Saint Philip the Apostle Preparatory School

Excellent school. With each grade broken out into 3 levels so that kids could learn at their pace. The highest level “ The Kaleidoscope Program” was two grade levels above which means that 8th graders in Kaleidoscope were working on 10th grade work.

Kids wear uniforms. Catholic school and education incorporated into daily life for students. Covers pk4 - 8th grade. Very satisfied with the level of parental involvement allowed. Teachers and parents work as a team to ensure best results for student.

The teachers and staff at St. Philip are amazing! I am sure that this past school year was not easy to pull off but they managed to keep everyone safe without compromising the high quality of education. My daughter completed Kindergarten and my son completed 6th grade. It is very rare that a school genuinely cares for their students and communicates with parents. I am so grateful for everything they did!

My kid goes to this school. You can't get in without being buzzed in. Catholic schools in the area are closing one after the other, but this one remains very strong. It is well supported by the church and the parishioners of St. Philip. The parents, and most of the time the grandparents, are active participants in the school. The teachers and the staff do a great job of guiding and educating the children.

The school had an overnight fire early in the year that caused plenty of damage that completely shut the facilities down. Old outdated miles and miles of wiring needs to be replaced to be up to code, and phone lines were temporarily rerouted.The kids were home schooled for 2 weeks and the parents and the teachers did a great job of educating the kids. After that the kids were back to school in 2 locations while the buildings were getting repaired up to code. They're back to their original classrooms in 2 months!

Say what you will, but my child is very happy to go to this school. Loves the school, the teachers and classmates...

** one more thing - This school normally has a small registration window, even for returning students. 2018 - new student registration window was even smaller due to the fire and all that came with it. At least 2 catholic schools closed down in the area and there was a mad dash to register new students for very few available spots in the first place. A few years ago a parent (an alumni) missed the early registration window for their returning kid, and the spot was snagged by a new student as soon as they opened regular registration. Max 25 kids per section, 2 sections per grade. That's it. If someone is told to wait to register til next year, that means that particular grade is fully booked
