Best kept secret in Metairie, La. School is smaller which means better individualized attention for children. Teachers are top notch. Great band program and a good football club with good team spirit. Games are always fun. Academics highly stressed and a great family atmosphere with lots of activities. I highly recommend.

My wife and I (both professors) are content placing our two children here. Yes the facilities are not first rate but I would rather them spend the money on competent faculty. No need to put up nice curtains to hide the bad interior. In this "it's broken just buy a new one" society it's healthy for our children to experience an alternative. Yes, the sports programs are not top notch so if you want your kid to be a football star I would go somewhere else. If you want solid reading, writing and math, then you will find the school quite suitable.

This school is apparently having financial issues. The facilities are in an obvious state of disrepair. Too many great private schools with better facilities in the vicinity to warrant spending the 5 to 6000 per child that this school charges per year. No successful sports program (or even a school bus for the basketball team's away games- give me a break) in many years doesn't help either.
