We have been educating students for over 150 years!

Founded in 1872, St. Michael School works in partnership with parents to:

  • provide each child the opportunity to grow according to his/her needs

  • build the value of service to others

  • enhance the development of responsible members of the parish community.

​

St. Michael School and St. Basil the Great Parish developed a partnership over 20 years ago that allows our younger students to be taught at the Early Education Center at St. Basil in Brecksville. The center is home to the St. Michael preschool and preK. Kindergarten through Grade 8 are located at the Main Campus in Independence. The enrollment for the 2023/2024 school year in grades PreK-8 is 297.

We offer an excellent academic education grounded in basic Christian values. St. Michael School is a U.S. Department of Education Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The school also was recognized by The Ohio Academy of Science's Governor's Thomas Edison Awards for "Excellence in STEM Education and Student Research." The school focuses on meeting the needs of all students, including those requiring remedial or enrichment experiences.

 

We are fully accredited by the Ohio Catholic Schools Accreditation Association and the National Catholic Education Association.

Non-Discrimination: St. Michael Parish School recruits and admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Furthermore, it is school policy to comply with applicable constitutional and statutory provisions regarding non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, disability, and age. St. Michael Parish School is a Catholic school and has the right to conduct all aspects of its operations, including, without limitation, curricular and non-curricular activities, in accordance with Catholic teachings and beliefs, and to require that its students and staff conduct themselves at all times in a manner that is consistent with Catholic teaching.

​

St. Michael Parish School will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or ethnic origin in the hiring of its certified or non-certified personnel.  As a religious organization, the School is also bound by Canon Law and Catholic doctrines and disciplines. For this reason, active membership in the Catholic Church may be a condition of employment for certain positions. All staff members, regardless of membership in the Catholic Church, must abide by the values and mission of the School and the Catholic Church. Nothing in this policy shall require the School to act in a manner contrary to the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church or be construed to diminish its rights as a religious organization.

All employees and volunteers who have contact with students undergo thorough screening, including background checks through the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation & Identification (BCI&I). For complete information on screening policies, see the revised Policy for the Safety of Children in Matters of Sexual Abuse, section 1.2 (p. 3).
