Testimonals
“St. Cornelius School is giving my children an excellent education. This education does not stop with their mind—this school educates the child's whole self. With their curriculum, they provide our children with an incredible knowledge base, faith, compassion, a desire for social justice, a sense of humor, and grace. One look at each year's graduating class, and I know I am in the right place. I can see what kind of person my children are becoming. St. Cornelius is a gem in our own backyard.“
-Mom of a 6th grader and Kindergartener
“St. Cornelius is an amazing place. We have had children in the school for 9 years and couldn't be more pleased. St. Cornelius School students excel academically with test scores way above the national average. The dedicated faculty use creative, caring and challenging teaching methods. I know that my children will be able to go to any high school they choose. When we chose St. Cornelius School, we got so much more than strong academics. We found a supportive, welcoming, nurturing community where the children are taught to live their faith and practice it in their everyday life. I am proud and grateful to be a part of St. Cornelius School and Parish, and our investment in Catholic Education continues to be worth every penny. “

“We came to St. Cornelius six years ago looking for an education for our children, and what we found is so much more than that. At the beginning, what most impressed us was the dedication of the parents– it seemed hard to believe they cared so much about a school. But over time, we came to discover St. Cornelius isn’t just a school where you send your kids– it is a community that embraces your whole family. Yes, our children are learning academic lessons that will prepare them for the most challenging high school and college coursework. But in truth, that kind of education can be found at many schools. What is unique to St. Cornelius is that here, our children are being grounded in a values-based community where neighbors educate their children together, worship together, and serve the needs of others together. Through our family’s participation in this special community, our children are learning incredibly valuable life lessons that will prepare them for the even greater challenges they will meet in life outside of the classroom.”
