After visiting a different Montessori school and being attracted to that style of learning, I decided to finally visit Seton. I had known about it for a while, but didn't look at it because of the distance it is from our home. Once we visited, we knew that it would be a wonderful place for our children and our family. The drive is definitely worth it when we know that our kids will run into school excited to start the day and leave at the end of a day with a smile and proud of the work they have done that day. The teachers focus on the whole child and truly care for each individual.

I went to public schools through college, so a small, private, Catholic, and Montessori education were all new to me. On my first visit I was astonished at how quiet the classrooms were; the children were all hard at work on their own projects while the teacher gave a lesson to one or two students at a time. We decided to enroll our 5 year old and have been so happy with the attention, joy, and wonderful examples she is given. I consider the school to be such a treasure and cannot say enough good about our experience.

This is our 3rd year at Seton Academy. After trying other schools and Montessori options, we felt that Seton was the perfect fit. It wasn't until someone mentioned the solid foundation and peacefulness of Seton Academy that we really understood that a strong academic school with Order, beauty, harmony and nature would be possible without other issues. We ended up moving to Oak Park and don't mind the commute to Villa Park Seton Academy, because the solid feeling of a safe loving environment where children can't wait to go to school, actually understand what they are learning and still get to play outside for recess is a beautiful comfort feeling. The best feedback we received was from current and prior children themselves.
