Rating 4.65 out of 5 54 reviews
Our son currently attends St. Sebastian's School. We couldn't be happier and hope to send our second son as soon as he's old enough. What we love most about Sebs is that the school teaches the boys lifelong skills such as public speaking and writing. It is not just an academic powerhouse, as some similar institutions are. St. Sebastian's teaches the whole person and encourages students to reach their greatest potential across all aspects of life. Since it is a Catholic institution, the school does an excellent job with instilling a sense of community and a responsibility for giving back.
We feel very fortunate to be part of the St. Sebastian's community. As the saying goes "once in, never out" and we feel this is a true statement for our family as St. Sebastian's and the community at large has entered our life permanently. We personally feel there is no better choice for our boys. The academic rigor, the school spirit and camaraderie, the faculty engagement cannot be beat.

Sebs is a great institution with handsome men. I am so lucky to have graduated from such an amazing place. Love those Adam’s and Ix’s!
I graduated from St. Sebs in 2023 and cannot speak more highly of an institution. The school acted as a second home for me and many of my classmates. We would arrive before the doors opened and wouldn't leave until very late in the night. The school thrives at helping students gain the most out of their time by encouraging them to explore their passions and new pursuits. I, like many of my classmates, played multiple sports -all of which I picked up in highschool- participated in or led clubs, created new clubs, and created deep friendships with my teachers. St. Sebs is held in deep regard in my heart, and I can not more highly recommend it.
