St. Matthew's Catholic School is committed to empowering leaders one faith-filled day at a time. We are a diverse and all-inclusive school with a student body of between 460 - 525 students in preschool through 8th grade. Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to provide 20 % off our student body with some form of a scholarship. We implemented the Discovery Program at St. Matthew's to serve students with exceptional needs that require supplemental service and accommodations in the classroom. We use the methods designed by the National Institute for Learning Development. This is a program consisting of individual Educational Therapy, which allows SMS to make Catholic education possible for students with diverse learning needs and learning difficulties. These children have an average to superior intelligence but struggle in the regular classroom due to many reasons such as: perception, processing speed, working memory, and fluency. The goal of our program is to move the student toward independence and success in the regular classroom and to realize his/her God-given abilities.
