Best parts - education for the complete person and not just one area of my kids' development. Amazing community surrounding the kids and helping to form great future adults with virtue, purpose, and a passion to serve. Having multiple priests and consecrated women on campus is a huge bonus too as this school brings Catholic sacraments to the kids' lives daily. Worst parts - not the best school for some sports. Some parents feel entitled but that doesn't last long
