Saratoga Central Catholic School

We've had a great experience at Saratoga Central Catholic. My son is a 7th grader and attended the school in 6th grade, as well. In 6th grade, my son excelled academically, and had the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities including Cooking Club, and Odyssey of the Mind. This year (7th grade), my son has played on both the modified soccer and basketball teams. He's been on honor roll every term so far. We've been very happy with the academic rigor of this school and have found his teachers to be motivated and supportive. My son is required to complete 10 volunteer hours as part of his curriculum, and my husband and I are required to complete hours as well. Volunteer hours are an important addition to the curriculum... My son comes away from each experience focused more on others than he is on himself, which is very important. We've floated the idea of moving him to a public school for 9th grade, but my son has asked to remain at Saratoga Catholic... he feels at home at this school, and so do we.

Spa Catholic has been a saving grace for our son. For the past four years, he has struggled in school in spite of his intelligence and interest in academics. He had anxiety and was bullied at his other school. Through friends we found out about Spa Catholic. From the moment we stepped into the school we knew it was the right place for him. He has had NO anxiety attacks and has remained on high honor roll for the first two marking periods. The teachers are supportive and helpful and the community welcoming. It's an absolutely amazing school. I wish we had discovered it for 6th grade.

We love this school! Its warm, welcoming, the academics are strong and the class size is small offering kids the best. I know many of the parents and staff and am always welcome to come in, volunteer, and get involved. Today is Spirit Day and the older kids will get to host younger kids which is such a wonderful learning experience. Service and faith are also a big part of why we love it. The kids and teachers gather each morning for a prayer for others - teaching kids the importance of thinking outside of themselves. We are not Catholic, but are Protestant and it works very well for us. Kids are also given the opportunity to play on all of the sports teams, which is a great confidence builder, and the coaches are terrific. The school teaches the whole child, and we are so grateful for it.
