Private Schools

Terrible School District and School Board. They actually believe that their students can be taught to be gay or transgender. Find another school district.

Our son has been a student at this school for almost 8 years and we feel very lucky to be part of this amazing school. The teachers truly care about each student and know how to help them not only academically, but to become thoughtful, kind people that care about the world around them.

My son has been a student here since PK. He’s now in the 5th grade and loves it here. It has a nurturing environment that helps students to thrive and become independent. Teaches them responsibility, respect and honesty at an early age. He insist on staying through the 8th grade which is the highest grade offered.

We moved from California when it became apparent that our small private school there was closing. No way my kids were going to Public schools in California. After searching nationwide we relocated to Austin because of BCS. We both left solid careers there to move here. Now that both kids are graduates of BCS we do not regret rebuilding careers here and living here. We moved here 12 years ago. BCS continues to grow and improve.

17K a year for first grade? No problem for me...

I go to school here

My son attended preschool with Ms. Villalba. She is an older teacher that seems well beyond retirement years. Her patience for small children seems to have run out. She's been moved around several times to several different grades because she's not a good fit for any of them. My son came home sad from school every day. He started to cry to not want to go to school (which was very unlike him, because he had attended dayschools since he was age 2). He said his teacher was mean to him. I met with the principal but she was moving to Dallas and said that's just how Ms. Villalba is, strict. Other parents complained as well. I kept my son there only a month, but was required to pay half the tuition for the entire school year. That was incredibly expensive for such a poor experience (paying for uniforms, school supplies, $200 of chocolates, and then half the entire tuition..... for one month enrollment). I would consider other schools before wasting your money. I volunteered there as well and its sad how much they rely on parental support (time and money) but how little they themselves are willing to give to your child in return, preschool should've been a wonderful experience for my son. Welcoming, nurturing, and engaging. Instead he was met with a cold teacher, who criticized daily, was rude to parents, and started emotionally breaking down my child. I'm glad I pulled him out right away. He loves his new school and teacher.

Escuela Montessori Del Valle is an exceptional school. The staff and teachers are simply the best! I can not speak highly enough of the school! The teachers provide a safe and loving environment who are very patient and provide a solid foundation for learning.Perfect school for anyone who wants their children to excel academically,become independent critical thinkers,who are self motivated and have great social skills.Thank you so much for the wonderful years my two children have spent(2yrs old thru the 6th grade) at Escuela Montessori Del Valle. Simply the Best!! Mrs.Jennifer McDonald*

My kid was an honor student at St Marks school eight years. He was never sent to the principal's office and never got in trouble of any kind. He watched a viral YouTube video at school which may have been somewhat inappropriate. I got called to the principal's office because of this issue and the principal called my son a pervert little boy and they expelled him after keeping him 20 days out of school and they threatened him by telling him that the police would come to our home to search through our computers. I just wonder if it would've been someone else's son if they would take the same actions.

Hay personas que necesitan ocultar su nombre para criticar, yo no confiaría en una crítica anónima. Estas personas que critican sólo quieren una excusa para justificar que no pueden pagar una escuela privada y que tienen que llevar a sus hijos a una escuela pública. Lo bueno es que existe gente con amplio criterio que no basan sus decisiones en los comentarios sin fundamento de estas personas. Mi hija ha aprendido mucho y estamos contentos con el resultado hasta ahora obtenido. Disfrutamos el hecho de que se festejen las tradiciones americanas como las mexicanas, con ello, los niños de origen latino aprenden sobre sus raíces y no crecerán como otros hijos de padres mexicanos ignorando y avergonzándose de lo que son. La escuela, como cualquier organización, todavía tiene áreas que mejorar pero están en el camino correcto y afortunadamente la gente que no tiene el nivel cultural para estar en ella ya ha salido de esta escuela. Miss Adriana y Miss Laura, continúen haciendo el buen trabajo como hasta ahora lo han hecho.

Great school, student to teacher ratio is great. Curriculum is among the best in the ISD. Very accommodating staff and faculty members.

First rate private school for children with learning disabilities. Bridges staff tailor methods and styles to fit each child, combined individual and small group instruction as well as art and P.E.

It was an adventure! Ups and downs, but that is high school! Difference is, I had my brothers at Cathedral to go through it all! Only regret I had was not going in earlier. If you are a student curious about Cathedral, visit and talk to the Brothers! If you become a student, make sure you experience it all! Viva la Cate!

I love this school

The spiritual and education foundation my kids have received here is truly exceptional. We could not be happier and feel truly blessed to find a school which really prioritizes the students spiritual lives as much as their academic lives.

Academic excellence.
