St. Mary Coptic Orthodox School in Los Angeles

Posted: December 1, 2024

I should have written this review sooner, but life moved too fast. My daughter attended St. Mary's from 2nd-5th grade after leaving another private school. We had the best 4 years there and I couldn't be happier with how our experience went! Some of her teachers are no longer there unfortunately, but I owe it to them for their dedication and loving work. My daughter is now in 11th grade and she often wonders what happened to some old friends and her teachers. The schools focus on education and of course religion was why I choose them. We are not members of the church there, but my beliefs aligned and I loved how welcoming they were. Highly recommend!

St Mary is an amazing school, my kids have been going there since they were 2 years old and I cant recommend it enough. The teachers are wonderful and pay close attention to all the children, they are always there to answer my questions and address my concerns and they pour they hearts and souls into teaching the children.
My kids are learning so much more than other children their age. My son can read in Tk and my daughter does double digit math in first grade and she can read level three.
I cant recommend Saint Mary enough!!

Words can't express the neglection and ignorance that my toddler and me have seen,they saw him crying he saw me and he wanted to come out to me they locked the door on him so he wouldn't come out he started crying while the other teacher was inside with the class and him she totally ignored him and continues teaching the class as if he doesn't exist while the other teacher smilling at him as he is crying totally cruel and ,didn't expect this treatment from Christian Orthodox school ,iam member of the church as well ,and for safety gate open and nobody watching the kids and if they run they accuse them of harmin themselves while the gate is the school fault not to monitor it and leave it open when landscaping comes.

My son Daniel went to St. Mary Coptic Orthodox School. He really enjoyed going to school every day. He particularly enjoyed his teachers. My son received a lot of attention from his teachers. I loved the school because they are excellent academically and spiritually which was very important to my family. I would recommend St. Mary Coptic Orthodox School to every parent.

If you are looking for a great small class with individual teaching for your child this is the school for you. Both my girls went there. It gave them strong bases in math and reading. The teachers are carrying, Christian base philosophy. I work at a middle school and all the students we get from St. Mary the do so well! This school has no bullying and everyone is so nice its like a healthy family.

I love this school and I recommend it for any parents planning for their kids or trying to find best school for them because Saint Mary school teaches them more than you would expect; not only about the grade curriculum, but students also learn a lot of manners humanity, responsibility and many many more.

Great school,loving, caring teachers
I highly recommend this school

We were blessed to have been a part of St Mary school family. My two daughters started St Mary school when they were 2 1/2 years old. They both stayed there until they graduated fifth grade. What we loved about St Mary school is the Christian values they follow in their teachings. The small number of classes that allow for individual attention for every student. The care and love their teachers show everyday to the students. The wisdom and professionalism portrayed by the principal and the board. We would recommend St Mary School to everyone that is looking for a professional Christian with top notch education

My son has been at St. Mary's since he was 2 years old, he is 4 now. The growth that I have seen in him academically, socially and spiritually is amazing. He comes home and talks about what he learned in his weekly Bible class and is so excited! It's so important to me that my child knows our faith and that's why I love this school so much. Not to ignore academics - he already knows how to write his name (he has a very long name) and has began to recognize words. The teachers are so attentive, class ratio is very small (5:1) and staff are so kind and loving that it feels like a family. I would recommend St. Mary's for anyone with children preschool - 5th grade. Also, it's the most affordable school I have found in the San Fernando Valley area.

We love St Mary School. Both my children attended since they were 2 1/2 years of age. We love every teacher and we had a great experience year over year.

My child has been with Saint Mary School since she was 2 years old. We have had nothing but wonderful experiences at all grade levels. The teachers make it a point to provide the right level of care to each child while enriching their minds with the appropriate level of education for their age. When my child was excelling academically, they made a point to place her appropriately in the right level. We will continue with our journey with Saint Mary school. I cant imagine a better school where you raise them in a Christian environment while receiving the necessary education.

After looking at several Christian school for our daughter, the minute we stepped onto St. Marys campus we knew this was the school for us. Its small classroom size allows the teachers to really give that one on one attention and our daughter is thriving. She began in TK and is now in Kindergarten and is performing well above her grade level. The faculty is helpful and friendly and their tuition is reasonable. We highly recommend St. Mary Christian School.

As a speech-language pathologist and a mother, I wanted to send my son to a school where he could build a solid education foundation. Sending my son to St.Mary school was the best decision I made. St.Mary school provided a safe and stimulating environment where he was challenged academically, nourished spiritually (fostering core Christian values), and encouraged by motivated and dedicated faculty who inspired
a supportive and loving learning environment. St.Mary schools small class size provided my son individualized academic attention and multiple opportunities to develop educationally, socially, and physically. St.Mary School has my highest recommendation.

Posted: December 2, 2021

Great school,wonderful caring teachers. Each child gets individual care because of the size of the classrooms.
Instills Christian values in the kids while giving them a great academic skills.
The communication with the teachers is easy and encouraged. I definitely recommend this school to all my friends and to all that ask about a elementary school.

I wish I could sing this schools praises, but after the third week, I pulled my kids out of the preschool due to their inability to communicate effectively and their preferential treatment to members of their church. My children didnt thrive in the setting they have set up. After consistently moaning that my childs tears in class are scaring the other children without even giving him the chance to acclimate (after a 5-month long lockdown at home and a brand new environment) I realized that this school wants your children to be cookie-cutter and they dont want to accommodate common toddler tears. I hesitate to believe that this preschool has equipped its teachers with the proper childhood instruction methodologies. Its a preschool, not elementary for crying out loud. Kids need to get out and play and express themselves. They fall, they cry, they take off their masks to breathe, they may resist a nap. The fact that my child wasnt given a chance before being stigmatized as needing assessment (after we already had him assessed last year) saddens me to no end. I wouldve preferred to write a nice review, but St. Mary left a poor taste in my mouth.

Posted: September 15, 2020

My 3 year old was stigmatized 3 days into school because he would not nap and would cry, so they deemed him as needing a behavioral assessment. The real issue is that teachers are not taught to de-escalate situations and expect toddlers to sit still in seats for ~6hrs a day. The individual child is not respected or considered in the preschool curriculum.

Teachers are personally attentive to each student. School is secure and lots of activities for your kids.

Posted: April 22, 2019

St. Mary's will not tolerate bullying. If this type of issue arises, it is dealt with immediately where the child is spoken to regarding their behavior, and may have to write standards and/or not be allowed to participate in play during recess.

Posted: April 22, 2019

St. Mary's is an excellent school and I would highly recommend it. I found this school by chance seven years ago at a time when I needed to find daycare for my 2-1/2 year old grandson. Since then, I have been so extremely grateful to God for leading us to such a wonderful school. Due to the wonderful teachers and leadership of the school, I feel that they are part of my family and I will truly miss them when my grandson moves on to middle school.

Posted: April 22, 2019

The homework is based upon what is taught in class. This helps the children to practice and fully absorb each subject.

Posted: April 22, 2019

The teachers go above and beyond what is expected. They really get to know each child based upon their personality and learning habits and teach with patience, love and understanding.

Posted: April 22, 2019

As with the leadership of St. Mary's school, the children are taught respect, love, and self-confidence due to the the love and caring of the teachers.

Posted: April 22, 2019

I cannot say enough wonderful things regarding the effectiveness of the leadership at St. Mary's. The children are taught respect and, when there are any issues (i.e., not following the rules of the school), the Principal relates to the children on their level and is able to speak to them in such a way that allows them to understand why it is important for the rules to be obeyed.

The teachers are one of the best assets to this school. They treat the kids with live and compassion, very qualified and I absolutely feel that kids are well taken care of and safe

Posted: January 15, 2018

Absolutely love St Mary. It is the perfect foundation for my kids.

Posted: September 11, 2017

Excellent experience. I'm sad it's only elementary

Posted: May 28, 2017

St. Mary school is a great school. My daughter goes there and she loves it. She is doing very well with reading and writing and she is only turning 6 years old. Great environment as well.

My grandson is amazing with his reading, spelling, and math skills (he's in the first grade). I am truly in awe with how he is able to accomplish all that he has in such a short amount of time. The teachers are absolutely amazing.

Posted: November 24, 2015

I believe that the children receive homework in a way that they are able to complete it fully. Additionally, since they are not overwhelmed with too much homework, they are better able to grasp what they have learned and, therefore, do not fall behind in the teachings.

Posted: November 24, 2015

The teachers demonstrate not only a wonderful academic teaching to the children, but they combine it with love and support to every child. My grandson has gone to St. Mary's for almost 4 years now and I am so incredibly thankful to have found this school. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Sanna, as well as all the staff at St. Mary's and can honestly say that they have changed Matthew's life, as well as mine forever. Thank you, St. Mary's.

I love this school because of its great academic & christian values. Very friendly & family oriented staff. the education here is at a very high standared. As a parent i would recommend this school to any other parent who is looking for an extraordinary school.

Posted: May 5, 2014

My kids love going to school every day. They love to tell me about all the things that they have learned & how wonderful their teachers are. its good to see kids who are so enthusiatic & anxious to go to school everyday, they even want to go on the weekends. Would recommend this school for any child. Small classes & great education.

St. Mary school is a hidden gem in Northridge. We love Mrs. Maral, the 1st grade teacher. She is very involved with the students and a great communicator. Though the elementary school is still fairly new, St. Mary is taking steps to bring more student-family related activities to the mix. Sending our son to a school with Christian values is a big priority, and our family has been blessed by St. Mary's school.

Posted: May 1, 2014

My husband and I absolutely love St Mary School. It's a great school, very loving and caring teachers. Less than 10 kids per class which means more time for the kids to learn. Christian values are important and they go out of their way to teach those values to our kids. We would recommend this school to any parent who wants the best academic education for their kids

Posted: April 6, 2014

St. Mary School is an excellent educational environment. It's academic attributes are top-notch. Coming from a public school in LAUSD, I immediately saw a difference in my child's academic success due to the increased attention my child receives because of the smaller, more intimate class size. This school has excellent teachers who have strong educational backgrounds and more importantly have compassion and patience for the children they teach. St. Mary School has many wonderful attributes academically, but another wonderful characteristic is that it supports and fosters Christian believes, and provides a great base for our children to learn more about Christianity. It is an outstanding school in all aspects. I highly recommend any parent to enroll their child in St. Mary School.

I love Mrs. Christina!! She is my daughter's teacher and she is always extreamely sweet to her. My daughter has learned a lot and i can tell she is very advance for her age. I would always recommend this school to everybody that i know. GREAT JOB teachers and staff!

Posted: April 1, 2014

My son has been attending St. Mary School for well over a year now and I've never been any less than satisfied. The teachers are very caring, loving and true educators.

Posted: March 27, 2014

St. Mary's is great school that has loving teaches & staff that truly care about the children. I love the fact that the classrooms sizes are small, about 12 kids or less so each child gets a lot of attention. The focus on education is big at this school & your child will definitely be ahead of the game. They also offer a great before & after school programs with very flexible hours. I also love that they teach religion since faith is important to us as a family, something a public school can never offer. The piece of mind I have knowing my son is in good hands at St. Mary's school is priceless & I highly recommend this school.

Saint Mary School positively influenced my daughter life by offering high academic standards , Christian education and values and addition of giving her and each other student personal care.

Posted: March 20, 2014

Great school, friendly staff. they are very education based. The nice thing are class sizes are great and it does not feel over crowded.

Posted: August 14, 2013

Love the school. My son loved going to school and enjoyed every minute of it. Made him ready for elementary school.
