What People Are Saying

Besides receiving an excellent education that prepared me for ministry, I had a great time. I could write a book about my experience at Iona. I miss the Iona School every day.

​-The Rev. Kim E. Roberts, Class of 2014
That first night as a newbie at Iona School, all my anxieties of being an older student who had not actually studied in many years, and who was still wondering if I had gone “over the edge” were put to rest. There were others just like me, and they were happy, loving, welcoming, and, as I would learn, soon to be my new close brothers and sisters. 

​-The Rev. Portia Sweet, Class of 2012
