St. Paul was a great choice for my schooling. Would definitely send my kids there.

Great school, wish I was still there.

St. Paul has been the best choice for our children's education! They are both thriving in a Christian environment where they are shown love by their teachers and respect by their peers. In the morning as they walk down the hall to their classroom my children are greeted by all teachers and administration staff by name! Our girls feel safe and happy at their school. They are challenged by high academic standards and are reaping the benefits of smaller class sizes. Great communication between teachers and parents! We know our girls will be more than prepared for high school and college.

Very high academic standards, caring Christ-Centered staff, excellent non-core classes (art, music, language, physical ed, etc), top extracurricular sporting activities! We have four children attending currently, all started in kindergarten and we''ve been thrilled with our experience at St. Paul Lutheran, Ann Arbor!

St Paul has been a great choice for our family. My children receive a Christ-centered education in a caring environment with strong academics. My oldest is graduating from St Paul this year, having attended since kindergarten. I have no doubts that he is well prepared for high school.

We love the preschool at St. Paul! Our daughters are receiving strong academic foundations in a caring, Christ centered environment. We researched several preschool programs in the greater Detroit Metro area. We chose St. Paul because it has a warm, nurturing atmosphere that promotes academic, cognitive and social development. We were new to the area and decided to live in Ann Arbor because of St. Paul School and Church.
Endorse St. Paul Lutheran School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
