We, the St. Gabriel School community, strive to develop and deepen our knowledge and love of God.
We dedicate ourselves to academic excellence and provide students the means to attain it.
Recognizing parents as the primary educators, we work together to foster the full potential of each student- spiritually, emotionally, aesthetically, physically, and socially.
We foster Catholic values by offering faith building experiences in knowledge, prayer, service, and liturgy.
We encourage students to practice stewardship by returning time and talent to their parish and community.
We create and uphold an atmosphere of honesty, dignity, self-discipline, belonging, and tolerance of individual differences.
We cultivate the whole person both during and after school by providing students opportunities in art, music, athletics, scouting and other pursuits.
Believing this philosophy, we hope to enrich out students so they will be, like our patron saint, messengers of the Good News wherever they go.

School Reviews
5 1/6/2024
In the 6 years my children attended St. Gabriel, there were a couple of great teachers who stood out as wonderful educators. Other than that, the administration and support staff, such as school counselors were poorly equipped to properly handle bullying situations. If you are not one of their rich parents who donate lots of money to the school, on top of the thousands of dollars you will pay in tuition, they will let the rich kids bully your child and get away with it. That is a FACT. The parent cliques are terrible and they will not associate with you unless you are exactly like them and live in the St. Louis Hills neighborhood. Otherwise, your family will be treated as outcasts.

The smile on the student's faces tells it all: a great place to learn, relate, and grow.
