Saint Paul's - Clearwater's Independent School

Our grandchildren are two and four years old and have started their life long love of learning at St. Paul's. We are so impressed with the compassion and family atmosphere.

Our child started at St. Paul’s in Preschool and is graduating this year. They are very prepared for high school with great studying skills along with the knowledge allowing them to be accepted in the high school of their choice. It has been an amazing experience not just in academics, but also in sports, music, and creating a well-rounded child.

St. Paul's School displays excellence not only in academics, but also in areas of service, leadership, and enrichment programs. We are thrilled to be part of a community that provides nurturing environment conducive to growth both academically and spiritually during these critical childhood years.

We chose Saint Paul’s School 6 years ago for their academics. We stay at Saint Paul’s School for their academics, their independence, and their ability to make my two children love learning. When we started our school search in 2008, we thought we were going to have a very difficult time finding the perfect fit for our children. After visiting three schools, choosing SPS was the easiest decision we have made as parents. Through the transition in leadership, the academics have remained strong and perfectly tailored to meet the needs of our children. We had a strong Interim Head of School in 2013/2014 and our new Permanent Head of School, Samantha Kemmish, has brought high standards, strong experience, and leadership like none other. We are so excited to continue to watch our children grow in confidence, flourish socially, and develop academically at Saint Paul’s School.

Our oldest child started Saint Paul's School in 1997 on the advice of a family friend and in 2013 our youngest child will be graduating from the 8th grade. We have been more than satisfied with the education our children. SPS is a great community if you chose to be involved and you take interest in your child's success. No true education is the product of a school, it is only accessible if parents build a partnership with the school/teachers and their child. Our oldest child entered the IB Program and graduated with honors, our second child is a senior in the same program and doing well. They both were really prepared to take on that rigorous program, thanks to the great education they received from SPS and our expectation of success with support. Through the years there have been many changes at the school be it faculty, administration and staff. Yet our experience has been that it is to bring about better education, improved programs and fiscal responsibility. There is no utopia, but Saint Paul's has been our children's second home. Our children are safe, excited about learning and eager to go to school. What more could you want?
