St. Matthias has been a great place for our children to grow in all ways - socially, academically, physically, spiritually. The teachers are committed to their students and their own personal growth. The new leadership has really made a huge difference in our school. The parent community is active and involved.

We are very happy at St. Matthias. Our children receive a lot of attention with the low teacher to student ratio and have many opportunities to grow independently through the IB curriculum. Students have access to several special classes (e.g. music, art, Spanish) and extracurriculars (e.g. dance, music, sports, yoga, etc.). The community is very inclusive and administrators and teachers are easy to communicate with.

I've been a school parent since 2005. My three boys have all come through SMS. My now Senior was the first fully accredited IB class to graduate and the education he received prepared him for a selective high school. The values they all learned at SMS prepared them for life. This school community, the teachers and leadership is unparalleled. Take a tour, talk to student ambassadors. Put this school on your short list.
