Feel the difference from the minute you walk through our doors.

St. Paul’s is not just another private school option in Livonia.

 Here, your child will learn all required content—and so much more. They will be encouraged to approach life with a growth mindset and develop solid work habits that prepare them to be productive citizens. They’ll gain the skills needed to thrive in high school, college, and beyond. Most importantly, your child will be surrounded by God’s unconditional love as we guide them each day in His Word.

True Partnership

At St. Paul’s, we don’t just enroll students—we welcome entire families into a Christ-centered community. Our teachers come alongside you in the incredible responsibility of raising your children in the Christian faith.

We cherish the daily connection at drop-off and pick-up, and we’re always happy to meet for a parent-teacher conference or simply chat when needed.

Because we believe it truly “takes a village” to raise children, we intentionally foster friendships among families and offer meaningful opportunities for parents to connect.

St. Paul’s is more than just a school—it’s a supportive, faith-filled family that walks with you every step of the way.

We Support Busy Families

Before & After Care

We understand that many families have demanding schedules. To help, we offer a free morning study hall from 7:15–7:45 a.m. and after-school care (Latchkey) from 3:15–5:30 p.m. for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. The current Latchkey rate is $5.00 per student, per hour.

Daily Hot Lunch

Our school offers a daily hot lunch program for $5.00 per meal. Each meal includes a main entrée, a fruit or vegetable, and a dairy item (such as cheese or yogurt) to support a balanced diet. A monthly menu calendar is provided to families.

Volunteer Opportunities

We love getting parents involved! Volunteers help prepare art projects, serve in the school library, assist with hot lunch, coach teams, and help plan social events. If you have a special talent or interest, please let your child’s teacher or Principal Roth know—there’s a place for everyone to contribute.
