We moved our kids from public school to MOG this year due to pandemic. The best decision made. We are so happy with the challenging curriculum and how amazing everyone is. Its a night and day from the school we came from.

We've moved out 12 year old from another private school in the area and, although it was a difficult decision at the time, we could not have been happier. It's been a few months now and our daughter is thriving at MOG. She made friends right away; classes are small and teachers are able to divide their attention and actually teach, reaching out on a personal level to each student. The amount of homework is just right, academic level is strong, the school has strong policies on bullying and behavior; children are respectful and good mannered.

My little ones have been going since pre-k. I am so happy we were able to find a school that builds strong relationships.

I love the principal, he's out greeting the students and parents in the morning rain or shine!
Posted: July 6, 2017
the small class sizes make a positive difference when it comes to individualized attention, when kids need extra help, the teachers are able to give that extra push (in my opinion)
Posted: July 6, 2017
I haven't seen or heard of cases of bullying.I am greatful for that.
Posted: July 6, 2017
I like for my children to stay engaged in their education and feel that homework corresponds with what they're learning in the morning

Love the teachers! they're kind and respectful towards the children which I find extremely important

at MOGS character education is shown in the kids behavior from the youngest to the oldest

We've been at Mother of God School for 6+ years and love it. Small class sizes, above-average test scores, strong values, skilled and caring teachers and staff, diverse and wonderful families. My son is thriving here!

We love this school! Our son has gone here since Kindergarten and it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff are all very dedicated. The school administrator, Mr. Miller, is awesome! Our son is able to apply the information he is learning in very real and practical ways. We feel he is being prepared for real life -- which is what school is about, isn't it? We have no doubt that if he continues to attend school here, he will have the skills and confidence to be anything he wants to be. We only wish we could say the same good things about the public schools in the area -- which pale by comparison. We have no regrets whatsoever about sending our son here.

I really love this school. Its very reasonably priced and my son loves it (PreK). I picked this school because of the curriculum and on top of that he grows/learns in a community of love. My son is fluent in two languages from our home and is now learning ASL at this school. Everyday he learns something and surprises me. The school activities are very inclusive, they send me weekly bulletins to keep me informed of all of their class lessons, you will feel as part of school. I love Mother of God School. **The Christmas carols that involve all of the students melted my heart and it will melt yours too!** -Proud Parent

Mother of God School is a true gem situated on a beautiful green campus on Goshen Rd. It offers an environment where education, faith, and community come together. The teachers are all magnificent; many with advanced degrees. My son has attended this school since Kindergarten and is now is 5th grade. We love the school, the teachers, and overall the families. Mass and religious formation are part of their education but all families of all faiths are embraced. If you are looking for a school that offers a top notch educational program paired with strong faith and involvement in giving back to the community, this is the school for your child. We highly recomend it!

I have had 3 kids in this school, two already graduated and doing very well in a high school STEM program. The school was very supportive when they were beyond the grade level in math and science and accommodated them with advanced classes and they had fun with the Project-Based Learning assignment. MOG has a religion program with classes and mass which I believe help young kids develop a caring outlook.

Our 5 year old son began school this fall in the pubic school system. There were 27 kids in his class and he was lost. The small class size and MOG attracted us there, but the warmth and faith-based programs have kept us. We are ecstatic that we found such a warm school where teachers put in extra effort to meet the needs of each student. Our twins will start preschool there next year.

We love the school, and we would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring and faith-filled community, high quality of education, and...if you want your child to be somewhere that will care as much about their spiritual well-being and character as their academic growth. We are not a Catholic family, but our faith is important and essential to us. We could not be happier in sending our two daughters to Mother of God, and we are so proud to be a part of this community and school. The school is a bit of a secret, tucked away in Montgomery Village...but we would highly recommend a look at the school.

With small class sizes in Mother of God School, our 2 children (3rd & 4th graders) get proper attention in class. The teachers are always willing to go the extra mile with their students. Best of all, the school has the religious environment we try to create in our home...priceless.

I have had kids in this school for 22 years K-8 and I love the school. Our children have all gotten a supurb education. Their teachers have been very caring. The religion program includes weekly mass and a strong presentation of the faith. I highly recomend it.

My son has attended Mother of God School since he was in Grade 1 and now he is in Grade 7. We have never questioned our decision to enroll him even once.

Mother of God School is a great school. Classroom size is small so each child gets the proper attention and help as they learn. All the teachers at Mother of God are beyond prepared and have amazing teaching techniques. I feel very happy with the school since both of my kids love going to school, they love the teachers and their friends.

MOG has super dedicated, creative and hard working staff/teachers who really care about the kids and guide them in their academic and spiritual development. The classes are small with lots of attention paid to students. Could not have a better environment for learning. Have a 4 year old who will attend kindergarten next year and will send my 2 hear old when she's ready.

I LOVE this school. The classroom sizes are small, all of the students are polite, the older students help the younger ones and It feels like you are leaving your kids with family. My son has learned the science of how to learn, not just memorization. The teachers really love the kids and it shows with their teaching!!!
