We have 2 children who attend St. Didacus School. We moved our children from a private school setting at a young age, and were very pleased with our decision. The spiritual component along with the ability to grow personally for two very different kids is what made this an excellent choice for our family. What makes it a wonderful school is the small- one class per grade. The kids must follow the class expectations and problem children are not tolerated. We admire the 8th graders assisting preschoolers, something not seen in public schools. The long term friendships will last them a lifetime. Parents take an active role in school activities, fundraising, and education at school, church and the home setting.

I have 3 children attending the school. I chose St Didacus over more expensive catholic schools due to its discipline and the requirement that the children show respect and are held accountable for thier actions. If you want to make excuses for your children for not achieving their best, do not send your children here. If you want to raise children with character who are required to be held accountable for their conduct and who will develop a good moral compass, choose this school.

Both my Children ages 5 and 8 attend St. Didacus school. My wife and I chose this school carefully for its religious, moral, and academic teachings. Its Pre-school program is in no way a day care facility. Students are there to learn. They are taught to count and recognize their numbers, letters, shapes and colors. Pre-schoolers are introduce to religion and prayer, as well as creative thinking through arts and crafts. St. Didacus is top notch in preparing its students for kindergarden. Its' grade school studies are just as impressive, Its' students are incredibly polite and well-mannered, something you won't find in todays public schools. Parents are encouraged to participate in all functions of the school and its' parrish, which makes for a better learning enviroment for students and parents.

Small school environment encourages personal attention to students. Opportunities for sports and other activities are open to all. Parents are involved and interested. Students are expected to be self-reliant, conscientious, and resepectful of themselves and others.

School is good for above avg children, if your child is in need of extra help, they don't allow or help the children in this area, they don't want the hassle of alittle more attention to each child!
