My daughter is a 6th grader at SPES. The community at SPES is authentically diverse, warm, and inclusive and the academics are top notch. Everyone in the community we've interacted with - students, families, teachers, staff, alumni - have all been impressive. Would highly recommend.

I have two children (1st/3rd grade) currently enrolled at St Paul's. My kids started at less conventional entry points and our transition was incredibly smooth. The thought and care that went into making us feel comfortable was extraordinary. We have found the academics to be exceptional as well. The teachers meet the students where they are at and are able to challenge them or offer additional support. The social emotional curriculum is unmatched. It is weaved into every part of the students day. They are encouraged to take risks and feel empowered to do because they feel cared for and seen by their teachers. The thoughtfulness of all parts of this wonderful school is beyond anything we expected. The administrators are incredibly warm and caring as well. The warmth at St Paul's radiates from the top down. Another amazing aspect is the DEIB piece. Kids are encouraged to be themselves and diversity is truly celebrated. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of this wonderful school.

My son is a 6th grader at St. Paul’s Middle School. After he attended St. Paul’s Lower School, I assumed that the transition to Middle School would be perfectly smooth (despite repeated warnings from the school’s faculty and staff that the transition is always a big one). News flash -> they were rig...

This review is for the middle school (we adored our lower school experience and reviewed it independently). My daughter is in 6th grade, a year known for its emotional ups and downs and yet she has been so solidly shepherded into the middle school experience. From academic success camp to the adviso...

Absolutely awful. They focus more on their welcoming and inclusive aura rather than their actual learning. Staff are unnecessarily strict and enforce so many rules, getting something out of this school is impossible.
