Why choose St. Brendan School as your child's educational foundation?

St. Brendan School welcomes boys and girls and their families of all denominations into our Catholic Community, which is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Students whose families are communicants of the parish, or who currently have children enrolled on the school will be given priority for placement. Those from other parishes will be admitted as space becomes available.  The basis for all curricula in the school is directed at mastery of skills and attainment of competence through student learning that is cooperative as well as independent. Focus in all content areas is placed on reading, writing, math, critical thinking, problem solving, and foundational skills that are fundamental and essential in developing each student's ability to achieve at his or her highest potential.
