Private Schools

Our son attended LSCA for four years and was able to graduate early after receiving all the individual help he needed that he was not able to get in a public school. The Christian education and influence has helped him to continually grow in his faith even after his high school years. My daughter has just started attending LSCA for high school and we are all very excited to know that she will receive the same great Christian education and support that her brother did. Tuition is reasonable, teachers are very qualified and the learning environment is a positive one.

Great school and beautiful campus.

My daughter has attended the Goddard in Pasadena for almost two years now and we are sad to leave due to moving to another county to be closer to family. It has been such an experience watching my daughter grow as an individual from her learning experiences that they have provided. We will miss her school and many thanks to all the time and effort the staff puts into the children. -The Mogavero Family

Fairhaven allows children to live their lives NOW, learning and growing, laughing and climbing trees, tackling tremendous intellectual challenges, and debating and resolving real life issues on a daily basis as citizens in a democracy. As a college professor, I see far too many students who succeed academically through traditional schooling only to end up intellectually dead; all the cramming in the world means absolutely nothing if it kills the love of learning. Fairhaven students, my own children included, are able to prepare for college and adult success in the best and most powerful way possible: without even trying. Everything they learn, they learn for the joy of it and their intellectual curiosity and problem-solving creativity make them simply unstoppable. And they're happy! They can't wait to get to school and are reluctant to leave. What other school can make this claim?!

Love the school and pre-school, Little Pebbles 🤗

I would totally recommend this school to any parent! Both of my children graduated from St. Jane Frances. I would not change a thing! I have been employed with St. Jane Frances for 11 years and I can only recall a few accounts of bullying or any other nonsense mentioned in other posts. We do not tolerate bullying and we have a policy in place for anyone who is being bullied through the Archdiocese, not to mention internally at St. Jane. So there is no reason anyone who is being bullied, who took proper procedures should continue to be bullied. So sorry that one bad seed can spoil the bunch of apples. Always come in to the school and check it out, we are more than happy to do tours and answer any questions.

I grew up going here, as well as my family. It is a great Baptist & Bible teaching church , caring about our Salvation through Jesus.

This is a great school

Where God has in hand in education

wonderful school. My daughter has been here the last 3 years and she loves it! The teachers and students are amazing. She has gotten a great education and also the Christian atmosphere is wonderful. They are very kind and understanding to all children.

My 3 year old daughter responds very well to genuinely kind, caring, and respectful adults/teachers and she certainly found these good folks during the year-plus she attended The Goddard School in Bowie. She made wonderful connections with her teachers, resulting in her being very receptive to their guidance regarding learning new concepts, practicing good discipline/habits, and working well with others. She grew in many ways that can’t be replicated at home and she clearly enjoyed the experience. I’m relocating for work so my heart breaks to take her away from all of the smiles, hugs, and learnings at Goddard, but I’m very grateful she experienced this gift during her formative years.

I went here for 2 years :)

Excellent!!! My daughter is on sixth grade and she loves it here!

Best Montessori school in a hundred miles!!

I am VERY picky. I want the best for my two boys and I don't apologize for it. I toured many schools and left most feeling defeated. I couldn't understand what most of these places were charging for and WHY. I toured the Goddard School last because it had the highest price point and I wanted to give other places a fair opportunity, as well as gain an unbiased opinion on each of them. When I walked into Goddard, I could see the difference from the main entrance. Parents crowded the main entrance as they waited in turn to use the high-tech security feature (hand-print ID, folks) and no one shoved hurriedly by or snuck past. Parents follow the rules. Once inside the classrooms, I could see the difference right away. My previous tours left me with images of old drab furniture, dirty rugs, and pass-me-down toys. Goddard was incredibly bright and colorful and kids were seated at tables playing with different goop, putty, or paint. I was welcomed with a group hello "Hi, Friend!" I thought, 'Yes, this is where I want my kids to go.' My kids have always been at home with me, but I wanted them to experience a more formal learning environment and socialization. They get that in SPADES. I see images of my son (Tadpoles App) drawing, painting, playing, SMILING! On to the teachers--let me remind parents that being in this job with so many kids is a HARD job. Anyone who can (or pretend to) tolerate that many number of drooling, pooping, sneezy, whiny kids is a SAINT. So this branch of Goddard has many teachers who fall into this category. They also have a few teachers who fall into the category of "Unicorns". These teachers are so amazing I swear they can't be real. My oldest son is with Ms. Lauren and Ms. Kelsey (unicorns) and he has blossomed under their care. I can tell that they genuinely care for my boy. I leave him in their care knowing he will come back to me a brighter, nurtured, social boy. My youngest son is having trouble adjusting, but I know this is par for course. I know that when this stage passes, he will blossom, too.

We moved our 2 sons from public schools in AACO this year, and we couldn't be happier with the decision! Our oldest started 7th grade, our youngest 5th for the 2017/2018 academic year at St. John's the Evangelist School. The staff at St. John's has been nothing short of excellent in helping our sons' acclimation to a much more well rounded, challenging, and in-depth academic experience. The addition of Faith-based instruction has been a blessing as well...a foundation in morals is the greatest of launching pads for today's youth in my humble opinion. The boys made the adjustment to the new routine and expectations rather easily...they've made a lot of new friends, and have become much more invested in their education and faith than I've seen to-date. St. John's demands academic excellence, and provides the instruction and staff for each student, K-8, to achieve the highest levels. Lastly, it is outstanding to see that not only the students and staff at St. John's, but the families as well have a tremendous sense of community...everyone is welcoming, everyone takes a vested interest in the school, the programs the school offers, and most importantly, the students. The only "regret" I have in any capacity about St. John's is that we didn't enroll our boys sooner. We are truly blessed and grateful that our boys are enrolled here, and are anxious to watch their continued growth and progression while remaining part of the St. John's overall community for years to come!
