We love St Catherine Laboure! Such a wonderful school, a great close-knit community of families, and a staff that is second to none!

We love SCL! I personally went to public school, and never had intentions of sending my kids to private school. We enrolled my oldest at SCL for kindergarten because we needed a full day option. I had every intention of it being just for a year. However, the growth and experience that he had in just that one year was enough to change my mind. We not only kept him there, but enrolled our other son in their preschool. The staff are wonderful and truly care for the students. Our appreciation for the education and community that is not only provided but actively fostered at SCL has grown tremendously over the last 4 years.

My child attended part time in the 3 and 4 year old preschool classes and was ready do go for Kindergarten knowing letters and numbers. I love that they offer even the youngest students Art, Music, Spanish, and Gym. The teachers are fabulous and it's a great, welcoming community to be a part of. We love SCL!

I attended St. Catherine Laboure and now my son is also attending here. It's a great school! St. Catherine Laboure is our home, and it always will be. The teachers here are amazing as well as the staff. The academic program here is amazing and they really do a great job preparing you for high school. If you're looking for a great catholic school, look no further. I highly recommend you stop in for a tour.

My first child just graduated from this school this year. She's been here since she was three years old. Sending her to this school was one of the best decisions of my life. 10/10

SCL is a wonderful school. My kids are thriving here. We switched from another school and the positive contrast was welcomed and noted on so many levels. Not only is it strong from an academic and faith perspective, but all students feel seen and heard here. The principal is simply wonderful and a true testament of what quality leadership is. She along with her staff create and uphold a core sense of values that resonate throughout the community. The teachers are seasoned and of high quality. They work as a team so your child will not get lost in the shuffle as it sometimes can happen in larger schools with a lack in close oversight.

A terrific school. I really appreciate the teachers and staff at SCL. They have made learning fun for our daughter and she has grown so much during her time at SCL in her studies and in her knowledge of the Catholic faith. I attended and graduated for SCL when I was growing up. The school was great back then but is even better now. There is a stronger importance placed on academics and it is nice to see the impact that is having on my daughter.

My child transferred to St. Catherine's in junior high. She wasn't being challenged enough at Attea and she wanted to hang out after school. She is now learning how to study and is challenged. They have tests, homework, and test prep. She is really being prepared for high school. The classroom was welcoming. The school community is friendly. She has made really good friends. The students are age appropriate. She is really flourishing academically and socially.

SCL is an amazing school. A secret of Glenview, and such a welcoming and kind community. I went to SCL along with my 4 siblings when I was little, and now my children go there. They love it! The staff is amazing and the parents are too! They have something for everyone - ages 3+ - check it out!

Best school for my daughter. She started from PreK 3 and now Prek 4. My daughter is so happy and she always loves to get up really early just to be in school. She loves the teachers and the staff. She can’t stop talking about her friends and how they play with them. The Teaching is an AAA+ to me. My Little One learned so quickly from reading, doing Arts, being creative, writing and so much more. I am so thankful for all the teachers and staff of SCL for doing a great job.

Our experience at SCL has been amazing! My children have been there since Pre-3 and are now in 4th and 6th grade. SCL's curriculum is challenging, the staff is accommodating and helpful, and our overall experience has been astounding. I would recommend SCL to anyone who values education and feels a need for a school to support the social-emotional needs of their student(s).
