We have been really happy with the decision to send our son to St. Procopius. The dual language approach is the key driver. In addition, the teachers and the principal show genuine care for the children and go above and beyond to help them thrive. There is an authentic sense of community fueled by parent engagement. We have had a great experience so far and plan to send our younger son to St. Procopius as well once he comes of age.

We transferred from another school because we heavily prioritize our children learning a second language. To date, I can proudly say that my kids have a strong foundation in the Spanish language and text. They will only get better the more they are immersed in the language by the school and us.

We feel that our children are supported by caring teachers at this school. If we have questions or concerns we can bring them to school administration. Additionally the Parents Committee is dedicated to help making the school and children's experience a great one.

An amazing dual-language Catholic school, the only Catholic dual language school in all the Archdiocese of Chicago! The children are immersed in Spanish all day long and when they graduate they are fluent in both English and Spanish. Our daughters entered preschool and kindergarten and we are blown away with how much their Spanish has improved, especially in accents in only a few months. I see and hear older students presenting in Spanish and cannot wait for my children to be that fluent in a few years! The teachers and administrators are very supportive and always available to meet. It is a hidden gem in Pilsen and Chicago!

My wife and I have two children at the school and we are very pleased with the experience. Each year our kids really look forward to the start of the school year, which says a lot. It has been a happy place for our kids to learn two languages. The teachers are very committed.

My son is in his second year at St. Procopius in the Pre-K program. He had no exposure to Spanish prior to attending, and has done very well in this dual language program. We have been very happy with his teachers and the quality of his education. There is a sense of community and common purpose among staff and families. The building is old and has great character; the hallways are colorful and beautifully decorated with student artwork and projects. The new principal has great energy and is very open and accessible. We are very happy with our decision to send our son to St. Procopius.
