We had no idea that when we decided to send our children to St. Matthias 8 years ago our whole family would become part of a wonderful, caring community. The dedicated teachers and staff, led by an amazing principal, not only challenge the students with the curriculum, but also to be the best person they can! Our children have grown academically, emotionally and spiritually through the learning, volunteering and participation in the Church. We couldn’t be happier with the education our children are receiving and find great comfort in knowing that they will be prepared for high school and beyond.

St. Matthias is far more than just a school! It is a wonderful community of passionate, dedicated and innovative teachers and administrators that create the best possible educational experience for each and every student. I could not have scripted a better educational fit for my child. She is a part of something very special at St. Matthias and she absolutely loves it. I am eternally grateful to St. Matthias for providing such a loving and nurturing environment, one that has allowed my daughter to flourish and has provided many lifelong friends. GO MUSTANGS!

One of the best decisions my family has made was to enroll our daughter at St. Matthias. I am a teacher with CPS and I am so impressed with the curriculum at St. M. The administration and staff are extremely responsive and I feel like they really know my child. I love the emphasis they place on the social emotional growth of the children. The community at St. Matthias is amazing and our whole family has made close friendships. We are so happy with our decision and our daughter is thriving.

St. Matthias is an amazing community of wonderful students, dedicated educators, and engaged parents. I could not ask for a more welcoming school environment for my child. Throughout our experience with St. Matthias, we have been pleased with the quality of academic instruction, the responsiveness and innovation of the administration, and the continuous, tangible improvements that the school makes each year. I have and will continue to recommend St. Matthias to friends and colleagues.

We are so happy to have found St. Matthias. Our child has blossomed since starting there, and we could not be happier with his teachers, classroom environment, and quality of the academic program. The overall school environment is warm & nurturing with responsive, passionate, & kind administrators. Weve also been impressed by their commitment to being an IB World School, as well as to the education of diverse learners. If youre looking for a vibrant, welcoming school community for your kids, look no further!

Our family started at SMS in the Fall of 2019 and weve been incredibly happy. What started out as a short-term plan for preschool quickly evolved into our long-term education plan for our kids. The school leadership is outstanding, engaged, communicative, and responsible. The teaching faculty is enthusiastic and we have been impressed by their ability to differentiate instruction for diverse learners in our daughters class. Highly recommend, 10/10!

This is an amazing community to be a part of. Theres a true sense of family in both the parish and school where everyone is welcomed and feels like they matter. We have choices about where to send our daughter to school and where to go to church and feel so grateful we made the right choice in belonging to St. Matthias

We are at St. Matthias for a few reasons. The community is tight. We have so many opportunities for families and parents to do stuff together, for example the other night was family game night and another night was service night (we packed lunches for Blessings in a Backpack and made valentines for Misericordia). I go to the Mom’s’ nights out and my husband does Dad’s nights out, specific to each of my kids’ classes. Also the principal is AWESOME. She is really doing great things for the school. And she is there holding the doors open every morning, welcoming all the students BY NAME! It is a great way for the kids to start the day, feeling recognized by the principal. The IB program, although hard to articulate, has also blown me away. I feel like it is teaching my kids how to be successful in the real world, not just be able to regurgitate information. The specific IB concepts that are incorporated in all grades are things like sharing the planet, how the world works, how we organize ourselves, how we express ourselves, etc. All grades follow this, but obviously the students explore more about the concept in each successive grade level. I don’t think I have seen any other school follow this type of learning! We are so happy to be part of this school community!

What a great school and parish! They are very welcoming to all and academically they are a strong school too. My oldest graduated there in 2014 and was accepted at some of the best selective enrollment high schools in the state. My two younger children still attend there and love the friends they are making that will no doubt last them a lifetime. Last year, the school was accredited as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. I can see how the critical thinking skills being taught as part of the IB program are helping my children to be successful in all sorts of different ways. Check out St. Matthias school - - exciting things are happening there.

The best place and the teachers and the principal all try their best to provide books and many more things.

Thank you

It is a great Catholic School, I have 2 grandchildren studying there, they are very happy with the great treatment that their teachers give them and the very good organization that they have. The attention provided by the staff is excellent. In general, I love St. Matthias Catholic School.
