i am very picky about the schools my four children have attended. Huron valley is an outstanding choice: an amazing principal, an excellent curriculum and nurturing, dedicated teachers. You can't go wrong with this school. I'm only sorry it took so long to find it.
We have had children enrolled at HVCS since 2003 and currently have 3 children attending. We are completely thrilled with the school. The quality of education coupled with it's base of Christian faith and principles is second to none in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Canton area. In addition to it's K-8 program, HVCS also offers a fantastic Preschool program for 3, 4 and young 5s. I would highly recommend this school to any family, Catholic or Protestant.
We have been very pleased with our educational experience at Huron Valley Catholic School. It has provided sound academics, leaving my older daughter well-prepared for the challenging curriculum offered at the private college-prep high school she now attends. It is wonderful to see the number of alumni that return to visit Huron Valley's teachers and classrooms on their days off from high school. It truly is an educational system based on establishing mutual respect and rapport between student and teacher. I believe that this personal relationship really motivates the student to excel. I would rate this school exceptional with outstanding educational and faith components. It is also an independent Catholic school, meaning it isn't associated with any one particular parish. It is parent governed and the parent board works closely with an experienced principal, whose character and strong sense of ethics are regularly evident in his decisions.
The academic program at HVCS is phenomenal. This is evident through high test scores and local private high school acceptance rates. The essential curriculum is traditional. Basic skills emphasized, with instruction given in grammar, phonics, spelling, math, traditional American history, geography, and use of the scientific method. Also important is the cultivation of study and organizational skills. We teach our students to become active, life-long learners, and give them the basis for essential skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and communication. We believe that students learn differently, thus, our teachers use many proven educational methods to teach students and meet objectives. The Christian atmosphere sets it apart from other schools. It is a smaller school which is what appeals to us - our children will get so much one on one attention over the years. Parental involvement is huge and quite welcomed. Student population draws from a diverse area including: Ann Arbor,
