About Our School

St. Michael’s Catholic Preparatory School is the result of the long-anticipated unification of two outstanding Independent Catholic Schools:  St. Gabriel’s Catholic School, founded in 1999 for grades PK-8, and St. Michael’s Catholic Academy, founded in 1984 for grades 9-12.  The unification allows for the continued expansion of excellent programming for students grades PK3 through 12; alignment of academics, athletics, fine arts, and STEM programs; as well as overall cultural cohesion around our Catholic identity.  We are excited by the unlimited opportunities in front of us!

What does it mean to be an independent school? Independent schools provide a premier and richly diverse curriculum, an outstanding faculty, a close-knit community, and a truly responsive experience that invites every member to stretch themselves to their limit and then go a little further. Independent schools provide the platform from which students launch with the skills and tenacity to fulfill their dreams.

What does it mean to be a Catholic school? Catholic schools are grounded in a centuries-old intellectual tradition of academic excellence while focusing on the whole child. The universality of our faith means that all are welcome to participate in an environment that prizes ethical decision-making, humble service to others, observance of the Cardinal Virtues of Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Fortitude, and a life centered on the teachings of Christ. Catholic schools enable students to pursue a higher truth as they promote human dignity and the common good.

St. Michael’s Prep combines all the best of the Independent school and Catholic school traditions into one unique, rich experience. Our faculty and the depth and rigor of the educational experiences they deliver are second to none. Our responsive approach to educating the whole child through our Innovative Learning and STEM programs means that students are continuously challenged to think critically and creatively, while learning to persevere as they tinker and solve problems to form a viable solution through guided inquiry and discovery. All this exists in a warm, welcoming, intentional Catholic environment that places a priority on raising ethical, kind, global citizens who will be our next servant leaders. Simply put, St. Michael’s graduates are made for the world that awaits them, and we could not be prouder.
