Amazing sisterhood, I couldn't ask for a better school

July 14, 2024

My time at Carondelet has been amazing. The sense of sisterhood is strong, and I have made lifelong friends here. The retreats and spiritual activities have been particularly impactful for me. Academically, the school is challenging but in a good way. The teachers are always available to help, and the college counselors are fantastic.

Not the best experience for my daughter

June 28, 2024

I had high hopes for Carondelet, but unfortunately, it hasn’t lived up to our expectations. The school is very cliquish, and my daughter has struggled to make friends. The administration seems more focused on maintaining the school’s image than addressing the real issues students face. There have been instances where concerns about bullying and unfair treatment were not adequately addressed. Academically, the school is decent, but the social environment has been a significant downside.

Intense athletics programs really push the students to become the best versions of themselves

The sports programs are very competitive. My daughter plays water polo, and it has been a rewarding experience for her. The training is intense, but it has helped her develop discipline and resilience.
