School Reviews

Excellent and welcoming learning experience for your children. Both of my daughters attended Pre-K through 8th Grade. They not only learned to enjoy school, it prepared them well for continuing their education. Fully grown now, one is a practicing physician and the other is an MIT educated software engineer. I credit STM, and the Catholic School System in Baton Rouge, for allowing them to develop a foundation for a successful future.
