Proud panther parent and alumni here. We have one child currently enrolled and one who recently graduated. We love the SPSL community and the quality education and Catholic values our children received. It was an easy decision to send our children to a place I was familiar with and had many fond memories of. Both of our children enjoy SPSL, their teachers, the friends they have made, and the extracurricular activities.

We have two sons (2nd Grade & Pre-K) at St. Pius X / St. Leo School (SPSL) and we have had such a positive experience at SPSL with both of our sons! From the very beginning, we've felt welcomed and supported by a truly caring community. The teachers & staff are exceptional - nurturing, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. The school's values are clearly reflected in everything they do, creating an environment where inclusivity, service to others, kindness, respect, and academic excellence are all prioritized.Our boys are thriving both socially and academically, and we couldn't be happier with the foundation that SPSL is helping to build. We wholeheartedly recommend SPSL to any family looking for a school that combines strong academics with a loving, welcoming, values-based community.

We transferred our kids to Pius Leo when my oldest was going into 5th grade. We selected Pius Leo because of the great values, diversity, education and programming. It's been 8 years between my first and my next three coming to SPSL and we LOVE it. I can attest that my kids were academically prepared in all ways for entering high school, from how to manage note taking, homework, organizing homework, and managing time.One of my favorite programs at SPSL is Speech and Drama club! I also love how the kids get to be involved in mass. Having multi-racial kids, I appreciate the diversity -- so many backgrounds, languages and experiences are welcomed and embraced! I love the parent community as well. I can't say enough about how SPSL has been a community as well as school, for our kids.

My daughter is in kindergarten at St. Pius X / St. Leo School, and we have had such a wonderful experience so far. She absolutely loves her teacher, who has shown so much patience, encouragement, and support. The care the staff gives to each child truly makes a difference. One of the things that stands out most is the diversity within the student community. It's been amazing to see her learning and growing in an environment where different cultures and backgrounds are valued and celebrated. Since starting school, she has grown tremendously—socially and spiritually. She comes home more confident, kind, and excited to share what she's learned. I would highly recommend St. Pius X / St. Leo School to other parents. The education is excellent, and the community of support the school provides for both students and families is something truly special.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found SPSL for our children. Two of our children have already graduated, and we continue to be grateful for the warm, inclusive environment that has supported all four of our kids. The community is truly special-connected, caring, and always focused on what's best for every student. Academically, our children have been well prepared for their next steps. We are so thankful for the strong foundation SPSL continues to provide.

I really love this school. I have a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old. In first grade we transferred our oldest son into SPSL. My oldest son has Dyslexia, and this school was amazing for my son. The teachers and support staff were amazing. My son thrived!!! He learned strategies and study skills to help him with his dyslexia. He now is a student at Prep and utilizing his study skills he learned at SPSL. He also has great grades at Prep due to his SPSL teachers. My youngest is a 7th grader at SPSL and is thriving. The teachers and administration at SPSL are amazing. The atmosphere is a team atmosphere, and it is warm, happy, and they make learning fun. I highly recommend this school.

We chose to send our two boys to SPSL from Pre-K to 8th and could not be happier with the decision. It was an excellent investment all around! As non-Catholics, we were unsure if SPSL would be a good fit but finding a challenging academic program with a focus on diversity and service to others was important in our decision. We toured five other schools in the Midtown area. We immediately felt welcome and comfortable in the culture of SPSL. They say "Everyone is Welcome!" and you can feel the sincerity in halls and classrooms.

I have had two children attend SPSL and have never regretted that decision. It prepares children for a rigorous college preparatory high school curriculum and does so in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. In addition to strong academics, I`ve been especially impressed with their commitment to inclusivity and diversity. All are welcome! The community at SPSL is second to none. I would highly recommend SPSL to other families!
