I love St Boniface! It is academically challenging and emotionally nurturing. I have two children who attend. As a working mom, it is also my 'village'. If I am running late to pick them up, there are numerous 'family members' I can call. The staff is very supportive and involved. I love the volunteer opportunuties available-both in the classroom and out. You are able to do as much (or little) as you want. The setting of the school is beautiful and rural, including an outdoor classroom. I appreciate the well-rounded education-Spanish, Art, Music, Band, Physical Education. With all the cut backs in the public schools, it is nice to continue to see these offered.
As a parent of two children at St. Boniface Catholic School, I cannot be more pleased with the education they're receiving. But it's so much more than their education. They are learning about their religion and what it means to be a Catholic. This was something I never received as a child. In this day and age, faith is so important. Let's face it - I wanted it all for my kids - a wonderful setting where they can be nurtured, strengthen their hearts, minds and faith, and somewhere they can call their own. Couple that with the hardest-working, selfless, dedicated, passionate, caring teachers on this entire planet, and now you're talking St. Boniface! I couldn't be happier knowing that my kids are in the BEST hands, minds and hearts every single day. They are encouraged to do more than I ever thought possible. And they are doing it!
I think St Boniface is excellent. The academics are strong. The class sizes are small, only 19 kids in my son's third-grade class. The music and art classes are great and the kids learn Spanish at all grade levels. The scouting, DI programs and athletics are all top-notch. I found the comments about bullying to be interesting. I do believe this was an isolated incident. To give an example, when my son was in second grade a child was held back to repeat the grade. A letter was sent to all parents letting them know that no teasing of this child would be tolerated. It wasn't even an issue for the kids. The moms at this school are wonderful and open to meeting new people as well. It's truly a remarkable group of women. I love the atmosphere of both this school and church.
Five stars is all I can give?? Academically St Boniface sets the bar for all the local schools, but all in this area are very good. What sets St Boniface apart from the others is that the children have excellent programs in all the core areas (math, reading, english) but also have great programs in art, music and computer technology with classes several times each week. More importantly at St Boniface the children come first. As for parent involvement, parents can be as involved as they wish which is great because there is a lot of parent involvement in the classrooms, extracurricular activities including sports, forensics, DI and scouting. The true test of a school is how well their students perform in the future, over 75% of the graduates of St Boniface will take AP classes in their first year of high school.
