Private Schools

This is a very good school=)

very dissatisfied and had to move my 9 month old... and would not recommend this location to anyone,I will not go into details of everything we had gone through and also witnessed another child go through but I will say that if you choose to send your child to this particular Goddard school, please consider doing pop ups to check on your children periodically. I did not find this to be anything close to a safe or caring environment. during orientation they were very sweet and seemed to be attentive but as time had gone on I was able to realize they are in business for the money and could care less about what happens to your child or children. I had settled on moving my child and never write a comment about it, but I recently had a neighbor ask me about my experience because they were very unhappy, and have experienced some issues themselves, which I will not go into. I told her the things that happened to my daughter while she was at this school and also gave her a vague scope of what I witnessed happening to another child and how I informed their parent of the incident I had witnessed between their child and teacher, luckily my child was starting her new school the following Monday but me informing another parent of the issue, caused the owner to call me several times at work and leaving very angry negative massages on my work voicemail. I contacted the daycare and she started screaming at me and asking me "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE AND IF YOU HAD AN ISSUE YOU SHOULD HAVE COME STRAIGHT TO ME....YOU DO NOT TALK TO OTHER PARENTS ABOUT WHAT GOES ON HERE, YOU SHOULD OF CAME TO ME FIRST!' she also told me that that day was my daughter last day! I immediately hung the phone up and went to get my daughter because the safety of my child was no longer in question.....it was obvious, when I got there she would not open the door until she had a few people from her team there, she finally opened the door I noticed my daughters things were at the front door and as I was heading into the basement she and her (crew) tried to stop me.... telling me I could not get my child....I pushed past her and got my child and got out of there, (by the way, that teacher I told on, was back to work in the pre toddler area). I was lucky my job offered work life balance daycare services as one of my benefits, my child was able to go to another daycare for a few days until her position at her new daycare was available, which was that Monday coming.I think it is important to write these reviews of our experiences at these day cares to help other parents make safe and informed decisions for their children. I feel that if I had written this sooner maybe I could have helped someone. I also contacted Goddard Corporate and the state about the issues I documented, and was harshly questioned, later after an investigation..... was told there was no proof, but how do you get proof from infants and pre toddlers?....There are no cameras anywhere. I followed up with corporate and was told that the state did not have any findings, whatever that means. Anyway my daughter is blossoming beautifully and she has been very happy with her new daycare, they give the children plenty of mental stimulation and attentiveness, I am also happy that I can walk in at anytime without having to be buzzed in.

This school has an amazing middle school but the upper school teachers and administration is so bad they don't even care about character

I wouldn't have traded my high school experience at Sacred Heart for the world! I graduated in 2004 and even over 10 years later, still talk about the amazing times I shared with friends I still stay in touch with. I played softball and loved the comraderie. I was so prepared when I reached college that it felt like such an easy transition.

Great school with great programs.

The best.

I must say it was like a plain steak but until I got all my help we needed the plain steak turned into a beautiful great cheese steak 5stars for me I see great improvement for my daughter.

Don't bring your child here.

Currently doing my MTS in the Open Seminary program. The program is going well. I enjoy it very much, so far.

I hope I can go here. I am coming from Drexel Hill Middle school. The school I wen''t to was terrible. The kids had no profanity and they never cared. The teachers wouldn't care about if you had bad grades and if you did, they would make it worse by telling the whole class. I would cry every day about how lonely I was and how I had no friends. I barely learned long division. IN SIXTH GRADE!!! My half cousin one of my closest friends went here her name was Ephrata Sahle. She was so nice and would tell me all about this school. I wanted to say that my school was good too but it was not. I can't find anyway to say that this school was good(Drexel Hill) I have applied for the school and I hope I get accepted. My name is Saron Solomon. It's my dream to go to this school and if I got accepted It nwould be the greatest day of my life knowing I wouldn't have to be the only Christian kid in my class. I am always bullied being called mean names and my "Freinds" would do it too. I know this school has high expectations and I am ready to meet them! Thank you for taking your time to see this, it means a lot to me :) - Sincerely, Saron Solomon

Chesterbrook Academy of Oaks is a wonderful school that my friends and I discovered for our children. We are so grateful for the staff and teachers and their level of expertise and just as importantly for their attention to detail and educational guidance for our child. The care and support from this Chesterbrook School is unique and would have loved my older daughter to have attended at this age. There is a sense of close community among the parents and teachers that you would be hard pressed to find. My five year old is currently reading and excelling in math. In her words, "The teachers help us learn and the assemblies are cool!" "I like to write in my journal. I really like music because we get to dance, sing and try instruments!" Thank you for providing the opportunity for our future!!

Villa Maria is truly exceptional! The entire staff, from the administrators to the teachers, are committed to molding these young women into successful, happy adults who will make a lasting impact in this world. We have been truly blessed to have been able to send our daughter here.
