  • I'm an aunt of six nieces and nephews who are currently attending, or have already graduated from St. Matthew. I don't have children of my own at this time; however if and when...they will also attend St. Matthew

    Each student excels in studies, and is encouraged to find the path that God has planned for them. St. Matthew offers a safe and friendly environment for each student as well! I hate to say, but our public schools just can't offer that anymore. At St. Matthew, the kids are able to get the extra help, which is sometimes needed, because the class size is a bit smaller. Overall, I see this as a benefit to each child.

    The principle and staff are also dictated to being there for each student; including long hours each day, volunteer work and fundraising for our church and school.

    If you're looking for a Christian day school for your child to attend, I recommend that St. Matthew be top of your list!

  • I sent 4 children to this school. It is excellent. It is small enough to give kids personal attention while it is large enough to provide a quality, value-based education. The extracurriculars are great and the teachers very committed and friendly. As a parent, I LOVE ST. Matthew!

  • I have had children at St. Matt's for years and I have found it to be a safe , positive enviroment for them .While it , like all schools , has it's flaws, the assets easily outweigh the liabilities of the school.
    I recommend it without reservation.

  • Children do not get fair treatment in this school. It's all about who you know. I live out of state and have not received one report card or progress report from this school. My child was suspended and put on probation for the rest of the school year for something ridiculous (he brought homemade "fun-dip" to school). I'm calling the school board about this.
