St. Zachary Catholic School

“Our STRENGTHS set us apart…”

What People Are Saying…
“Catholic Education is, above all, a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others. The cause of Catholic Education is the cause of Jesus Christ and of His Gospel at the service of man.”
Pope John Paul II

“The Church conducts school because Jesus was a teacher. He revealed to us what is really important to us in this life and the next…… Catholic schools are essential to the educational mission of the Church. They provide an environment, along with family, in which the faith is not only taught but lived.”
Francis Cardinal George, OMI, Archbishop of Chicago

“We have made the choice of a St. Zachary Catholic School education for our children because we wish to instill in them the fundamentals of our Catholic faith, to learn and grow in an environment that emphasizes religion along with discipline and academic excellence. One of the best gifts we can give to our children is the opportunity to grow intellectually while simultaneously growing spiritually, and, St. Zachary Catholic School provides that opportunity. As students at St. Zachary, our children will learn the values and morals necessary to guide them throughout their lives.”
Joe and Angela Ziccardi

“We have made the choice of a St. Zachary Catholic School education for our children because it provides a daily example for the importance of faith and prayer in a greater community setting. St. Zachary allows our child to live out the faith, grow in faith daily, and be proud of what our family and the greater community freely believes in. Most important, St. Zachary supports the “why” of our traditions from why we pray the Rosary, to why is St. Francis of Assisi an important saint, to why in Ephesians 4:29 does it say, “ let only good words come out of our mouths.” Our son, through his “so far” 3 month kindergarten experience has brought to our family new prayers that he has shared with us, has reminded us to “walk with Jesus”, and has quoted Ephesians. St. Zachary, for our family, is a unique and impeccably wrapped box that with its beautifully strong bow, has tied our lives with the lives of others who share the Gift of our Catholic Faith.”

“We thought the kind of education for our children’s formative years is critical in establishing a good foundation for their future characters. We wanted to include teaching of spirituality and good moral values. Not only has St. Zachary School met our expectations but we also have a school with high academic standards and results. Our three children have distinct personalities but they are all thriving under St. Zachary School’s nurturing environment.”
