St. Mary's School in Kickapoo has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt the warmth of the community. The teachers and staff truly care about each child, not just academically but as a whole person. The small class sizes mean our kids get the individual attention they need to thrive, and we've seen them grow in both confidence and character.One of the things we love most is how faith is woven into everyday learning-not just in religion class, but in the way the students are encouraged to be kind, respectful, and thoughtful. And you don't have to be Catholic to attend! The school welcomes all families who want their children to have a strong, values-based education in a supportive environment.Another standout feature is the CONNECTed program, which makes learning truly hands-on. Students get to explore agriculture, cooking, STEM, and coding in ways that make subjects come alive. The outdoor classroom is a huge hit, giving kids a chance to learn by doing rather than just sitting at a desk. It's such a unique and valuable approach that keeps kids engaged and excited about school.St. Mary's also offers fantastic extracurriculars, from music and theater to athletics, making sure every child can find something they love.If you're looking for a school that feels like family, where your child will be supported, challenged, and nurtured, I can't recommend St. Mary's enough. It's a place where kids don't just get a great education-they grow into amazing people.
