I can't say enough good things about St. Athanasius. The teachers, staff, and families here go above and beyond in every way. This community is truly something special. We feel so lucky to be sending our four children to this school—every tuition dollar is worth it for the support, care, and genuine love our kids experience every day.

I feel so lucky to have this community in my children's lives. I have 3 kids who have all been at St. A's since preschool, and we feel so lucky to be a part of this school. The teachers are caring and passionate, and the parents are involved and fun. The sports are great and there are a lot of great clubs to choose from. My older kids went to high school prepared, and my 4th grader is thriving. Thank you St. A's.

Grateful to be a part of this community,...

At St. A’s, the commitment doesn’t end when the school day does—students and families carry that spirit into the wider Evanston comm...

My experience with this school has not been the best. The teachers here are very harsh on students and it seems like they feel joyful when they catch students doing something wrong. The teachers are more focused on punishing people than actually teaching. Students get in trouble very often for small...
