A Park Slope Neighborhood Gem Where Catholic Values Meet Academic Rigor

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, nurturing elementary school with strong academics and a values-based education. Particularly well-suited for parents who want the benefits of a private school (small classes, individualized attention) without an overly competitive or cutthroat environment. Families who appreciate diversity and want their child to learn in a community that blends academic rigor with social-emotional development. Park Slope residents or those willing to commute into this neighborhood will find a true neighborhood school.

What stands out
  • Small class sizes — parents consistently highlight this as a game-changer

  • Rolling admissions means you can apply year-round — helpful for families relocating
Things to consider
  • Tuition ranges from $9,516 to $19,062 for 2026-2027 — the range reflects different grade levels, so expect to pay on the higher end for older grades
  • As a Catholic school, Catholic identity and values are integrated into the curriculum — families should be comfortable with this foundation
  • Very positive parent reviews are notable, though private school reviews tend to skew positive overall
  • Rolling admissions is flexible but also means class sizes may have limits — earlier applications are safer
