WHY CHOOSE US?
“Across the board from Pre-K to 6th grade, my kids have been fortunate enough to have teachers and aides who have cared about them academically and personally. I know at any time I can reach out and the line of communication is always there. You always feel welcome. Parent involvement is essential in Catholic education. After 18 consecutive school years at St. Paul School...I always say “Reason #6,481 of why we love St. Paul School!”
“It’s pretty easy as to why we chose St. Paul School for not only one but both of our daughters. The Catholic education is an important piece and having God at the center of their day, but there is so much more to the experience including the safety and family oriented environment. I never worry about either of my daughters feeling alone when they enter the doors each morning. The teachers know each of them by name and they both love being a part of the Irish Pride! We love St. Paul School!”
“Before our son started Pre-K 3 at St. Paul, my husband and I came to observe, and we left feeling so good about our choice. Now he’s in Kindergarten, and Trey truly loves his school. The teachers are warm, steady, and genuinely respectful toward their students. The classrooms feel calm and encouraging, and you can tell kids feel safe and seen. We’re grateful to be part of a school that values the whole child!”
“I could go on and on about all that I love about St. Paul School from the smaller classrooms to the one on one attention our children receive. But, this is a common boast for most parochial classroom settings.
Instead, I would like to highlight the wonderful staff that goes above and beyond each and every day to make our children’s day the best day it can be, from planning special events to creating the best nutritious lunch menu, personally checking on our child with an extended hospital stay to simply helping to locate their lost items.
The commitment and care shown by the teachers and faculty have made a significant impact on our children’s education and overall well-being. We truly appreciate the positive and nurturing environment that the staff works so hard to maintain. I can confidently say that each individual there gives our children someone to look up to. Most importantly, we are so grateful for the comfort we have when dropping them off every day because we know that our children are safe and cared for as if there were family. Because that’s what we are...SPS Family!”
Thank you for all that you do!
“We were encouraged by family and decided to choose St. Paul School after having a poor experience with the public school system. It was the best choice we ever made and wish it was our choice from the start. My son is excited for school every morning! He tells me often he loves his teachers and friends and has already learned so much in a few short months. We all love this school so much and couldn’t be happier or more proud to be a part of the St. Paul family. Thank you so much for all of your efforts! It shows every single day.”
“There’s nothing more valuable to a parent than the safety and well being of their child(ren), especially when it comes to their learning environment. St. Paul School’s faculty and staff go above and beyond for each child and family that are in this community. Walking through the doors and into classrooms when a child feels safe, loved, cared for and free to be themselves is the best circumstance for them to grow, learn, develop, and explore. From the wonderful office staff when you first arrive, each kind teacher and aide as you learn and work, the awesome kitchen ladies when you fuel your body, the encouraging principal, to the behind the scenes people who make each day full of smiles and opportunities...this place explodes with love, faith, family and values that I am grateful our children get to be a part of! I am also thankful to have been a child who experienced all of this in these same halls 30 years ago!”
“There are many reasons I love St. Paul School. I Know my children are loved and cared for while they are at school. Each child is treated like family. I have never worried about my kids after dropping them off at school. When I walk into the building you can see the happiness from both the students and the staff. I have no doubt St. Paul’s was the very best decision I made for my children."
