The St. Monica Parish School Experience

-Andrew King - St. Monica Parish School Class of 2004
"I have had experience with multiple styles of education, from public, to private, to homeschooling, and St. Monica Parish school stands out because of a number of qualities. At St. Monica Parish School, the teachers actually have an interest in their students, in their emotional wellbeing and academic success. So much of standard education these days takes place in vast classrooms where students only stay a few minutes at a time. At St. Monica Parish School, I was able to develop a personal friendship with each of my teachers, and each of my teachers got to know my own aspirations and style. St. Monica was a place where I could express my faith in a safe and accepting environment. In every other academic setting in my life, I have constantly found myself avoiding certain topics of discussion relating to my faith. The importance of building a religious base early in life is vital to having a sense of decency and self-respect that will carry one through the trials of teenage years and life in general. St. Monica Parish School is the place where you can trust that your children will be getting an education for life."

“When I think back on the aspects of my education which I believe will truly remain with me for the rest of my life, the religious education I received at St. Monica Parish School definitely sticks out in my mind. Now that I have graduated, I have realized through various experiences in high school that the Catholic values instilled in me during my time at St. Monica School will always keep me grounded. When I think of all the challenges that present themselves everyday, I am assured to know that my education from St. Monica School has not only prepared me academically for high school, but inspired me to follow my Catholic faith for the rest of my life.” 

-Nick Mahan - St. Monica Parish School Class of 2007
"I can imagine no place I would have rather been growing up from kindergarten to eighth grade than St. Monica School. Looking back, I have come to appreciate my teachers’ dedication to my learning and the effectiveness of their teaching styles all the more, and I believe that I made more lasting relationships with my classmates than the majority of the students I now know from other schools. Furthermore, I felt especially prepared for high school as I went into my freshman year at Eastside Catholic High School, both academically as well as spiritually; St. Monica’s helped me build a foundation of scholarship and faith that solidly equipped me for the years to come."

Courtney Mitchell - St. Monica Parish School Class of 2007
"When I think of my experience from St. Monica Parish School, I can only think of positive memories. With an admirable educational and spiritual environment, St Monica Parish School showed me how to display compassion and a heart of gold through my actions. I will forever cherish the bonds I made with my peers, teachers, and student families in my time spent at St. Monica Parish School. This school has shaped and prepared me for my future, and I am so thankful for that."
