We have 2 children at St. Paul and 2 more that will be there in a year or two when they are old enough. Their class sizes are small and the teachers are absolutely fantastic. My children are flourishing and can't wait for school to start in a few weeks. The environment is very loving and nurturing

When we started our search for the perfect fit for our son, St. Paul was at the bottom of our list. Even after our first tour, we were not all that impressed, but once we met the head of school, listened to the strong academic programs, and saw the loving, nurturing environment we quickly changed ourour

After spending one year in public school, we realized that we wanted more for our daughters than public school could offer. We were so thankful to find out about St. Paul. Academics were very important to us, but we also wanted the Christian teaching that St. Paul offered. The foundation they received

For us, St. Paul was a school where my children were known and loved. They treasure their time spent there. They were challenged to do their very best and have been very successful in every phase of their education. I wholeheartedly recommend St. Paul. Read less

In many ways St. Paul Christian Academy is a good private school. However, our experience in their upper school program (4,5,6th grades) has been disappointing. If you''re considering St. Paul, be sure to inquire about how your child will be supported with extra learning help (remedial or advanced)

Looking back at our time at St. Paul we now feel that probably a Williamson County school would have been a better choice, or perhaps another private school. Yes, at St. Paul they wear uniforms but so does other private schools in the area. From an academic stand point we were told that it was a top

The parental involvement is strong but more of a social outlet for most parents. The school is safe but neighbors an older condo facility that overlooks the playground. So, you never know who is watching your child. I highly recommend looking at other private schools in the area, or affluent public schools in the Brentwood area if you can afford a home there.
