We moved from another private school to St. Paul. We are extremely happy with the new school. Before school care and after school programs are best fit for working parents. Teachers go above and beyond for the students. My 4-yr old is so excited about school and she learns so much more than daycare! My 3rd grader loves school and homework amount is just right for her age. Highly recommend the school!

Excellent teachers and staff. Unlike public school, the classroom sizes are small. My child has learned so much since the beginning of the school year.
Endorse St. Paul School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
