A wonderful, faith-filled school. The teachers are great! They are professional and dedicated. Your child will get a well rounded education at this school!
The administrative team is very good. I miss the Assistant Principal, Mrs. Mehler. She retired this year and I haven't had a lot of interaction with her replacement but she seems nice.
I LOVE the Principal, Mrs. Shipley! It is very obvious that the cares very deeply for and about children. The school couldn't be in better hands.

School of the Incarnation is a wonderful school! I have two children there and we are members of one of the affiliated parishes. The teachers are warm, caring, and truly excellent at their jobs. I appreciate the faith-filled environment and the high academic standards. The principal is supportive and genuinely cares about the students.

What a wonderful school! We couldn't be happier with the Catholic education our daughter is receiving. The teachers are very caring and always willing to help. The administration goes above and beyond to ensure they are offering an above average education. School of the Incarnation is so much more than just a school, it truly is a family.

We currently have 4 children enrolled in SOTI in primary through middle school. We have been active parents for the last 7 years both in the classroom and in leadership positions with both the former and new administration. We couldn't be happier. It is a large school with a small school feel. Teachers are PHENOMENAL -- energetic, faith-filled, and hearts as big as any Mom. Whenever we have had a concern, it has been addressed and followed-up. We have one child with learning accommodations and those needs are met with internal support (external support within the school day is available if we wanted as well.) Families are extremely inclusive.

School of the Incarnation is an amazing school. I have 3 children enrolled and couldn't be happier with the well rounded education they are receiving. I think what makes this school stand out is its sense of community. My family is a part of a much bigger school family here at School of the Incarnation where my children are taken care of, not just academically, but spiritually. Each student is embraced for their unique gifts and talents. I highly recommend this school for its academic rigor and spiritual development of its students.
