School Reviews

St. Matthew School has been an incredible blessing to our family. From the moment we stepped in the door we knew our children belonged there. Our daughters have grown significantly in their relationship with the Lord. Academically, my daughters are provided with an excellent education to prepare them for their next steps. When I drop my girls off in the morning, I know their safety is of upmost importance to the staff and that it is taken very seriously. The values we have at home extend into their school day which is very important to us. I can't say enough about how amazing the teachers and staff are. My daughters are genuinely loved and cared about. St. Matthew is like an extension of our family.
