St. Benedict students academic achievement significantly exceed that of comparable public schools, at a much more affordable cost than comparable private schools.
As a K-8 school, students avoid the jarring transition to middle school from a typical K-5 program; St.
Benedict School truly prepares students for success in high school and beyond.
We emphasize community both within our school and with the outside world.
Within the school, each student belongs to a "family," each of which includes a student from each grade.
