Alverno provides a superior environment for teen age girls. The teachers and staff are wonderful and truly care about their students. My daughter has blossomed into a lovely, responsible individual who loves her school, her friends and the teachers.
I'm an alumnus of Alverno. I must say, it was a tough school academically! I was more than prepared for college. Unfortunately, I then attended PCC and a state university - Alverno had prepared me for so much more. College was almost like taking a step backward. I was getting Bs and Cs studying my brains out in high school...yet flew through college with As! How sad these public colleges are set up for mediocrity.
I'm a recent graduate of this school and I can say wholeheartedly that it is worth the expense to send your daughter to this institution. The faculty and staff are very attentive to the students' needs, and the administrative staff in particular is always accessible to both parents and students. The calibre of the Campus Ministry, Athletics, and AP programs is superior. I will say though, that there is room for improvement in the departments of math and science; the shuffling of staff every year doesn't help to keep cohesion within the departments and students get discouraged when there is a new teacher every year for the same subjects. However, I am currently a student at UCLA and I feel that I was definitely prepared academically, socially, and spiritually because of my time at Alverno.
