My daughter started Saint Charles in 5th grade, coming from a larger school it was so very nice to get individual attention. Her teachers are vested in her education, they ensure every child understands concepts so that they progress. They motivate students to be confident and capable learners. Collaboration among students is facilitated through project-based learning and the use of tablet-based technology. In addition, the campus at first seems small however that is what makes it so special, you get a more personalized approach. They also offer so much extracurricular activities from the mock trial, swimming, basketball, volleyball, football, and more. They have a great parent community which fosters a great environment for all the kids. This is all seen in the graduating class as they are well prepared and accepted to reputable High Schools.

My eldest daughter went to St Charles for 9 years and I have two younger children still enrolled. I love that all the teachers know the kids and that the kids know each other very well. The school has a true sense of community, with a lot of parent involvement. The teachers are not only credentialed, but many of them have their Masters Degree as well. The kids graduate from St Charles and continue on to many local high schools, including Notre Dame, Providence, Immaculate Heart and Loyola. St Charles also has an awesome swim team that is available to kids from Kinder-8th grade.
