Excellence"Our Family chose St. Louis when our oldest son began pre-school. Immediately the warm and welcoming atmosphere stood out to us. In the years that have followed, our four sons, now ranging from pre-school to sixth grade, have experienced school in a small, safe, Christian environment that we feel is second to none. The teachers are friends who care for our children as their own, catering to their personalities and needs. Our sons are not only getting a quality education but are learning core values and a firm foundation of faith that will carry into their adult lives. We chose a school for our children but have received so much more. We have a community of people who genuinely love and support them!" -The Sattler Family

Family"We are so thankful that we chose St. Louis School for our son to attend kindergarten! The teachers and staff are kind, compassionate, and caring towards each student! They make you feel like part of their family! Our son was very anxious about attending school, but everyone welcomed him with open arms! They went out of their way to comfort and reassure him in his transition. We enjoyed seeing his gains in self-confidence and independence! We love how the classes are smaller! The individualized attention for each student, not letting anyone fall behind! We also love the fact that God can be incorporated into his daily life! We highly recommend St. Louis School!" - The Flora Family

Success"We cannot say enough good things about our experience at St. Louis. We have a daughter in first grade and a son in the four-year-old pre-k class. Each tend to be shy and have done well transitioning into the classroom. With the smaller class sizes, the attention given to each kiddo made such a difference. It has been neat to see how each of our kids has blossomed during their time at St. Louis. While the smaller class size was helpful, the people that make up the school made an even bigger difference. Someone is always there to greet them with a warm smile at the beginning of the day and checking in throughout. We are grateful to have this school as a part of our community. Our only change would be that the kids could go here K-12!" -The Fullenkamp Family |
Integrity"I am so glad that my husband and I made the choice to keep our daughters at St. Louis School after preschool. They both attended St. Louis for 3-year-old and 4-year-old preschool. We struggled with wondering if we were making the right decision by keeping our eldest daughter at St. Louis versus sending her to a public school for kindergarten two years ago. Ultimately, my husband and I chose St. Louis for many reasons, and we are so glad we did! She is now in second grade and thriving! We also have another daughter in kindergarten this year and the small class size is such a blessing for her! Below are just a handful of reasons we chose to stay at St. Louis School. First, we chose to keep them at St. Louis School due to the small class sizes. They get much more personalized education. In public school, the class sizes are 20+ students per classroom and I have seen some of those children get “lost in the chaos”. This just doesn’t happen at St. Louis School. The smaller class size allows for the children to have more opportunity for one-on-one attention with the teacher, as well as feel more comfortable due to their still emerging social skills. Another reason we chose St. Louis is because of the “family” that the school has become. Everyone at St. Louis is welcoming and you feel like family from the first day. I think it is important to note that we are not members of the church and our first encounter with St. Louis was when our oldest daughter started preschool. Teachers, parents, office staff, and even the principal from day one has been willing to help out whenever needed, even if it isn’t a “classroom/school” issue or concern. Lastly, it is wonderful that at St. Louis School, what we teach at home is being reinforced. They not only teach the required education, they also teach kindness, faith, integrity, generosity, politeness, and resilience…just to name a few! " -The Hogrefe Family |
"Our family was new to St. Louis this year, with students in grades 2nd and 5th. St. Louis has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our children were welcomed with open arms by their teachers and peers. They truly feel like valued members of the school community. Multi-age classrooms provide wonderful opportunities to both learn from and lead peers. Small class sizes allow teachers to get to know students well and challenge them appropriately. Our children have really enjoyed field trips and special events, eating lunch outside picnic style, being able to play in the snow at recess, and having the opportunity to get to know all the students at St. Louis through common lunch and recess times. We have watched their faith grow through religious ed, weekly mass, and reciting the rosary. St. Louis has a safe, caring, and comforting atmosphere that has allowed our children to blossom both academically and socially. Choosing St. Louis for our children was the best educational decision we have made, and I highly recommend this school to others!"
