NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two of our children enrolled in St. Paul and we absolutely love it! The early childhood teachers are flexible with your child adjusting to school and care not only about their academic well being but also their emotional and spiritual. We highly recommend St. Paul to anyone looking for an amazing Christian education.Parent Review9y ago - St Gerald School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFor over 70 years, St. Gerald has been the clear choice for my family. From my mother, aunt, uncles, cousins, children, and myself - St. Gerald has prepared 18 members of our family to succeed in high school and beyond. It’s amazing to see how consistent the quality and care have been through the generations.The teachers and staff create a welcoming, faith-centered environment where students are challenged academically and supported personally. The curriculum encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and moral growth.Parents play a big role, too. From Room Moms and Coaches to Office Staff and Advisory Board members, families truly partner with the school to support every child’s experience.No school is perfect, but St. Gerald offers an atmosphere where parents can be confident their children are growing academically, spiritually, and socially from Pre-K through 8th grade, and beyond, as their connection to St. Gerald ties them to a legacy of faith, friendship, and lifelong success.Parent Review6mo ago - South Side Baptist School
