Oh gosh.. I used to work here and I couldn't get out fast enough! The students have no respect for the teachers and I do not agree with the school culture.

I began at Padua in the middle of my Freshman year. The administration was extremely helpful in aiding the process. However fellow students were not the most welcoming as cliques had already been established many having known each other since middle school or even earlier. Eventually, I got settled and managed to finish out my four years with the help of my amazing guidance counselor and some friends I met along the way.

The teachers I encountered, specifically in the language departme...

OK, this is a academic school for girls that are academically advanced. Every year the number of applicants grows. My daughter loves this school, however, coming from public school I am not sure how much information gathering goes into "accepting' a student. There is a placement test the girls take...
