"The best possible start."
Saint Michael School - Vermont's First Catholic School
Something you have to experience...
Saint Michael School is known for its academics, faith and global view of active citizenship. What's harder to capture on paper is the love and community fostered, shared and grown inside our walls. What happens inside the hearts and minds of our students stems from the expectation that they reach deep inside themselves to produce not only exceptional work but to also become exceptional humans.
"I have no doubt in my mind that my daughter Meghan's 9 years at Saint Michael School contributed to the smart, kind and respectful young woman she is today. Those qualities and more are instilled in everything Saint Michael School teaches. The education reached far beyond the classroom and helped develop Meghan into the self-reliant, confident and thoughtful teenager she is today." - Karen Hoppe, Mother of SMS graduate
We meet every student right where they are. Each individual at Saint Michael School feels loved, respected and valued. Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another -John 13:34
And yes, the academics are exceptional. It is only because of the generosity of our community that we are able to offer over $100,000 in financial aid and scholarships each year so more children can have the best possible start.

Why families choose SMS.
Since 2014, our enrollment has increased from 74 students to 126 students! Why? Because at Saint Michael School we focus on the development of the whole student – Body, Mind, and Spirit – and that has made all the difference to families who want more for their children.
“We have not only found acceptance, but also enough kindness to last our daughter through High School. Thank you Saint Michael Catholic School." - Ms. Jess Cheslawski, mother of 2nd grade SMS student
“We are not a very religious family. We are open to our daughter learning about religions and choosing her own path of faith. With that in mind, I fondly compare religion class to a morals class. From my observation it teaches right from wrong and how to treat one another.”– SMS parent
"The education provided to my children by the staff at Saint Michael School is exceptional. My daughter, who is in high school, was prepared to tackle advanced courses in Mathematics and Language Arts. My son, presently enrolled in Saint Michael Elementary School, receives the structure and support that young children require to succeed academically. Saint Michael School provides a great educational experience." - Jerry Forkin, Father of current SMS student & SMS graduate
Why Your Give Matters.
Your generosity last year helped us:
- Offer over $100,000 in scholarships to bring the SMS experience to all children who desire it.
- Add green space to our campus.
- Extend much-needed Teacher increases and hire additional Faculty to support our growing school. Teachers at Saint Michael School work for at least 35% less than public school educators. Working at Saint Michael School is a calling and a sacrifice. Help us give back to our Faculty who give so much.
- Purchase/update of technology to best equip our students for a technology based future
- Expansion and update of our art and music curriculum to enhance our students' "whole person" education.
