  • St. Nicholas Cathedral School is a mixed bag when it comes to health and safety. Cleanliness in classrooms is generally good, but bathrooms can sometimes be a concern. Illness communication is reactive; you get notified after an exposure, but pre-emptive alerts are rare. The sick policy is clear on paper, but enforcement feels inconsistent. I've seen visibly ill children in class, which is frustrating. Staff responsiveness to health questions depends entirely on who you speak to; some are great, others less so.

  • St. Nicholas Cathedral School generally maintains good cleanliness, especially in common areas. Classrooms are tidied daily, though deep cleaning seems less frequent. Illness communication is prompt when there's a known exposure, but sometimes it feels like they're reacting rather than proactively preventing. The sick policy is clear, but I've occasionally seen kids with clear symptoms at school, which makes me wonder about strict enforcement. Staff responsiveness to health concerns is usually good, they're approachable and willing to listen.
