Why Choose an Independent School?
YOUR CHILD, KNOWN AND CELEBRATED
At St. Michael’s, every child is known, nurtured, challenged, and loved. Families consistently highlight the benefits of our independent school experience: individual attention, strong student-teacher relationships, small class sizes, exceptional teachers, and high academic standards. Beyond academics, students learn the value of hard work, personal responsibility, leadership, and citizenship—preparing them not just for tests, but for life.
WHY INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS LIKE ST. MICHAEL’s WORK
Research shows independent schools succeed because they provide:
- High-quality, intellectually stimulating learning
- Close-knit, supportive community
- Safe, individualized learning environment
- Exceptional, committed teachers
- Hands-on and experiential learning opportunities
- Enriched experiences beyond the classroom
- Engaged and active parents
- Peer groups/classmates highly motivated to learn
- Values-based education
Independent schools have the freedom to innovate and design programs tailored to their students, combining a mission-driven approach with a breadth of resources. This allows them to meet each child’s intellectual, social, and emotional needs, fostering critical thinking and skills for lifelong success.
