9/8/2022
Saint Vincent's Academy is a very traditional all girls school. Most of the traditions there are fun and the teachers, generally, are friendly and willing to go the extra mile for a student. The only thing I would change is the discipline system that allows certain students to get away with more than others.
10/12/2019
Strong academic expectations with small class sizes. Young ladies enter and leave knowing how to be women who lead. The bonds of sisterhood and deeply rooted traditions gives students a high school experience that is so unique that no other school in Savannah could compare.
2/2/2019
The school itself is beautiful, and it is very historical. It may have just been my class who had this problem, but the administration is not very good. They never tell the students everything, lied to the students on multiple occasions, and do not make good decisions. My science teacher was arrested and the school did little to nothing to help the students cope.

St. Vincent's is not only full of tradition and rooted in it's Catholic principles, but also full of faculty, staff and administration that truly care about the students and families. The academics, sports and extracurriculars are top notch and competitive. For safety, there is an on campus officer...

This school does not work with their students and discourages staff when these same students seek support. The best teachers at this school get crushed by the administration and it’s sad to see such a historical school being destroyed. Tradition isn’t everything and this school is being left behind...

Wanna talk about hell on earth! Send your daughter here. The way the administration disregards their students needs is absolutely deplorable. It is so upsetting to see such an upstanding historical establishment fall so far under this new administration.

My daughter is well prepared for college and has had four great years there. She will be attending one of the top universities in the country in the fall. SVA really empowers these woman to lead.
