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 offer affordable, quality education in a safe environment where our students are our top priority.
We have a fully equipped science lab, Lego League, Robotics, orchestra, liturgical choir, music, art, Girl Scouts, Student Council, and PE.
Athletics is offered as a co-op between St. Stanislaus and Hopkins Middle School. Students in grades 6 - 8 have the opportunity to play on their middle school teams. We are also members of GRACEAC, a Grand Rapids Christian athletic conference offering athletic opportunities for students grades 3 - 8.
We invite homeschool families to join us for various courses through our homeschool co-op.
Students participate in the Holy Eucharist once a week, as well as regularly scheduled reconciliation, adoration, benediction, and other para-liturgical celebrations.
