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.

We are committed to continuing that mission through an ongoing student scholarship program. This initiative will provide financial assistance to help our students interested in continuing their Catholic education in another Springfield Catholic school, ensuring that the values and faith formation central to St. Pat’s endures for years to come.More details to come!
