We lucked out when we chose St Benedict for our oldest's Preschool years and we have now happily been at St Ben's for 10 years with our 3 children. It is more than a "Catholic" school, that strives to support each child and family in a way that I haven't seen before. Besides the children being exposed to many in-school learning options - with PE, foreign language, art, music, and STEM at every grade level - there is also a myriad of after-school opportunities - from athletics, band, chorus, Quiz Bowl, student council and many, many clubs - that let each student shine in their way! The Parent community is also involved and welcoming - something we appreciated as we navigate raising children in a city we love!

We love St Ben`s! We have two sons enrolled, one in first grade and one in preschool. The teachers are so dedicated and know our boys and their capabilities. We love that St Ben`s is an all-in solution for us: an engaging curriculum, aftercare coverage, fun clubs like chess and art, and sports. The parent community is so welcoming and inclusive. There is never a shortage of fun events or community building. We couldn`t be happier here - highly recommend it!

St. Ben's is a fantastic school. It has everything a family could hope for. Wonderful teachers, excellent administration, caring and support of the kids and all their needs both emotional and educational, a wide array of extracurricular activities that many other schools don't come close to matching, and an amazing community filled with parents who are fully invested in the success of the school and the children.
