[quote=Anonymous]We also looked at both St Patrick's and NPS. In the admissions process, I did get the impression that NPS was "sweeter" as others have mentioned. Their admissions team really rolls out the welcome mat for families and makes everyone feel warm and welcomed. St Pats felt slightly colder in admissions, BUT, the sense I got from the classroom environment was one that was nurturing and caring.

We ended up selecting St Pat's because we did feel that the curriculum seemed more thoughtful and well planned and we didn't get the same impression from NPS (and truly, not saying that NPS has a poor curriculum, we haven't lived it, and we know students there who are quite successful).

I also got the sense that NPS was a bit more conservative and traditional, and for our family, the slightly more progressive educational approach at St. Patrick's seemed to be a better fit.

We have been very happy with St. Patrick's so far. The teachers and administrators have been incredibly responsive to my child's needs. We have met many nice families who don't seem to be "social climbers". Most of the parents I run into are friendly and care about the kids. My child is happy and thriving and has definitely made lots of growth socially and emotionally since we started there and we've also noticed that his thinking and reasoning skills are dramatically improving every month. Maybe it's school, maybe it's normal development? We just know we feel that we made the right choice for our child.  [/quote]
