Private Schools

i went there for so many years i think 10 years.... it was the best experience i have ever had

Great place for my two kids. Curriculum starts from day one (even in the infant class room). I go to work confident that my children are well taken care of.

We had to leave St. Helen’s Catholic School due to academic and school policy concerns. The principal has implemented a closed-campus policy which restricts parents access to the school. This has severely limited interaction with the teachers and has created a very cold and uninviting environment. In touring other area private schools we have found this policy to be unique to SHCS and counter to the family environment embraced by other schools. Our academic concerns were validated while touring these other schools as well. We learned that SHCS academic standards were not as high as other area private schools. For example, the Pre-K students at these schools had the ability to read by the time they entered kindergarten, a skill that SHCS only starts to teach once the student enters kindergarten. This is because SHCS only teaches to the Texas minimum academic standards (TEKS). We have found that what you get at St Helen’s Catholic School is a public school education in a Catholic environment.

The mission statement says it all! This has been a great school for my children and a great community for our family. Where "Bible" is not just a class - but truly a foundation, and true heart discipleship takes the place of mere behavior modification. The teachers love the Lord, love their subjects, and (utmost importance to me as a dad) love their students, challenging and encouraging them continually!

Had a great time growing up and going to school here. Went here from kindergarten all the way through 8th grade. The faculty made this place feel like a home away from home. I made friends here that I've now been friends with for over 20 years. I leaned so much here about my faith and about life. Would not change this part of my life for anything else.

Good.

Great school!!

Awesome chool

School is awesome I go there it's the best school I've ever been to.

Versatile and all around focused.

Nice

Two of our sons graduated from the Village School in the last 15 years and our daughter currently attends the school. Both of our sons went to Ivey -League colleges after attending high school locally since the Village did not had HS at that time. Our daughter is entering The high school after attending the Village for 10 years. The school is not cheap or easy but it is worth it. The academic standards are consistently high and the music department is exceptional. We have seen the school growth and change hands through the years without loosing its spirit. This school is diverse and promotes cross-cultural respect and religious tolerance which is very important to us.

Excellent classical Christian education with a staff who truly cares about raising its students. Strong volunteer opportunities for parents and great athletics. Chapel held each week is uplifting and a joy to attend!

So proud of our great students, fantastic teachers, and successful alumni. Go Panthers!

Christ-centered education. Biblically solid nurturing environment for the whole family to grow in their walk with the Lord. Love working there and blessed that my kids attend PCA!

Do not judge this school based on appearance. This school is very old but the teacher's are wise in their ways!!! Let me list the many reasons all three of our children attend here. 1. Christ centered (Children daily read scripture from their Bibles). 2. Small classrooms (Teachers know every student's strengths and weaknesses) so they dont get behind but are stretched to their full potential. 3. Parents are allowed to observe classrooms any day they choose. Teacher's have nothing to hide. 4. Uses ABEKA curriculum, which we believe is an essential element to building a solid foundation. 5. Highest test scores we have seen in the El Paso, Texas school district. 6. Easy transitions for militiary families.

My little brother goes here, and he loves it!

After reading all the reviews like a concerned mother , this place seems terrible. For any owner that doesn’t work with the parents for comfort is definitely a concern. I’m very particular about how often my sons diapers get changed and I’ve read from many parents that they don’t do that here. Being hung up on when trying to get answers as to why your child is hurt is just unexceptable! Some people may have good experiences but I refuse to allow my child to get hurt just to have a bad experience. I’ll sefinitly take my money else where

I was a student at Desoto Private School and now both of my children go there. This school is up and above every other place I have looked at. The daycare is extremely convenient for working parents and my children have learned more than their friends at other schools. My children love to go to school everyday and there is always some new event or outing they get to do. This school goes up and above in every way both for preschool and school ages. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a great school with great teachers and a fun environment. I feel great knowing my children enjoy their day, but also are getting the best education around. Thanks Desoto Private School!
