"The atmosphere Mr Valvano creates trickles down to the teachers. They are so dedicated, and they truly love what they do."
We switched to Notre Dame this year because we knew that if we were still in a remote situation in September, we wanted to make sure our children were getting quality education and interactive classes. Having heard some great recommendations from friends, we took the tour to see for ourselves. As we spoke with Mr. Valvano and Mr. Reid, we got to see their views on how they were dealing with the ever-changing circumstances and their overall vision for the school. We were convinced that this would be the right decision.
Five months in, we have no regrets. It has been every thing we expected and more. Their transparency, foresight in preparation and communication has been far more that we had experienced at previous private and public schools. They go above and beyond, and even our kids instantly noticed the difference. You can also tell that the atmosphere Mr Valvano creates for his school trickles down to the teachers. They are so dedicated, and you can tell they truly love what they do. It is such a great environment. Our children, in Grades 3 and 7, love going to school, both remotely and in person. We can only imagine how much more they will love it when they can enjoy all that the school has to offer!
I have been recommending to anyone who has asked me :) including Milani's best friend who is patiently waiting for February 1st to register. Hopefully there will be enough slots for them to join in! Keeping our fingers crossed.
