What makes St. Matthew's Unique...

The most significant factor contributing to our success is the strength and dedication of each and every member of the St. Matthew’s community. Love. Integrity. Respect. Honesty. Pride. Honor. Service. These are values that we live at our school. Our students are encouraged to grow in a spiritual environment in which they feel loved and secure. We know that when we capture a student’s heart, we can capture their mind, and with an open heart and mind, anything is possible.

Courtesy Highlights

The courtesy highlight focuses on kindness, good manners, respect and courteous actions toward others. Each week, a new highlight is discussed with the students in chapel and in the class room.

Examples:
• Did I say, “Yes ma’am/sir” or “No ma’am/sir”, today?
• Did I remember to say “Please” when asking for something?
• Did I play safely at school today?
• Did I help someone in need today?
• Did I pick up litter today?
• Did I smile at someone today?
• Did I remember to say “Thank You” today?
• Did I open the door for someone today?

At SMES, we are passionate about learning and we believe our small class size is key to the nurturing environment. We are a close-knit family and encourage each student to seek their God-given talents and gifts.
