School Reviews

We chose to send our two boys to SPSL from Pre-K to 8th and could not be happier with the decision. It was an excellent investment all around! As non-Catholics, we were unsure if SPSL would be a good fit but finding a challenging academic program with a focus on diversity and service to others was important in our decision. We toured five other schools in the Midtown area. We immediately felt welcome and comfortable in the culture of SPSL. They say "Everyone is Welcome!" and you can feel the sincerity in halls and classrooms.

I have had two children attend SPSL and have never regretted that decision. It prepares children for a rigorous college preparatory high school curriculum and does so in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. In addition to strong academics, I`ve been especially impressed with their commitment to inclusivity and diversity. All are welcome! The community at SPSL is second to none. I would highly recommend SPSL to other families!
