3/24/2026

St. Sebastians school is an amazing school that has successfully prepared me for college and my life beyond high school. It has taught me a lot about faith, self confidence, and what it means to be a good young man. Because of the variety of classes, programs and clubs, like chapel speeches and debate, I know that the skills I've learned at St. Sebastian's will help me post-graduation.

Sebs is a great institution with handsome men. I am so lucky to have graduated from such an amazing place. Love those Adam's and Ix's!

Here the teachers care for the students very much. The facilities are getting better by the year with knew courts and bigger fields. The technology that is being integrated into everyday life here and in clubs is outstanding. With many classes with small numbers of boys the teacher to student connections are phenomenol. With out a doubt St. Sebs will be one of the best schools for boys in the near future.

We've had a very good experience with the school overall with the character development aspect being a crucial complement to the academic piece. Athletics can be a challenge due to the level of play but they do the best they can to get boys involved in as many things as they can reasonably manage.

Outstanding. My wife and I have four children, one girl and three boys. Sending our first son to St. Sebastians was the best educational decision we have ever made. We quickly realized that he enjoyed going to school and we loved the fact that he was getting a well-rounded education (in the class ro...
