Elementary School Grades 1-4
The Elementary School Program lays the foundation upon which a child’s education is built. Students are encouraged to develop a positive attitude towards themselves while learning in a safe, faith base, nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to explore, discover and investigate the world around them, thereby broadening their horizons. Saint Michael School aims to educate children to become kind, cooperative, responsible citizens who will accept and respect individual differences in others – just as Jesus taught. Our children will face new challenges, unafraid to try, and unafraid to fail. Education is a lifelong process, and we strive to prepare children for the journey.

How Saint Michael School Gave Me An Advantage For Life
“St. Michael School taught me everything I know today; my foundation in faith, community, friendship, and knowledge. Not only did St. Michael’s provide a challenging, fun, and enriching curriculum, but it provided a safe, kind, and loving family-environment that I was fortunate to be a part of from kindergarten through eighth grade. Whether it was in the classroom, on a retreat, or during an extra-curricular activity, the staff and faculty at St. Michael’s made it a priority to make each student feel unique, cared for, and acknowledged. They gave us daily opportunities to be as creative as possible and to foster close friendships with classmates that continue to be my best friends today. This strong, multi-faceted foundation that St. Michael’s instilled in me carried me through high school, college, and daily in my career as an occupational therapy practitioner. St. Michael School is truly a special place and I could not be more thankful for the nine years that I had there.”
