Flourish Fully at St. Matthew’s
At St. Matthew’s Parish School, our students flourish in both mind and in heart. They discover their world while discovering themselves. They each find and build on their unique set of strengths and talents, and dedicate themselves not only to their own enrichment, but to the service of others, of their communities, and of the planet.
As an Episcopal school grounded in the values of inclusion, our community welcomes families of all faiths and cultures. St. Matthew’s continues its tradition of inspiring a love of learning at every grade and teaching children how to self advocate through our model of service leadership to help each child flourish to their true potential.
To begin your exploration of St. Matthew’s and what makes it special, we invite you to complete an Inquiry. You will receive emails notifying you of events happening throughout the year. In order to fully appreciate what makes St. Matthew’s so special, we hope you’ll join us on campus for an admission event and also a campus tour – both events require registration, which can be done through the Inquiry form on our Admission Portal once you’ve applied, or by using the links in the visit section below.
We encourage you to get to know our incredible community where children flourish as both achievers and contributors, as learners, and as human beings.

We love St Matthew's because it feels like home - a real community of parents and students supporting each other. It feels like our children will be able to stay young at heart in this school while still developing and growing into incredible humans to send out into the next chapters of life. Every teacher and staff member truly feels excited to play a part in the children's futures. The world may not always feel magical but St Matthew’s does.
