October 2010:

Due to frequent military moves, we have sent our children to four different Catholic schools, including St. Philip Neri.  Both the school and the SPN Catholic community are among the best.  We have felt welcomed here since our first day and integrating ourselves into the activities has been easy and rewarding.  SPN has reaffirmed our decision to send our children to Catholic school.  With several schools to choose from in the local area, SPN stood out for its friendliness, commitment to academic excellence and devotion to teaching Catholic values, both in and out of the classroom.  We consider it a blessing to be able to send our children to St. Philip Neri School, and we pray that they will continue to thrive there.

September 2010:

We had atttended open houses at 3 other Catholic schools before we attended the one at

SPN.  It was the only one where we actually got to met the priest and we got a real sense

that we would be welcomed into the SPN family.  Before we even made it back to the car,

my wife and I both knew that SPN was the school for us.  The faculty and staff have all

gone out of their way to make us feel at home.  We are particularly impressed with the

school's efforts to accommodate the special needs of our son.  Both our kids have thrived

here and love school tremendously.  We haven't regretted our choice for a second and

can't imagine having the kids anywhere else.

August 2008:

We moved our son from Linthicum Elementary to St. Philip Neri in the middle of his fourth grade year.  We looked at several other schools, and chose SPN because of their excellent core curriculum (Saxon Math especially), nice tidy facility, and especially the fact that they (alone, among other schools we were considering) made every effort to accommodate our son's special gifts.  They provide a solid, no-nonsense education that emphasizes strong reading/grammar/language arts and math skills in a calm, structured setting.  They promised, and made good on that promise, to provide opportunities for our son's special musical abilities in spite of the lack of a formal strings program.  No other private school in our area made any effort to treat a potential incoming student as individually as SPN did.

 

 

I believe it was God's will for me to attend St. Philip Neri and thankfully my parents heard and

answered God's call, because it was my nine years of Catholic education that set me on my own journey towards seeking God's will for my life.  That journey has seen me through my dream of attending Berklee College of Music and now has me ministering the youth of St. Philip Neri.  I count my Catholic eduation at SPN among my greatest life's blessings.
