St Finn Barr School

While the school definitely needs some sprucing up, it's a very cool community, the principal is great, and the teaching staff are very devoted. Most have been at the school five or more years. The Vice-Principal and Kinder teacher, Karen

St Finn Barr is a small school (250 students) located in the Sunnyside neighborhood. My son has made some great friends since starting kindergarten a year ago. My husband and I have been very active in the school and have gotten to know several families. We love the community.The principal, Tom Dooher, is very approachable and responds quickly to comments or questions you might have. The Vice Principal and Kinder teacher, Karen O'Reilly, went to St Finn Barr and has been teaching at the school for 25 years. Most of the faculty have been with SFB for five or more years. While the school definitely needs some updating, overall, we are extremely happy with the quality of education our son is getting.

The perfect fit for my family. I was looking for a school for my 5 year old daughter to go to and came across this wonderful school.
1) It teaches spanish every day, which was very important to me.
2) Small community, so my child doesn't get lost.
3) Dedicated staff (love Mr Dooher - the principal)
4) Fun parents - important when you spend so much time with them!

this was a good school for me. a great introduction into my school career. plenty of caring teachers and a very good supporting staff. it is a very small school so the class room sizes aren't too full.
