School Reviews

5  
We had concerns with the public school system and decided to go to St. Rose. The tuition is actually comparable to the daycare costs even though daycare was just after school. St. Rose tuition for us is $375 monthly and daycare for our 2 kids was going to be $400 monthly even though the kids would just be there after free public school. Class sizes have been 10 - 12. Faculty goes beyond the required curriculum and also focuses on socialization with students and conflict resolution. My husband and I could not be more at peace with the school, all around. I would not go anywhere else even if tuition increased.
