... Read more with respect and admiration and are committed to teaching every child - not just the 'bright' ones. This is old fashioned Catholic school at its best. Children are taught the fundamentals (along with many extras) and they are taught values and morals as well. The academics are advanced for the area, so the kids go on to great high schools and colleges. The families at the school are welcoming and friendly. Our first year ended too soon and we cannot wait for September. If my child could be inspired, anyone's could. Read less

I am a graduate of St. Paul's School. I can say unequivocally that the education that I received provided a solid foundation for me as I furthered my educational and career endeavors.

As I understand from former classmates whose children currently attend or have attended St. Paul's, the school has moved forward with the times, yet continues its tradition of academic excellence. I would recommend St. Paul's to anyone who is seeking a solid academic and spiritual education for their child in an environment that is nurturing, individualistic and forward thinking. Congratulations to St. Paul's for 50 years of providing opportunities for success in academics and life to the children of Wellesley and in my case of Boston. Read less
