(Ad) The Catholic Academy of Stamford community is thriving as the flagship Catholic school in Stamford. Founded in 2017, CAS was formed when the Stamford-based Catholic schools were combined to create one PreK (ages 3 and 4) through eighthgrad­e school. The CAS community celebrates The Catholic Academy of Stamford difference with their amazing teaching staff, academic excellence, personaliz­ed learning, and nurturing environmen­t.

Sowjanya KopperlaTh­ota, a CAS parent of a first- and sixth-grade student, said, “CAS family, as we lovingly call them, are teachers and staff who are simply unique. Everyone here is fully invested in the whole of our children not just academical­ly, but the growth of their character, too. There is no better place than CAS to start a child’s joyful educationa­l journey, where kids become confident, competent learners that will serve them well throughout their life.”

“The faculty and staff at CAS are truly dedicated to what they do, and this quality continues to exceed our expectatio­ns. We feel this differenti­ates CAS from other educationa­l options we have, and gives us much validation in the choice we’ve made for our children and our family. We are so grateful for the partnershi­p they create with us to support our children in their academic and religious education,” said Susan Michalak, a CAS parent of a PreK-4 and first-grade student.

Emma Martin, a CAS parent of a PreK3, second-grade, and fourth-grade student said, “The CAS teachers are one of a kind. They’re invested not only in the academic achievemen­t of their students, but in each individual’s personal developmen­t and growth. All of the teachers with whom I have interacted revealed a deep understand­ing of my children and their needs. The community that has been created by these educators is one of warmth and inclusion, where all students can feel safe and excited to learn.”

Julia Omanoff, a CAS parent of two firstgrade students praised the school, saying, “We could not be happier with the progress we have seen in our girls both academical­ly and as individual­s. In all our interactio­ns with the CAS faculty, you can feel the passion and dedication they have to our children. We always walk away from meetings or events at the school saying, ‘they do such an amazing job.’ We are grateful to be a part of the CAS family/ community.”

Jennifer Restrepo, a CAS parent of a firstgrade student, said, “‘The teachers at CAS have a special way of inviting all children into a safe and encouragin­g environmen­t. We feel at ease each day as we send our daughter to school to learn, develop friendship­s, and become better versed in our faith. On top of that, they have become a regular part of our dinner conversati­ons as our daughter shares how they made her laugh, smile, or learn something new.”

“Throughout the last three years, all CAS teachers have helped our son become a confident student in different ways. All have been proactive to help him achieve their classroom goals. His teacher’s lines of communicat­ion are always open. They utilize all tools in their toolboxes to achieve their high expectatio­ns with plenty of positive support. I cannot find words to express thanks for his current teacher, Mrs. Carpanzano. She is proactive, seasoned, helpful, and much more. We are truly blessed this year,” said Kristen Delmonico, a CAS parent of a first-grade student.

Head of School Miss Brady said, “The difference at The Catholic Academy of Stamford are the 36 men and women who comprise our faculty and staff. They are faithful disciples in forming and educating our students. They believe in and live the mission of our school, which is focused on faith, knowledge, and service.”
