“…primary schools should try to create a community school climate that reproduces, as far as possible, the warm and intimate atmosphere of family life… An integration of school and home is an essential condition for the birth and development of all of the potential which these children manifest in one or the other of these two situations – including their openness to religion with all that this implies.”

TestimoniALS
"Our family has truly found a home at Nativity: Faith & Reason. With a Pre-K 4 student and a Kindergartener, we’ve seen how thoughtful and nurturing the early education program is from the very start. Our kids are surrounded by kind, supportive peers and teachers who genuinely care about them, and it shows in how excited they are to go to school each day.
Being part of the PTO has also given me a deeper appreciation for the community at Nativity. The relationships between families, staff, and leadership are something really special, and there’s a shared commitment to making the school a welcoming and supportive place for everyone.
Nativity offers a strong academic foundation while also focusing on character and faith, which means so much to our family. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community and would absolutely recommend it to others looking for both a great education and a genuinely caring environment."

"Our family has been part of the Nativity Faith and Reason community since 2020, when our oldest son began kindergarten. Now in 4th grade, he has grown both academically and personally in ways that have exceeded our expectations. Our youngest son has also had a wonderful experience. We first enrolled him in the preschool program in 2022 and he is now in kindergarten. The preschool department at Nativity was incredibly supportive and encouraging. They truly helped my son feel confident and ready for the transition into elementary school.
We have been consistently impressed by the strong academic foundation the Nativity provides, along with the genuine sense of community among families, teachers, and staff. The level of care and attention each child receives truly stands out—the teachers and faculty know their students well and are deeply invested in their success.
Equally important to us is the faith-based education. The integration of Catholic values into daily learning has helped shape our children’s character, reinforcing kindness, responsibility, and compassion.
We are grateful to be part of such a supportive and nurturing environment and look forward to many more years at the school."

"I have often told the priests at Nativity that you can measure the health of a parish by whether there are lots of babies and long lines at the confessional. Anyone who goes to the 9:30am Mass on Sunday knows we have both. The Nativity school is an extension of the same – a bustling community of amazing families that love and support one another through good times and bad.
We have been here for 15 years and currently have our sixth and seventh children going through Nativity, which is a testament to our confidence in this school. I have also heard over the years several teachers at Holy Family say that they can tell who the Nativity kids are, as they are the best prepared for the rigors of high school. Pretty good evidence of Nativity’s academic excellence.
I am also constantly impressed with the way the school lives and breathes the Catholic faith. It is not an afterthought. It is a genuine love of the faith and therefore it is imbued in every part of the school."

"We chose Nativity because we wanted an education that challenged our children academically while anchoring them in strong moral values. What we found was so much more.
The teachers don't just teach subjects; they mentor souls. Our children are excelling in academics, but they are also learning the importance of kindness, integrity, and service to others. It is a gift to know that the values we teach at home are being reinforced every single day in the classroom."

"Our Catholic faith is the core value of our family. We know that our mission as parents is to foster each of our four children's relationship with Christ and to disciple them through life. The Nativity community of teachers, staff and parents help us on this mission and are committed to the formation of our children both academically and spiritually. We have been so impressed with the growth we have seen in our kids over the past few years at Nativity!"

"Choosing Nativity: Faith and Reason for our children's education was an easy one for us! The mission of creating saints and scholars is something you can't get everywhere. Everything the kids learn is based, first and foremost, on their relationship with God. Nativity also has a wonderful community of families who support and lift each other up. We couldn't ask for a better school for our family!"

“Our family has greatly benefitted from joining Nativity: Faith and Reason. The community is so warm and welcoming.
It is a joy to watch our principal greet each student by name in the morning, showing each child that they are a valued member of our school. The teachers are creative and caring, focused on preparing their students for the challenges ahead and encouraging them to deepen their relationship with God and their faith.
The front office staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, as are the many parents who welcome new families. It is wonderful to send our children into an environment with kind peers who are constantly being taught to see Christ in one another.”
