My 6 children have all gone to this kind, loving, welcoming school for 25 years now, my two oldest both graduated from Ball State and the other from IUPUI and now our 3rd son is attending Purdue as a freshman, 2 are at Marian and our last son is still at St Adalbert, I know in my heart because of the teachers they've all had, my children not only have a great education but also because of the teachers they are now where their at in life and with that I hope they use it throughout their lives, along with God's love and grace, my family will always hold St Adalbert close to our hearts!!

Very family oriented, teachers all go above and beyond here at St Adalbert, when I text the teachers to see how my kids are they respond with a picture as soon as they can to show me their fine, they pay so much attention to the children, I have good kids because of the attention they put on them, most importantly they are not only taught about their studies but also of God, I cant name a best teacher because they all are awesome here, God Bless them all, I deffinitely recomend St Adalbert to anyone!!!!
