when it comes to services for children who need a greater educational challenge. The Reading and Math Enrichment (advanced) programs are unsurpassed. I only wish I had this opportunity as a child. I would have went forward in my education so much better prepared. The faculty and staff (past and present) are the most caring individuals I've encountered in a school setting and no where else have I seen children who actually care for each other and support one another. There is no social hierarchy. They are one. It is a diverse, rich environment. The small class size only works to this advantage. It is a wonderful school. 100 years strong and hoping for 100 more.

I have two children; one a graduate of Infant Jesus School and one who is still currently there. The graduate now attends Bishop Guertin and went through Nashua Catholic. Infant Jesus prepared him VERY well for the rigor of middle and high school. My other child, the one who is currently there, is receiving the same (if not better) preparation than my first child did. The class sizes are small, teachers are excellent, parents are involved, and new leadership is doing a great job. What else can you ask for? The children are HAPPY. Trust me, don't listen to the naysayers. Go look at the children's smiling faces and see how well prepared they are academically. Yes, there are other catholic schools and they are great too but nothing beats smaller class sizes! We love it here. Happy parents and happy kids!

I disagree with the commentator below, Infant Jesus School is on a fast decline. I agree that the school has their "circle of friends" I will call it, The Parent Meeting should be held at night so all could attend,that would be how you get different ideas, why should someone leave their job to go to one of these Parent Group Meeting have all their ideas shot down because they are not in the "circle of friends" There is nothing vindictive of wanting to be involved in your child(ren) education but again if your not in this "circle of friends" you need not apply. I do agree with enrollment at Catholic Schools are down nationwide, but you will not find this at St Christophers where enrollment is actually up and they value your input which mean alot to some of us. I honestly hope that the new leadership can steer the ship in the right direction. But maybe a few of us looked at this school a little differently than you do. Thanks for letting me vent.

Infant Jesus School has gone through some rough stages recently. Whether is was because of the principle, some self righteous parents, or teachers who thought they should drive the ship, or the 22.7% decline in Catholic School enrollment nationwide. Now some people have left IJS and written some toxic reviews to somehow serve their sense of vindication, but families at IJS love our children, our teachers and the community that we share. There is a school for everyone, but no one school is for everyone. Infant Jesus School is under new leadership, dealing with declining enrollment that is seen nationwide, but we still have GREAT teachers, parents who are invested in the school and students among the best in the state.

Infant Jesus has amazing teachers that care about their students' education and their well being! They always go above and beyond for their students inside and outside of the classroom. The school has a friendly atmosphere and welcoming attitude. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in a superior, well rounded education for their child.
