I like Willow's environment, low number of students, dignity, curriculum, events for both students and parents and religion aspect of education. My daughter and I are looking for some more discipline during classroom activities. Thank you Willow's staff

I really liked the support from the teachers. They would go out of their way to help me. Now that I am in college, I am more than ready for all of the classes. I am currently taking an English class at my college and the class is very easy. Also, I enjoyed having the opportunity to go to Mass everyday. The worst part about my time there was the amount of homework that was given. It was sometimes difficult to do a good job on an assignment because there were so many of them due in one day.

It's a good school, academically sound and many of the girls who go there quite enjoy it. I was not one of those girls. I really liked the academic side, but my classmates were awful and made going to school there miserable for me.
