IHM has been more than a school for our daughter — it has provided strong academics, meaningful values, and a close-knit community that truly feels like family. My daughter joined IHM four years ago. She was a true “COVID kid,” and this was her first school experience. From the beginning, IHM felt less like a school and more like an extended family. As an only child with busy working parents and no siblings nearby, she didn’t have much daily social interaction outside school. At IHM, she gained more than academics — she learned independence, social skills, manners, values, and strong ethics. Her Preschool, Kindergarten, and TK teachers truly invested in her personally, and that care made all the difference. We tried district school for one year in first grade, but it wasn’t the right fit. She regressed socially, picked up negative language, and became more anxious. When we returned to IHM, the change was clear. She improved academically, but more importantly, her social and emotional well-being grew tremendously. She became calmer and more confident again. Friday Mass, school events, and community functions have helped shape her character and sense of belonging. I also value that the school participates in state-level evaluations, so we’re always aware of academic standards. Is IHM a perfect school? No. There are always areas that can improve — just like anywhere else. But is there really such a thing as a perfect school? What IHM provides is something more important to us: a strong educational foundation, a structured social environment, and a close-knit community. For our daughter, it has truly been a family away from family. As parents constantly juggling work, we are deeply grateful for the role IHM has played in raising and shaping her. We are thankful to be part of this community.
My son begin first year in the IHM school and we really love it. Our teacher is Miss Lindsay Caruso very hard-working and patient. The staff is very supportive and professional. Mrs. Andrea Harville is great principle . We couldn’t be any happier with our decision to put our son in this school.
Excellent teachers, small class size, good community, my son loves going to school everyday and has thrived academically and socially since switching to this school.
My child hated this school. Do not recommend.
