School really prepares you for college. Demanding and not for the unserious student. No tolerance for disruptive behavior. ACT prep is central to curriculum. Many activities for sports oriented or stem kids, not so much for the artsy type. No fluff courses. Easy to make friends as no one cares about being popular. Competition for academics is pretty fierce. .

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.

I liked the challenging academic course load, and the college preparatory experience. Our classes allow us to develop strong study skills that we can apply to college. Furthermore, there are endless resources offered by the school for academic help.

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...
