My sons have greatly benefitted from their years at Priory. Caring teachers, great academics, involvement by all students in the athletic programs,.....A+

The school is old fashioned with the teacher lecturing, and students taking notes with paper and pencils, and no electronic tablets or computers. The school lacks good leadership and knowledge of the growing adolescent. Arrogance is apparent. Communication lacks between teachers. Priory fits for the intelligent child who fits in the "box". St. Louis offers more exciting learning environments for the intelligent child, in the box or out of the box.

This is a wonderful school that comes with my highest recommendation. As an alumnus, it took some time for me to truly appreciate the value of the excellent education and the truly well-rounded upbringing that Priory gave me. The rigorous academics, challenging sports, and encouragement to succeed were the best and most useful tools throughout my college career and afterwards. Everyday I am reminded where I came from and how my time spent at St Louis Priory has helped me succeed thus far. Laus Tibi Domine

I have attended this amazing high school for 6 years, and it has prepared me extremely well for almost every college out there. The education there, I daresay, is one of the most challenging in the St. Louis area. In addition, its great sense of a community has kept me close to all my classmates

As an alumnus and father of two alumni, my sons and I share the same bond with fellow alums, the monks and lay faculty. The academics were extremely challenging, but the pressure was also made better by the constant faculty encouragement and motivation. I would certainly find it to be a more comfortable environment for a Catholic family. The sports program is excellent with virtually all new soccer fields and football stadium. It is an expensive school with very adequate financial aid. The weakest link for years had been in the area of Fine Arts, but this was remedied my the Kevin Kline theatre and a strong fine arts program today. The school is not for everyone, and for those not desiring a rigorous academic program ensuring college success..Priory may NOT be the place as indicated subtly by the two bitter reviews mentioned before.

Priory is an outstanding school! I have had ten years of experience with son's in the school and am getting ready to send another son there in the fall. Alot is expected of the boys academically, socially, and athletically as well. They have the most well-rounded, respectful group of students I have ever come across. Priory regulary has 35%-45% of the graduating class receiving National Merit recognition and well as some of the highest SAT and ACT scores in the area. It is a wonderful community at Priory. The school is deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, but with their strong academics they attact and accept students of all faiths. Amazing School!
