SVDP is a great school with attentive staff and a safe environment for my kids. As a first time parent, I was nervous about my daughter starting school but once I met the staff, I knew she would be in good hands.

This school is a Dual-language immersion program which facilitates bi-literacy in English and Spanish. The school has done a beautiful job of developing my child's Spanish. And my kids love the strong community they have built! The staff is amazing with my children and have really made an effort to get to know them on an individual basis and cater to their needs.

When students in a classroom come together in a dual language program, they bring skills to help their classmates. Students can form a bond and closer connections as they help each other succeed. They can also experience a new level of cultural interaction and awareness as they form friendships with students of varied backgrounds.

It's my son's first year and first time attending a school and we made a good decision having him at St. Vincent de Paul. I can tell because he loves being there, he will tell me about his day and how much fun he had, I see him develop physically and mentally, making friends and learning about God. I'm very thankful for his teachers for helping and guide him on his development.

Mi hija a sido parte de SVDP por los pasados cuatro años. Ella esta aprendiendo la fe católica y aprendiendo a escribir, leer y hablar bien su lengua materna que es el español. El personal de la escuela siempre nos a apoyada en todo sentido y si están buscando una escuela donde quieran clases pequeñas y una comunidad que los apoyara les recomiendo que visiten la escuela.

It’s our daughter’s first year and she loves it. She’s learning and growing at an incredible pace and is really catching on to Spanish even though she didn’t know any going in. Very professional staff.

Saint Vincent de Paul immersion school is one of the best private schools we have in salem. I highly recommend this school not only for their excellence in dual immersion but also other factors like religion. Teachers and staff members are wonderful. I have witnessed myself how much they care for their students. I have an 8 month old baby and he will definitely be attending Saint Vincent de Paul in the near future.

My husband and I were looking for a small faith based school for our son. Our son attended another Catholic school in Salem, but St Vincent De Paul's Dual Language program made us choose them over the other school. Since our son has attended SVDP, we have had nothing but great experiences. The program is an immersion program which allows our son to explore language and culture. The staff are kind and nurturing, the classes small, and we cannot imagine sending out student anywhere else. As a Catholic family, we love seeing our son explore his faith in a safe environment with teachers who can answer any questions he might have. If you are looking for a small school with great instruction this is the school for you!

I went to St Vincent's school as a child and now my son and niece go there. The school has smaller class sizes and I feel if my son were to go to a larger school he would be lost. With the smaller classes the kids get more undivided attention on the areas that they struggle. The principle and residing priest are blessings in more ways than not. Their main goal is the well being of all the students. If not for them I feel the school would no longer be around. Since we are a small school we are always looking to raise funds for up keep and new books or electronics for the kids to use.

I was a parent and now a grandparent whose children and grandchildren went and still does go to the school. The parents of the students going to the school become like family to each other. One of the greatest gifts the school gives is the choice of education for their children. The school gives meaning and depth to the lives of the families who attends the school while it fosters values that are the hope for tomorrow. The rich traditions of the church, our school's community culture, and the amazing parental involvement attract students of diverse backgrounds, family incomes, races and religions. The school is committed to meeting the educational and spiritual needs of the children. It is a great school fostering a loving and caring environment for its students.

I went to St. Vincent's many years ago. I loved it. My education there was the best prep for college I could ever have. I graduated from there in 1971. It was the best and I hope others have the same experience. Have fun !
