Carondelet Catholic

This is an awesome school! We are glad to be here.

This year my extremely shy and sensitive daughter transitioned to Carondelet Pre-K program. Previously she was at a highly regarded daycare center (Primrose chain). I cannot express how thankful I am we made the switch to Carondelet! Its been so refreshing to have a career Pre K teacher (and not rotating temps like we had in the center). My daughter had 9 other kids in her class with a professional Pre-K teacher; it changed her life! She's gained an incredible amount of confidence and actually wants to go to school now (versus the daily cry at dropoff). We've been so pleased with our choice and are now committed to continue gradeschool at Carondelet!

We moved our third grader from public school to Carondelet this past year. Ms. Gunay (his teacher) and the Carondelet staff have transitioned wonderfully. He's so excited to come back for fourth grade!

My headline: this school is a hidden gem. Recommended from our next-door neighbors, Carondelet was the best choice we could have ever made for our 3 children (in 8th, 6th and 4th now). We've got 2 who excel and a third with a learning disability, and they've done a great job helping all 3 do their best. The community of parents, teachers, and staff is amazing. (We're actually really missing the parent get-to-gethers with COVID.) And what they've done to give students an amazing year, even with COVID, is above and beyond. And most importantly, these teachers REALLY care about the kids academically and emotionally. It brings me to tears to think of all the times teachers have shown that for all 3 of our kids. I couldn't thank the teachers and staff more for all they do, and this year, that's even more true. I say - don't look anywhere else. This really is THE BEST school choice in Minneapolis or Edina.

Carondelet is an excellent school with a strong community of students and families. I have 2 children that attend Carondelet and I can`t say enough positive things about our experience. The teachers are truly dedicated and committed to the learning and personal development of my children. Both of my kids have thrived in the school community, which places great emphasis on academic growth as well as personal growth. This is a school that also emphasizes kindness and service to others. The small class sizes are ideal and my children have been able to really reach their full academic potential. The administration is very responsive and continues to make Carondelet a first-class experience.

Carondelet is not just a school. It is an amazing community of teachers and administrators that instantly became like family. The teachers and facility truly love each and every kid. You can feel the warmth and love the second you walk into the school. I have has one son who did K-8 at Carondelet and just started high school. He was incredibly prepared academically for the challenges at St. Thomas Academy. Carondelet does so more than teach strong academics. They teach respect, compassion, and giving back to the community. They truly helped raise my son and shape him into the amazing young man he is today. I also have a younger son here and am so thankful for this amazing school and community.

My three children all attended Carondelet and I cannot say enough great things about this school. The teachers, the administration and families were invaluable assets to our family. I have two now in high and one who just graduated college and all were extremely prepared for high school and beyond. We especially loved their well-rounded curriculum which includes an amazing arts program, band, theater, Spanish, various programming for accelerated learners and many extracurriculars.
