the dorm directer is very strict and hard to reason with and gives you no time to yourself which leads to burn out the food is bad

4/30/2025

The environment is very warm and welcoming. The teachers care for the students as if they were their children. The worst part about the school is that there are not enough clubs, and they do not offer ACT prep classes.

3/1/2025

I have attended Saint Bernard Preparatory school almost 4 years now as I am currently a senior. I have found the school excellent at growing their students to be the cream of the crop regarding academics. Although there have been some difficulty with administrations, there arelittle to no club activities and subpar sport and extracurricular and after school activities.
