WHAT OUR FAMILIES SAY...
Picture
"We have been so blessed by this community, the choir, and the academics. The children are thriving both academically and socially, and it has been a huge burden lifted off my shoulders. We love the classical model, the curriculum choices, the physical activity, the choir, the teachers and the other families !"
                                                  ~B. Family

"My kids love the choral program and I can see that it's not just empty words on their part because they break into song at home. They never did that before attending the schola!"
                                                   ~S. Family

"I thoroughly love the rich curriculum used and have been very impressed with how much my children have learned over the years. SJCS provides a wonderful environment and for me personally it was the perfect setting for my children - the best of homeschooling combined with the best of schooling."
