  • St. Pat's: Springfield's Mission School

    Why do you call St. Pat’s a “micro-school?”

    In comparison to other schools, we are intentionally small with “right-sized” classes. The average classroom in K-5 has eight students. Families love the individual attention each student gets and teachers love building close relationships with students and their families. Parent-Teacher Partnership is a hallmark of our school culture: regular and proactive communication with parents and teachers.


    What do you mean that St. Pat’s is a diocesan school as opposed to a parish school?

    St. Pat’s is a diocesan school and is proud of that identity and its relationships with other Springfield Catholic schools. We have a scholarship program for young alumni to continue their Catholic education at Little Flower School, and we have several alumni currently at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School. Without a parish to support us, our mission continues financially because of our community of donors who believe in our work of affordable Christian education serving a majority non-Catholic Black and Bi-racial families.
