Research St. Anthony's School private Schools in Newburgh, New York

“This is the first year my son has attended and it will be the last! I have had multiple problems here: The tuition program they use (TPI, INC) to collect the monthly payements is shady, they charge a $500 fee just for collecting the money every month. Participation in fundraisers is mandantory, they required my 4 year old pre-k son to sell a heavy box of candy bars, and when I returned the candy (I am NOT sending my kid door to door, and I refuse to solicit on his behalf) they demanded the money! They are closed constantly, and with little/no notice, leaving working parents scrambling to find a babysitter. I have tried multiple times to reach the principal and have never received a call back-the only way you can communicate with the staff is to go to the office and wait to speak to someone.”

“St. Anthony's is a good school, but not a great school. There are no extracurricular activites, and teachers who's 'meters' stop at 3:30 - they do not want to be bothered helping the kids with homework at After School Care. There is a nice very diverse group of kids in this school. Being such a small school (one class for each grade), most of the kids know each other and are open and welcoming to other kids - which is really nice. As with most schools, it's always the same parents (mostly the mothers) who do all the volunteering - and St. Anthony's asks for volunteers and donations for everything! - that group is very cliquish & gossipy.”

“This school is a wonderful and welcoming place. I've had my daughter in this school for 3 years already, and she has so many wonderful friends,and many teachers that she enjoy's very much. This school is like one big beautiful family! And as a parent i think this school has a great enrolment and many wonderful people in it.”

“I like the quality of education but they are always asking for money and if you dont contribute to their 'charity' they constantly bother your child about it. Its a real annoyance. Other than their obsession with money the school is ok.”
