As a parent in today s society I know bringing up a child and educating them is not an easy task. Today there are so many instantaneous influences that as parents it can be very emotionally draining and time consuming balancing all the evens that today s fast paced world throws at you while at the same time trying to give your child the best chances of succeeding in life. In first grade my wife and I noticed this trend and realized that we wanted to give our daughter not just a great education but also a great moral compass to make the right decisions as she grew up. We explored different schools and when went to St. Thomas we realized we were home. St. Thomas of Villanova has a great education program but it also instills the values and morals that we believe will be a pillar of strength for her, especially in later years when make the correct decisions are going to be crucial to her success. This foundation will help her to make decisions based on solid beliefs and education. As parents we need that added reinforcement for our children as they are gone 8 hours a day away from us, and we felt confident that at St. Thomas of Villanova that our child was not only getting the educational nourishment we were looking for but strong Christian values. All this added to together gave us a greater piece of mind in our child s future.
The entire St. Thomas of Villanova Community is a wonderful place for families. The school is quite special in that it offers the finest in fatih based education, academics, and other spritual and service opportunites. I have all of my four children there and the legacy in my family has continued for generations. If you are in the area I encourage you to attend mass or stop by the school for more information.
I love the fact that this school is small so that everyone knows each other - from the pre-school students to the 8th grade students. The class sizes are also small which ensures each student more individualized attention from their teacher(s). Because of that attention, my daughter has been able to move up a grade level on several classes such as reading and math. The faculty is very attentive not only to the students' needs but also to the needs of the parents as well. There is a wealth of extracurricular activities available at the school so that parents know that their children can get more than an academic education. The children can also develop their social needs with other students with other activities. My daughter has been thriving at St. Thomas for 3 years now and my husband and I couldn't be happier.
We moved our two daughters from the local public school to St. Thomas a few years ago after my wife and I thought long and hard about their future Jr. High School years. We wanted to give our daughters the best learning opportunities while protecting them from future influences that they could be exposed to in a large public Jr. High School setting. We had concerns about making this switch, since our daughters had already attended our local public school for a couple of years. However, a richer, stronger learning and character building environment at St. Thomas has made all the difference for them and us. We made the right choice!
