About Us Richmond's oldest independent school south of the James River

St. Michael’s is a school where academic achievement, religious affiliation with the Episcopal Church and participation by the students and parents are highly valued. The academic community is small enough to enable adults and children to know each other, but large enough to provide opportunities in performing arts, sports, clubs and robotics.

Established in 1957 by St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, our kindergarten through eighth grade co-educational school draws students from Richmond City as well as the surrounding counties of Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Chesterfield and Powhatan. Our Lower School, which serves approximately 250 kindergarten through fifth graders, is located on the fourteen acre Bon Air Campus in Chesterfield County.

The Middle School, just ten minutes from the Bon Air Campus, is located on the W. E. and Dale Harman Singleton Campus. Approximately 125 sixth through eighth graders are served on this scenic thirty acre campus, nestled in a natural setting complete with a five acre lake.

St. Michael’s offers two classes per grade with a faculty ratio of 1:11. Most classes average 20 students.

We are proud of our students and the community that exists at St. Michael’s. We are equally proud of our graduates who are praised by high school guidance counselors and admission directors for their academic achievement and enthusiasm for learning. We invite you to explore our website and visit our two campuses to learn more about what we offer.

St. Michael’s does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national origin or handicapped status. Additionally every church denomination is welcomed.
