We've been at St. A's for 8 years and all 4 of our kids will graduate 8th grade there. We moved to Evanston from out of state and were immediately welcomed by the community. The educational experience has proven to be rigorous in preparing our kids for success in high school. It's also cultivated their love for art and athletics. The school has been one of the main reasons we love Evanston so much.

St. Athanasius is a special place that made me feel at home right away. Our teachers are wonderful, many going above and beyond to make this school a special place to learn.

I can not say enough good things about St. A's. We have been a family at St. A's for 9 years with many years still in front of us. Our son graduated 8th-grade last year and we have a 6th grader and 1st grader. The experience we have had with the administration, the teachers, and the resource team has been incredible. My son left prepared for high school and my other kids love school and feel very loved and supported. The community is special too. We are there for each other and I always know I can reach out to other parents in the community if I need anything. If you are looking for an engaged community and caring teachers, look no further.

The teachers and staff care about each child and their success, helping each child realize their potential. The learning environment is supportive and they have thrived in the smaller classroom sizes. Our children have grown not just academically, but have also shown tremendous personal growth. Chil...
