St. Stanislaus is a neighborhood Catholic school grades Pre-K through 8, serving Meriden, CT and the surrounding communities.
In 1897, founders from Poland created this God-centered learning environment, where prayer, advanced study, and service still prevail.
A truly experienced and devoted faculty develops each student spiritually and academically through a commitment to innovation and technology, the advantage of outstanding facilities, and by daily implementation of 100 year old traditions.
Through this character building process, young men and women build the foundation that prepares them for secondary school, and, for the rest of their lives.
St. Stanislaus School is an active, and educationally sound Catholic community which strives to develop and educate the whole child.
We aim to provide a program which encompasses spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, artistic and technological development of each student.
