the baton rouge international
school
(bris) is preparing me academically by offering a challenging curriculum, which requires in-depth work in all of the classes as well as a lot of reflection. additionally, studying foreign languages from such a young age has helped me gain a deep knowledge not only in these languages but also in the cultures where these languages are spoken. while bris is very small, there is a large cultural diversity that has allowed me to interact and make friends with people from countries around the world that i otherwise would never have met. during my time at bris, i have learned to understand, respect, and appreciate people who are different from me. with these skills, i am confident and assured that i am well prepared to go into the study of international business, and succeed. parents a ? katie chabert, st.

school
we chose to send our child to a catholic
school
because we feel that the academics are excellent, and our child is able to spend her day in an environment in which her faith is nurtured. we enrolled our child at st. michael in particular because it is a co-ed catholic
school
that nurtures the total child? academically, socially, and spiritually. we feel that the
school
is large enough to offer a wide range of classes and activities, but small enough to feel like a close-knit community. a ? lisa catalanatto, our lady of mercy
school
catholic education is important to our family. we wanted our son to attend a
school
that has strong christian values. catholic faith is the center of mercy
school
and is part of all aspects of student life. at mercy, there is a strong feeling of community within the
school
and the church. our lady of mercy
school
is committed to smaller class sizes, which creates an environment where students can participate and interact more with their teachers. ? for an integrated project- based, creative approach to the classroom. i love the thought of my children learning through play and discovering that there are usually multiple solutions to problems. by the numbers 13:1 student:teacher ratio in baton rouge
