Parent and Former Student Tell What Is Special About St. Clare of Montefalco Catholic School

     "I just graduated from the Lyman Briggs College of Michigan State University, with a major in astrophysics, and I have been admitted to Wayne State Medical School.  What I liked best about St. Clare was the intimacy of the relationships between the students and teachers.  St. Clare staff members truly care about their students, and work to really know and bring out the best in each child.  This dedication is evident both in the classroom and in the numerous extracurricular academic opportunities at St. Clare.  I still speak with many of my former teachers to this day, they always ask how I am doing and I can tell their interest is sincere."
Ryan Thomas of Grosse Pointe Park
Age 22, St. Clare Class of 1999

      "Ryan is the oldest of four sons.  Kevin, age 20, is a junior at Michigan State University, majoring in business.  Patrick will be an 8th grader at St. Clare for 2007-2008, and the youngest, Matthew, will be in 6th grade at St. Clare in the fall.  All four of my sons have benefited from St. Clare School’s solid academic program, constant focus on character development and community service, and numerous extra-curricular activities including forensics, choir, National Junior Honor Society, Midwest Talent Search, Future Problem Solving, and drama.  There is no question that their experience at St. Clare School has helped my sons develop into fine and successful young men with bright futures."
Michelle Thomas
Grosse Pointe Park

     "I think that St. Clare of Montefalco School provided me with an invaluable educational experience. It's highly personalized education style and small classroom sizes helped me to develop comprehension skills applicable to all aspects of my life. This has also proved invaluable to my college experience. Now as an Art major at Oakland University, I hold academic honors and a GPA of 4.0 which I attribute highly to the education I received at St. Clare School. It has given me a step above the rest and allowed me to excel in ways which would have otherwise been impossible."
Rachel Thomas
Class of 2002

  "I have been involved in Catholic education for over forty years, so when I say the following I can speak with some experience.  Over the past two years--on an almost daily basis--it has been truly a privilege for me to work with the staff and the students of St. Clare of Montefalco Catholic School.  Today, with so much talk about "value based education,"  SCM not only talks, this school continues to produce genuine positive results.  This has been my consistent observation during my time here, and I leave with that conviction.  Our faith in Jesus Christ permeates this school; and that, combined with consistently high academic standards produces results of the first class.  A committed staff, happy students, and a truly supportive overall environment--you won't find a better combination than right here at our school.  Without question, our children are our greatest hope for the future.  St. Clare of Montefalco is here to provide the best for them.  And, as they say, you can take that to the bank!   Thank you, SCM, for two wonderful years.   
Sincerely in Christ, 
Brother Paul, O.S.A."
