My child attended St. John Bosco for preschool and kindergarten. We've been so impressed with the staff, environment, culture, real faith formation, and academics of this school! Essays written and speeches given by middle schoolers from Bosco have blown me away. These children clearly have learned how to think rather than what to think. The older children are so kind to the younger ones; it feels like a big family. We were looking for a school with rigorous academics that was rooted in our Catholic faith; for that, Bosco is the best school in Rochester.

My children have been at SJBS for 8 years and we absolutely love it. We are so blessed to be a part of the SJBS/CAR community.

Our sons attend St. John Bosco and we love it! It is very strong from both a faith perspective, as well as an academic perspective. We couldn`t be happier with our decision to move them to this school from another Catholic school. This place is truly unique and special. I highly recommend it.

We made the decision to send our children to St. John Bosco a few years ago, and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family. We chose St. John Bosco over other schools because of the strong focus they have on faith and academics, which was clear when we toured the school. I was nervous for my children to be the "new kids" but everyone there was very welcoming and it was a wonderful transition, they made friends immediately. The children are happy and have grown academically, spiritually, and socially; we couldn't be more impressed with the school! The teachers and staff are amazing, and the families create a wonderful community at St. John Bosco. We enjoy being able to volunteer and be apart of the school if we would like. Although the school is further then other private schools from our house, bussing has been very easy from outside the district.
