Business Review

"We have a preschooler here and absolutely love it! The welcoming families, the personalized attention from teachers, the genuine investment in my children's development in a holistic way are all part of what makes this school amazing. We wouldn't consider sending our children anywhere else after the amazing experience we've been having!"

"What I like most about Ember's Academy is that it's not only academic focused, but there's a faith element to it. The school community does a great job not only engaging the students, but they also provide many opportunities for parents to build bonds and engage with one another. As a public school teacher of 15 years, this is something that I have not seen in the public sector. It is very unique."

"We were initially drawn to Embers because of its strong faith-filled environment as well as its low emphasis on technology. We liked that it was a place that kids could be kids and enjoy childhood while still receiving a top-notch education. This was five years ago and we are very grateful we chose Embers! Embers is a warm and friendly school filled with dedicated teachers who provide caring, thoughtful and personal education for each student. They know your child and seek to bring out his or his talents while also strengthening his or her academic, social and spiritual needs. The academics are challenging, the music and arts programs are amazing and there are many sports opportunities as well. The administration and staff are approachable and supportive. We have become friends with so many of the wonderful families at Embers as well. Most of all, knowing that our son is receiving a genuine Catholic education in a caring, safe and nurturing environment is priceless."

"Absolutely love the school. Could not imagine sending my children anywhere else. The staff and teachers are all fantastic. They truly care about each and every student, all while fostering a great foundation and strong Catholic identity. All the families are great, too! The school does such a great job of establishing a great community of friendship amongst both the students and the parents. We love Embers!"
