School Reviews
5 11/23/2021
I have 2 children who attend Cheverus and absolutely love it! The advanced academics, diversity, and family feel environment are a few of many reasons I would highly recommend this school located in the heart of Malden.
5 11/23/2021
My children both attend Cheverus and they love it. The teachers are warm and caring. They are invested in their student's success. The students are respectful to both teachers and classmates. The academics are challenging but taught so well students often make the honor roll.
Endorse Cheverus Catholic School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
