    "A+ preparation for college!! Both of my children graduated from STES... and they were far ahead of their freshmen classmates in college! STES prepared them with good study habits and excellent grammar/writing skills. My daughter was a 13 year veteran of STES. She took ten AP classes at STES. When I went to Parents' Orientation at Rice University... an admissions administrator called my daughter a "Rock Star!""

    "As a graduate of STES and a 13 year vet, I was grateful that they used a "classical" educational approach. I am now at Rice University, studying Biochemistry. STES not only let me focus on my passion for sciences, but also made me look at a bigger worldview. I studied Latin for 8 years and was raised reading the classics of English literature. The focus on a well-rounded education was evident in the variety of classes offered to the upper school students, such as Comparative Politics, Statistics, and Chinese. The amount of AP classes offered also acted as an academic springboard -- I passed all of my AP's, earning over a semester of credit at Rice. STES is a wonderful community. While working with the college counselor, I knew I wanted to look for a community strong university, just like my community oriented K-12 experience."

    "Look, if you don't mind your kid going blind doing homework and having no life, this is the place for you. My kid has been here nine years and they gave homework every day in kindergarden for Christ's sake. They also have a serious bullying problem that they are unwilling to address. I suspect this is because they look at the children not as students but as $10,000 per year. The principal is spineless, though he means well. The classrooms are crowded and need updating. You will spend at least 1/2 hour every day trying to tell how your child is doing in school because of their frustrating web system. Also, if you are divorced be prepared to be treated as a second class citizen. Frankly, I'd transfer my kid but my ex-wife objects."

    "So pleased with STE! My daughter started Kinder in 2010, and we hope our son is accepted to KBridge in 2013. Christian environment and strong focus on academics make it a great choice for our family. My daughter loves daily chapel services, Bible study/songs, and even memory work! She is surrounded by children whose parents put a real emphasis on Christian values, a great education, & good behavior. Her teachers have high academic expectations (pushing children to exceed skills for grade level), but they are loving & kind, too. Boy/girl classes have been wonderful, allowing the teacher to mold lessons to the gender, which is fun for the students. Small community atmosphere in the school is special many parents are alum and teachers often have children who attend or graduated from STE. Scottish Arts give a real source of pride, making kids feel unique (our daughter LOVES Scottish dancing). Amount of scholarship dollars secured annually by seniors is astounding. Tuition is a fantastic investment. Lastly, school leadership presses forward each year to improve the curriculum, facilities, and classes offered. We are so impressed and are looking forward to the next 15 years at STE!"

    "I feel strongly about St. Thomas' quality, so I am posting to reply to some of the negative reviews I have read here. I attended St. Thomas' and now my children go there. Though I received the best education possible in Houston, the school only gets better every year. St. Thomas' offers more choices than ever to its students in activities and sports. They have not strayed, however, from offering a well-rounded academic foundation and consistent Christian instruction. I never felt I was discriminated against at St. Thomas' for being a girl. I actually thought we girls had it better than the boys, probably because our separated classes were so tailored to us. As for the religious education, St. Thomas' is an Episcopalian school, and conducts beautiful daily chapel services. If you do not want your children exposed to the Bible, this is not the school for you. I will say, however, that my graduating class included students of all the major faiths, and those of no faith, and that diversity in a small class allowed us the best opportunity to learn about faiths other than Christianity through open discussion and interaction."
