TESTIMONIALS

"Being an alumni of St. Pats, I had a great experience at the school. I remember the quality education I received and the discipline the school instilled. Most importantly though, was the sense of family and community in the school. When my family visited the open house last year, we were welcomed and felt at home. We knew we were making the right choice for our daughter."

Andrew Konyha - St. Patrick Alumni/Parent

We both grew up going to Catholic school but were not prepared for how impressed we would be with St. Patrick's School - and our daughter is only in Preschool! We live closer to 7 other Catholic schools but chose St. Pat's because of the small class sizes, academic excellence, and commitment to the growth of each student. St. Pat's not only provides for its students, but also its families, with a very welcoming school community. We are so impressed with all of the things our daughter is learning, both academically and spiritually, at only 4 years old. We cannot wait to see her continue her education at St. Patrick's, especially with the new Classical curriculum!

St Patrick School provided a unique learning experience which focuses on faith and the success of every student. The personalized learning experience I received allowed me to be placed into advanced courses in high school. The strong faith foundation which was established during my time at SPS I continue to build upon today.

"St. Patrick’s is a one of a kind school community, built on dedication to faith and education. Every day students are challenged to develop a love for learning inside and outside of the classroom. The Administration, Teachers, and entire School Community are dedicated to supporting students and encouraging their spiritual and personal growth."

Jeff Goins – Parent/Public School Teacher

"St. Patrick is a small school in our community that features unbelievably dedicated educators and staff. They work hard to create a close knit familial environment that incorporates religious education on a daily basis. The smaller class sizes present at this school enable each child to receive direct guidance and individualized attention. All of these factors combined with the never ending support of actively involved parents and parish members have factored into our decision to send our children to St. Patrick School."

Meghan Kovalak – Parent

"Our son Deven started at St Pats last year as an 8th grader and has been treated like a part of the family since day one. He loves just how welcoming everyone has been including all of the students and the staff. It is a much smaller more personal experience than public school. As parents we love how much more attentive his teachers have been, but more importantly we've watched as Deven began to thrive. He pushes himself to keep his grades up and we love to see him WANT to be involved in everything that the school does. This includes volunteer work, sports and even the upcoming school play. He really feels like he has become a part of this small close nit community and we just could not be happier with our decision to bring him over to St Pats."

"Our family’s journey with St. Patrick School in Carleton has been nothing short of amazing. As a proud alum who attended St. Patrick from kindergarten through 8th grade, I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible impact this school can have on a child’s life. Now, as a parent, it’s even more special to see my own children thriving here—our 13-year-old daughter, 6-year-old son, and 4-year-old son are all students at St. Patrick, and we couldn’t be happier with the decision to entrust their education to this exceptional community.

St. Patrick School is so much more than a place of learning—it’s truly a family. From the caring and dedicated teachers to the close-knit relationships among students and parents, this school fosters a sense of belonging and support that’s rare to find. The small class sizes mean that every child gets the individual attention they need to excel academically and grow in confidence.

For our family, the faith-based education is priceless. The values instilled in me as a student are the same values being passed on to my children today: kindness, respect, responsibility, and a deep connection to our faith. It’s heartwarming to see them grow spiritually through daily prayer, regular Mass, and a curriculum rooted in Christian principles.

Our daughter, now an Alumni, has blossomed into a confident and capable young woman, ready to take on high school with a strong foundation of academics and morals. Our younger boys are already thriving in this nurturing environment, excited to learn and make friends in a place where they feel safe and loved.

St. Patrick has truly been a blessing for our family, shaping not just our children’s education but their character and faith as well. I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to be part of this incredible community again—this time as a parent. If you’re considering a school that will support your child’s growth in every way possible, I can’t recommend St. Patrick enough."
