St. Stanislaus School

A Catholic Classical school, St. Stanislaus is a thriving, family-oriented, PK - 8 school, deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and traditions of it's founders. Taking a Classical "back to basics" approach to learning, students learn HOW to learn, not what to learn. Academics are focused on our faith. By providing various learning experiences, we endeavor to reach the whole child spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially.
We invite homeschool families to join us for various courses through our homeschool co-op.

School Reviews

5  
Our daughter is a 6th generation St. Stanislaus student! We continue to choose St. Stan''s for the "family" feel that the school provides, the faith-based education and the lifelong learners that are raised at St. Stanislaus. One of our daughter''s favorite parts of this school is the house system. As parents it is very rewarding to see our daughter''s excitement about what she learns/activities she does with the older students, in addition to what her small class size provides. The traditions we have grown to love make this school especially unique. We are excited to see new traditions, such as the house system, continue to make an impact on the lives of these students!
