School Reviews
5 1/1/2016
St. Anthony's is a great school. They have lots of good teachers and staff, plus really fun activities like musicals for K-5th, band for the 5th and 6th. Plus in 6th the Scotus high school music teacher comes over and teaches us new songs, in fact they have two vocal concerts an year. St. Anthony's is probably the best school around, although St. Bon's (St. Bonaventure) and St. Izzy's (St. Isadores) are great school, I highly recomend St. Anthony's for your children.
Endorse St. Anthony 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
