“What can I say about St. B? We had other choices - this was the clear winner. The education, the community, the teachers, and now the incredible facilities -- everyone and everything working together for the benefit of the kids. THAT is what a quality school is all about! My girls are making lifelong friendships and building the academic foundation to excel in high school, college and beyond...”

“As a child I learned a lot from St. Brendan and its Parish; gaining both scholastic and spiritual enrichment as I matured. Now my wife and I hope to share the same great teachings I received as a child to our son. What better way to accomplish this than to afford him the same blessing of attending a fine school such as St Brendan?”

“This academically rigorous school is able to balance learning with the nuturing of the 'whole child.' Children not only learn the three R's but are encouraged to learn how to be a just and moral person--how to be polite and thoughtful. Perhaps the most refreshing thing is the way boys are allowed to 'be boys.' instead of being encourage to act like girls!”

They were so grateful of the education they had received and wanted the same for their younger sibling.”

“St. Brendan is the whole package: great education, awesome close-knit community, great faculty (especially in the lower grades), beautiful newly expanded facilities, a truly diverse student body and at an affordable price. The kids learn more than just Reading, Writing and Arithmetic: they learn patience, acceptance of others, and discipline. Exposure to music and arts takes place in the classroom. Drama, chess, sports teams and scouting are some of the extracurricular activities available.”

“A great community school of kids from every ethnic group and socioeconomic status. It has a policy of never turning a child away because of ability to pay. Regardless all kids share a common bond and respect one another, their teachers and their community where they do many charitable activities. Because it is a Catholic school, it receives none of the State's educational funding yet consistently test in the top 1% despite its limited resources because of commitment to excellence. There is a great misconception that because a school is private that it has more resources than a public school.”

Another great thing is exams for high and middle schools. in 8th grade you decide what high school u want to go. Then there is 3 days that u can take the test u wanna go into.if you do take it believe there is a 99% u are going to that school!”

“St. Brendan is a great Catholic school to go to. In terms of diversity, it is mostly white and asian, but there are a few blacks and hispanics. Students are intelligent and are well rounded. Because of its good education, many students are accepted to prestigious high schools. Math is well taught there, but Spanish needs to be taught better. I'll admit the extracurricular activities are not that great. There are a few sports you can participate in, and there aren't any clubs to join. There's only Student Council and Altar Serving. This school, however, do host fun activities for the students [Examples: Halloween Parade, Talent Show, Mini-Carnival, & so much more.”
