Research St. Gertrude High School private Schools in Richmond, Virginia

“Saint Gertrude is the best decision my parents made for me. Although it was a bit of a financial stretch for my family, it was worth every penny. I went on to receive undergraduate and graduate degrees from UVa and found my first year of college easy. The staff is caring, demanding, highly competent, and accessible. They push students to achieve in academics, athletics, social and leadership skills, spirituality, and civic responsibility. The school has a mission to diversity socially, religiously, and ethnically. Its location in the museum district makes it accessible to students from all over the area. They particularly excel with students who otherwise would fall through the cracks in a larger public school setting. Not only do the teachers look after the students, but the girls look after each other and remain lifelong friends. Saint Gertrude will push your daughter to her limits but she will thank you.”

“My experience with the teachers and staff has been very positive. They are committed to teaching excellance. They have high expectations of the girls and get to know their strengths and weaknesses on a personal level and then encourage them. I find my daughter doing better, trying harder, and learning study habits and techniques that can translate into everyday skills. Without the daily distraction of boys the girls seem more serious about their academics and their importance, but socialize with the neighboring boys schools so it is a great balance.”

“Saint Gertrude provides an excellent environment for the nuture of intelligent, independent and caring young women. School activities provide each student with a sense of history and belonging. Studnet population is currently about 50% non-Catholic making the school a great choice for both Catholic and non-Catholic studnets.”
