Why Families Choose SVF
Our families say it best—discover the community, values, and academics that make SVF feel like home.
"Our family is incredibly grateful for the education our children are receiving at St. Vincent Ferrer School. Beyond academics, the sense of community here is invaluable. It’s a blessing to know our kids are not only safe and supported emotionally but are also being nurtured in a strong faith-based environment. SVF is truly a place where our children can grow in both spirit and knowledge, and for that, we couldn’t be more thankful."

"Planting Seeds
of Curiosity"
" Ms. Rivera and Ms. Guido don't just teach; they cultivate. These two teachers are tilling the soil of these young minds, planting seeds of curiosity and wonder that will blossom for years to come. We are so happy with our choice to send Sam to PreK3."

-Peter D. (Parent & SVF Alum)
" My first and third graders recently transferred from another Catholic school, and I am delighted to share that their transition has been incredibly smooth and positive.
​
From the moment they joined the SVF community, they were welcomed with open arms by the dedicated faculty, staff, and students. The nurturing and faith-filled environment at SVF has not only helped them adjust quickly but has also allowed them to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually like never before.
​
The commitment of the teachers and administration to fostering a strong educational foundation while encouraging personal growth has made a profound impact on my children. They come home excited to share what they’ve learned, eager to participate in school activities, and most importantly, they feel a true sense of belonging.
​
We are truly grateful to be a part of the St. Vincent Ferrer family, and we appreciate the school’s dedication to excellence in Catholic education. Thank you for making this transition such a wonderful and rewarding experience for our family. "

" ...Some families choose St. Vincent’s because of its commitment to Catholic education, or its rigorous curriculum and high academic standards.. Other families fall in love with the beautiful campus, and the sprawling playground that our kids enjoy during and after school.
But my husband and I chose St. Vincent’s because we were seeking the sense of community and belonging that we both know is critical for children’s growth and development. We were seeking
a village, and we found that here..."
- Lauren P. (Parent & SVF Alum)
" Choosing the right school for your children is never an easy decision. Initially, we chose a nearby Catholic school, but over time, we felt something was missing.
After exploring other options, we decided on St. Vincent Ferrer. It was a tough choice, but it turned out to be the best one.
We absolutely love it here! The community feels more like family, and my kids are excited to go to school every day. I've seen remarkable growth in their education, from improved homework completion to stronger test performance. They’ve also developed a love for sports, playing in every sport offered.
Their newfound confidence is something every parent hopes for, and I’m so grateful to witness it firsthand. It’s truly a joy to see my kids thrive! '

" With two daughters currently in college and one applying to graduate school, my husband and I knew that a strong educational foundation was essential for their future. That's why we chose St. Vincent Ferrer. From Preschool through 8th grade, the compassionate and committed faculty helped each of our daughters develop a solid foundation in knowledge, study skills, faith, and family values. These principles have stayed with them throughout high school, college, and now as they pursue their careers. "

“Feeling incredibly grateful! Our child has made so much progress in reading this year, and we owe it all to his amazing first grade teacher. He’s reading books on his own, sounding out new words, and even asking to read at home!
It’s all thanks to a teacher who’s patient, encouraging, and clearly pours so much heart into her classroom. Watching him grow into a confident little reader has been such a joy. Thank you for everything you do you’re truly making a difference one page at a time!”

" Mrs. Riney is AMAZING! She's created such a safe, comfortable classroom where Jack feels completely at ease. What truly touches our hearts is how she genuinely CARES—not just during school hours, but beyond! Seeing her on the sidelines at the Friars' soccer games, enthusiastically cheering for the Friars, means so much to the team/her students! That kind of dedication shows our children they matter! Thank you, Mrs. Riney, for being the supportive teacher every child deserves! "

​" This is one of the most caring and warm schools that I have had the pleasure of being at. Everyone can feel the care and focus that the teachers and administrators have towards the students and their families. The school provides ample opportunities for students to focus and explore their talents, as well as pursue their educational goals. Students have lots of fun enjoying extracurricular activities that the school provides, teachers are updated on current groundbreaking teaching through effective professional development, and parents are invited to participate in many social events to help strengthen the community, and make new memories.
