Great school. This is our 3rd school year at St Paul after our daughter's last school closed. It can be daunting for a preteen to change schools after having the same one since kindergarten but the entire staff was so welcoming and made sure she acclimated quickly and she has been thriving! We now have a kindergartner at the school as well and she absolutely adores all the teachers and loves going to school. The principal greets the families every morning during drop off and all 3 pastors are involved within the school as well whether it's reading to the littles, leading chapel, teaching upper classes, to coaching sports teams. We're very grateful to be part of the St Paul school family!

We love St. Paul! It's a great place to learn, play sports, meet new families, and most importantly, share Jesus! Such caring teachers, staff, and pastors.

Would strongly recommend enrolling at St. Paul! My children have been through public school and a different private school that left them behind. That will not happen at St. Paul! The teachers go above and beyond! During virtual all parents had cell phone numbers of teachers for assistance, and they were always right there for us and their students. They are kind, inclusive, and caring school for all children. I can`t praise them enough!!!

Wonderful school with great teachers! Building is always clean and well taken care of. Staff is amazing and always willing to help with your needs.

St. Paul faculty really believes in our children and what they can achieve with guidance. This year has been a difficult one, with the pandemic missing out on the extracurricular activities and sports. They give all students a chance to try out for a new activity. We have been blessed with parents and staff to stay home when they are sick that allows us to stay in person for learning . We love St. Paul as we are treated as a family and cares for.

All three of our children went to school here, and they all had a wonderful experience. I'm glad we chose St. Paul when we were looking for a school!
