Private Schools

I attended Stella Niagara for 8th grade in 1973 and had a lifelong experience of adventures. Our 8th grade travelled to NYC for a class trip and stayed on a college campus while there. At age13 this was MAJOR! Another vacation without my parents(I visited Grand Clara in AL every summer). While in NYC with 8th graders, we were Blessed to have GREAT chaperones who kept watch over us both day and night! There was absolutely NO drinking going on nor girls and guys switching rooms to hook up. We still had an enjoyable BLAST!!!

My 1st Child,Caleb, attended PRE-K 4 with 💖 Mrs.Crawford 🙏At Holy Ghost! She was almost indescribable! By Far thee Very Best Teacher for MY and All Children just starting school🙌(The Greatest 1st teacher is Mrs.Crawford💖) Now 5yrs later... my daughter,Kendell attends Holy Ghost PRE-K4 with the best Teacher!💖And it doesn't amaze me how Incredible my shy lil girl Connects with thee Caring Blessed Staff h beenere and always at Holy Ghost Lutheran School and Church💒 *My son also attended Kindergarten with Mrs.Meissner🆒!!

I’m a former parishioner of St. Francis of Assisi Parish but still attend mass there on occasion. As of today, Father Mike is still the priest there. Special prayer sessions there are just lovely to be a part of. The Catholic churches in western New York is going through some tough times, so they are closing and combining many churches. Due to low new student enrollments, St. Francis has closed their school.

As a parnet of two students (Grade 2 and 5) in their second year here at the school and as a volunteer in the daycare, I am definitely a supporter of the New Life Christian School. I like the safe, friendly and diverse atmosphere. I appreciate the small class sizes and the open communication between faculty and parents. I have always had a sense from the beginning that the children are genuinely cared for. I see that my children's experiences here and interaction in the school is good. The cirriculum, a Christian one, the Abecka Cirriculum, is very good and it challenges the children to excel. The faculty works with the parents to ensure that the students have the opportunity to receive a good education. My intent is to see my children graduate from this school. I believe New Life is doing a fine job in fostering an enviroment where children can thrive and I hope the school will continue to prosper and grow.

Went there for my brothers football game and the students were very disrespectful of our cheerleaders. I wouldn't want my daughter to go here if that is how students act. The principle on the other hand is very nice and understanding.

Wonderful caring principal and pastor. Hard working teachers.

Best school in town . A caring nurturing staff.

Great education for young women

Excellent school just graduated not long ago. The staff is excellent and cares for the students on more than just a teacher student level. Saint Mark is a true family. Shout out to Mrs. Zaccarine and Mrs. Rice

My girlfriend and I attended the lexington co-op's annual meeting here and it was pretty nice. I'm sure any kid living in Buffalo would be lucky to be able to go to school here.

When I went to their open house everyone was so nice.

CAWB is a dying breed...good old fashion values, discipline, academics, and LOVE❤ I have reared five children , and NEVER have I seen a school ( public or private) run so efficiently. The cleaning staff keeps CAWB spotless, the office is well organized as are the teachers while Sister Gail runs a tight ship. Walk into the building, and you will not see children running wild or teachers raising their voices. You will see order, respect, and happy students. There are rules everywhere we go, and if we don't follow them Cahos ensues. I have seen firsthand the downside of inconsistency in enforcing school rules,and that would be loss of control over the student body which greatly affects academic success, as well as the relationships among teachers, parents, and students. Public school has failed miserably in this area, and private schools are quickly catching up as they have been forced to relax their standards due to low enrollment because parents are uncomfortable with school staff following protocol, i.e., chewing gum, proper uniform, loud voices in the hall, missing assignments, disrespectful attitude toward toward anyone, etc. As I said, CAWB is a dying breed. your child's future is in good hands at CAWB. Your child will graduate with a firm foundation on how to navigate in this world if you as a parent come into this "family " with the right attitude trusting that the principal, teachers , and staff have your child's best interest at heart❤ Vikki Smith

It's a school what reason do I need

I've never known a school to be more focused on optimizing learning in deeply meaningful and useful ways for each unique student. Innovative teaching methods matched with novel school practices to help students awaken their intrinsic drive to learn, help the community, and develop to their full potential, including and beyond academic achievement. The small size allows the school to be flexible and responsive to the needs of all students, parents, and teachers; allows students, parents, and staff to have a familial relationship; and allows dedicated staff to personalize curricula and extracurricular activities to suit their student population. When my son is old enough, I plan to send him here.

My Daughter & I loved the Experience she had at Mercy☺
