Our Specials

At St. Michael Catholic School, we see students as more than just a seat in a classroom increasingly focused on simple test-based academics.

 

We aim to inspire both minds and spirits, both in and out of the classroom, as well as help students grow in an environment enhanced by strong moral values like kindness, generosity and hospitality.

 

We do this by including our Catholic tradition in our everyday classes, as well as exposing our students to numerous opportunities to be creative, through art, music and physical education.

Our main goal at all times is providing students with a rigorous, well-rounded education – and everything we do is enhanced by our moral traditions, the person of Jesus and the Catholic faith.
