Holy Nativity Episcopal School

Posted: January 8, 2016

This school has been a fabulous experience for my 3 year old granddaughter. She had been in another facility in which she had a negative experience but Holy Nativity has brought her back to loving school! Ms. Terry has made the transition a warm & welcoming place. Holy Nativity feels like a community school where the kids still get to hug their teachers & peers. (Studies show that kids need @ least 12 hugs a day to create healthy relationships & happy lives). When you walk in the doors the staff are inviting & welcoming. You feel as thought there is an invested interest in a positive educational experience for your student. As an adult entering the school you are allowed to observe the classrooms & offered the opportunity to experience HNES life, You are invited to attend the school based functions as the school community is inclusive for all. The school has gone further & begun offering exploration of worldly opportunities through international field trips. An experience to expose the kids to the bigger world through learning engagement. So many positive things to say. They teach responsibility to the older kids in allowing them to mentor the younger ones; there's tremendous social/ emotional hands-on learning that goes on in the growth mindset environment.

Holy Nativity provides a fantastic environment for my children to become the best that they can be. Loving, attentive staff, and smart, devoted faculty, along with supportive, compassionate families make HNES well worth the low tuition cost. A visit and tour of this historic schoolhouse in the Cove had me and my husband sold on this being the best place for our children.

I attended Holy Nativity from pre school to 8th grade and completly loved it! The teachers are eager to be there and provide the students with the best educational experience possible! After graduating Holy Nativity, I went on to attend a prestigous prep school and found that I was more prepared for high school than some of my peers. I attribute all of my success to my wonderful experience at HNES! Go Bolts!

Another fabulous year at Holy Nativity Episcopal School and both of our children excelled! Thank you to all of the dedicated teachers, faculty and staff that made this year possible. We look forward to next year and cannot wait to see what the future holds for our precious little school in the Cove! We are truly blessed that our children have the opportunity to attend Holy Nativity!

I haven't had the experience of having any children of my own, but I have had the opportunity to witness the academic and social successes that my nieces and nephews achieved at Holy Nativity School. They have all gone on to graduate from various colleges and have excelled in many different fields. I am sure the groundwork and foundation they received at Holy Nativity played a large role in their accomplishments.

The comfort I experience each morning when I drop my kids off at HNES is treasured. I know that my children will be educated at a very high standard in a Christian environment. My children will be loved and safe. They will be exposed to diverse activities. I know that when I pick them up at the end of the day, their lives will have improved from the time they spent at HNES that day. I do not worry at all about them or the level of education they receive at HNES.

I am surprised that there are not more recent reviews of the school. We have two children at the school and could not be happier. They are both flourishing here. I can truly say that HNES is like a family. It is very nurturing and pushes our kids to excel at their pace. SInce it is a private school it is not constrained like a public school and they really do care about the kids and the parents. We are very protective of our two girls (4yo and 8yo) and yet I feel very comfortable when I drop them at school that they are safe and loved. I strongly recommend HNES to everyone!

Both of my children attend this school, as their father did before them. We believe the administration and teacher's mission of providing "leadership, learning and love" has been a large part of their success at Holy Nativity. I am thrilled my children have the opportunity to attend this academic powerhouse and stand firm in my belief that this is the best school in Bay County. Our family is proud to be a part of the HNES legacy!

We love this school!!! From the traditional school building (big classroom windows, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, etc.) to the dedicated exceptional teachers, staff and parents, this school embodies what I want for my children.
