    St. Charles Preparatory School Reviews

    Come for the Books, Stay for the Brotherhood. The teachers are dedicated and the students are motivated the arts and music is not as strong as it could be. The connections you make last you a life time. I am truly blessed for the opportunities this school and school commitment has given me. At first I didn’t want to be at St.Charles but now I can not thank my parents more for choosing to send me to the distinctive leader in catholic education. This school has changed my life forever and if you are a perspective student I I hope that it will one day change yours. If you are a perspective parent this is the greatest gift you could ever give your child. Giving him brothers for life and an education paralleled by no other. College is a joke compared to the academics you will experience at this school.

    St. Charles is an excellent school. There are many great schools out there, but no-one does more to maximize a student’s potential. It gives you the tools to succeed in life after high school. I can’t express how fortunate and blessed I was to go there. Best decision of my life!
    St. Charles is probably one of the strongest schools throughout Ohio. The strength in math and science areas is immense, and there are so many great, helpful, caring teachers ready to prepare one for college. The academic rigor is so intense that college seems much easier. The school fosters a sense of brotherhood among the students and faculty the remains forever and encourages helping other struggling students. Although the tuition may be high, it is worth every penny to go through the stress and obstacle that is St. Charles because college will be so much more easy.
