St. Pauls Choir School

SPCS is synonymous with excellence wherever it is analyzed. Catholic values, outstanding academic and musical education, small classes, and strong relationships. As my son says, SPCS is a big family. He's very happy!

Our son has been at St. Paul`s for two years. He has been happy and engaged since the first day and has made great academic progress. The classes are small, allowing for almost individualized instruction. Being all-boys allows the faculty to tailor the curriculum to boys` learning styles. The music is not just about the music. It is a vehicle for stretching their brains, for learning how to collaborate, for developing time management skills, and for experiencing the pride that comes with authentic achievement. I should note that St. Paul`s requires a significant time commitment from the boys and from families. That is all by design-- the boys get so much out of being a Chorister because they put so much into it. We are neither Catholic nor particularly musical but have never second-guessed our decision to send our son to St. Paul`s. It has strong academics and a close community with many wonderful traditions. Our son is thriving there!

Our son joined St. Paul's Choir School (SPCS) in the middle of 3rd grade and as much as we loved our public school, we have not regretted our decision to go to St. Paul's. Our son likes the fact that SPCS is an all-boys school. He sings, plays the piano, studies hard, and best of all loves going to school. We could not have asked for a more welcoming and diverse community!

I have taught here for nine years, and I love what this school does for middle schoolers. The grades 5-8 choral rehearsals do such a wonderful job of leveling the social playing field. Boys respond to and support one another's talents and progress. As a teacher, too, the small classrooms are quite the gift. There is always enough "air time" for each student to speak and plenty of opportunities to differentiate for each of our learners.

SPCS is part of our son's life since 5th grade. This is a great school that supports his skills from academics, music, social-emotional, faith, faith, service, all aspects of his life as a person. We could not be happier with the experience he is having there.

We joined SPCS when my son was entering 7th grade and he made impressive progress in the small, in-person classes when many schools were still teaching remotely. I love that they read primary texts in social studies, practice public speaking in rhetoric, and go deep into music theory. The curriculum is rigorous, but the encouragement of the teachers has meant that my son's confidence has grown immensely in his time there.

Our son is receiving an excellent education at Saint Paul`s. The school offers a unique and rigorous academic, musical, and religious education along with small class sizes, nurturing teachers, and a wonderful community. A must-see the school!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. The music education is exceptional (plus all the benefits that come with being part of choir-like teamwork and presence). The fact that it's a boy's school also means they really teach to boys - lots of breaks and activity, and fast-paced, but also focused on character formation and developing them into kind and compassionate young men. The small classes and excellent faculty offer a rigorous education. Since fall 2020 the school has been full-time in person and taken great care to operate safely during COVID.

The school is on the rise. This school offers the musical opportunity of a lifetime. Academically, it's getting a lot better. All in all, I''d highly recommend this school.
