St. Paul of the Cross School is a vibrant Catholic community that instills a strong faith foundation in students from preschool through eighth grade.
Our rigorous curriculum is inclusive, collaborative and differentiated. St. Paul of the Cross School engages students and families in a comprehensive approach
to the
social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth through a variety of co-curricular service, learning, and athletic programs.
Our graduates are faith-filled leaders equipped with 21st century skills and prepared to succeed in an evolving global society as committed Christians and loyal citizens.

We place the highest value on our Catholic beliefs, which are woven throughout all aspects of our lives at St. Paul of the Cross School. We believe that through an enriched prayer life, an awareness of the needs of others, and study of our faith, students will grow in their Catholic life. Our ultimate goal is to develop within each of our children a moral conscience that will help guide them throughout their lives. Morning prayers and intentions begin the students’ day. Once a week students in Kindergarten through 8th grade join the parish community at morning mass.

Through the school year, students plan and participate in monthly themed all school Masses. Parents and community members are invited to attend these and all prayer services. Our all school Masses celebrate saints, the season of the Church, Catholic traditions such as Rosary, Stations of the Cross, May Crowning, and important issues and concerns of our faith such as Social Justice, and being good stewards of the Earth.

We work to instill in each of our students a lifelong desire and commitment to helping others. All of our students participate in local, national and/or international community service projects. These projects vary from year to year and often correspond with the interests of individual grades.
