I have loved it here last year I went to a public school here in town. In the last year I have felt a huge increase in my knowledge and help compared to last year.

My overall experience with Saint Charles has been amazing. The hardest part was transferring in during Sophomore year. I had to learn how to adapt and keep up with the harder academics. The best part is the Brotherhood and Faith aspects. Our principal is always encouraging us to "get to know your brother more!" I have made so many friends that are really brothers. I wish more guys at Saint Charles realized how incredibly blessed they are to be in an environment that pushed for academic success through growing in relation to your friends and yourself.

Best school in Ohio for a traditional liberal arts education rooted in Catholic values. Nowhere else will leave you better prepared for college. Best guidance staff around. Also the most fun you'll have in four years.

The arrogance, condescending attitudes of the...

I am only a freshman at St. Charles, but already do I feel I have grown in the past year. I started out last fall and since then there has been a non-stop workload, but I know I am making myself better academically and emotionally. I get home from school and my mindset is to work hard, then have fre...

St. Charles Prep has an outstanding but rigorous curriculum that prepares these young men for college and life after that. By the time they've graduated, they're ready for anything university can throw at them. There is no shortage of sports or fine art activities in which to participate. All the te...
