“Our family’s journey at Lacordaire has been one of incredible support and affirmation. We have been impressed with the quality of the instruction and the people our daughter has met over her three years at Lacordaire. She has been challenged, supported and encouraged to take risks, embrace challenge and exceed her own expectations. We are forever grateful to the Lacordaire team for making our daughter’s high school years a time of tremendous growth and achievement.”
