Private Schools

Doodlewaper review affirms why I WHOLEHEARTILY RECOMMEND QOA school.  In my view, a strict teacher is not crazy, rather a GEM in this culture of permissiveness that only serves to bathe our children in narcissism.  Both my children had GEMS such as Ms. Allen while attending Catholic school, especially Mrs. Ludvikson. Some parents complained about her being too strict, and my children were not always happy with her, but they now consider her the best teacher they EVER HAD, and attribute much of their success in higher education to her and other teachers who chose the unpopular narrow road. After being accredited for an Engineering Degree at WSU, my son ultimately decided to become a teacher with multiple endorsements in Math and Science, teaching at the high school of his choice for over ten years.  My daughter is also a teacher.  They received a superior Catholic education grounded in Life Principles and Truth while growing in virtue and holiness.  I was lacking in my role as parental educator, and the school gave some of what I did not have to give. I was not a practicing Catholic at the time, but seeds planted at that small Catholic school are still blossoming as I discover my Faith. STRICT UNIFORMS are exactly what is needed in protecting our children from status, vanity, materialism, peer pressure, diabolical fads, unhealthy trends, exposure to immodesty, etc. The hassle and money saved is significant.  This HIDDEN TREASURE may not be what everyone is seeking, but I GUARANTEE it has THE VERY BEST to offer children and families, CATHOLIC OR NOT.   Matthew 7:7 says to ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be open to you. I would be knocking on this door if looking for a school; not the most expensive or most popular, but the VERY AFFORDABLE BEST for my children. The Pastor of this parish is AMAZING and among the most Graced, Anointed, faithful, devout and competent in the Diocese; go meet him!

My two children have been a part of Five Acre School for over 4 years now. They are flourishing academically because they love learning. Every week they go on hikes throughout the Dungeness Wild Life refuge nextdoor and study nature. In music class they sing, dance, paint, and learn to play Marimbas. The teachers of the school are warm, nurturing, certified and highly professional. They focus on a child-centered curriculum.Thanks to the age blended classrooms, my kids learn at their own pace which meets their emotional needs while encouraging their curiosity. Children throughout the school respect each other and are never mean or bullied. In the rare event of a discipline issue the school's Director, a certified therapist, may have an emotion coaching discussion about the issue on a cozy bench in the office. There is no time out, the students are never told they're bad, there is only calm communication between students, staff and parents. As parents we are in constant communication with the staff and meet up to receive frequent detailed assessments of our children's progress without meaningless letter grades or standardized tests. As a community of parents we are all involved with every school function and have the power to help the school grow. It is an absolutely wonderful school and we are lucky to be a part of it.

My high school life!

Great teachers, exceptional organization, and they treat every child with patience and understanding. I would not even consider taking my daughter anywhere else! Thank you to the staff at Discovery Depot!

Really good alternative learning. Lost one star because it is the anti-vaxx epicenter of Port Townsend.

Christ the King is an amazing school for our kids. They have thrived academically, and the personalized attention they recieve makes such a difference in their ability to learn, be confident in their abilities, and thrive socially. Christ the King places importance on christian values and I really love that they can incorporate this into teaching in a fun and safe way. Finally - the community is so supportive and caring. I can't imagine having our kids anywhere else.
