We invite you to schedule a tour of our campus and experience the welcoming, loving environment that makes our kids feel at home.

1.  A Strong Catholic Foundation:  St. Paul's is a mission driven Catholic elementary school serving children in PreK-3 through Grade 8.  Our culture, climate, and curriculum is rooted in our Catholic faith and values.  We emphasize moral development and self-discipline.

2.  Each Child is an Individual:  The faculty and staff of St. Paul's care about each of our students.  We take the time to build a personal relationship with each of our children, which not only helps them to achieve academic success, but also helps students identify a sense of self.

3.  We are Family:  Time and time again we hear from our students and parents that St. Paul's is their home.  The staff and families have a unique bond that everyone who visits can feel.  Our love and support of one another on this journey is one of the biggest reasons our families love our school.

4.  Students are Encouraged to Discover Their Passion:  Various after school clubs and sports are available for students to attend so they can nurture their interests and uncover new ones. 

5.   Academics:  The curriculum guidelines set forth by the Diocese of St. Augustine are the basis for our school program.  Textbooks and instructional materials are chosen to meet the students’ needs as set forth by the diocesan guidelines. 

6.  Our Parents:  Parents are our partners.  A successful school has a strong teacher-parent-student relationship.  Our St. Paul's parents are doers.  They make great things happen for our community!
   
7.  Class Size:  We are a small school with one class of each grade.  On average, our student to teacher ratio is 18:1.

8.  Teachers:  With small classes, our teachers have an opportunity to learn each individual's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses.  Our teachers are dedicated, accountable, and determined.

9.  College Bound:  Catholic schools have a 99% high school graduation rate with 85% going on to college.

10.  Location:  We are conveniently located in Riverside.  A quick ride from I-10 or I-95,  on the outskirts of downtown Jacksonville.
