St. Clements Parish School

What St. Clements Parish School does

St. Clement's Parish School is a private, nonprofit Christian school founded in 1958 as a mission of the Church of St. Clement, operating on a single campus at 600 Montana Avenue in El Paso, Texas. It serves approximately 350 students from early childhood (three-year-olds) through eighth grade, organized into three divisions: Early Childhood, Lower School (Grades 1-4), and Middle School (Grades 5-8). The school is the only institution in El Paso accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS), and also holds ACSI and TEPSAC accreditations and a 1996-1997 National Blue Ribbon School designation.

The school's academic program is delivered through a research-informed curriculum with small class sizes, supported by specialist instruction in Spanish, technology, music, visual arts, speech and drama, and physical education. Differentiated sub-programs include a progressive Outdoor Education curriculum (day hikes in first grade through a ten-day backpacking trip in eighth grade across Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado national parks), a structured Athletics program competing in the Southwest Christian Athletic Association, the Kendle Kidd Library with over 10,000 print volumes, and a technology curriculum spanning coding, robotics, digital citizenship, and digital arts. The campus recently expanded with the addition of the Center for Excellence building via the Cornerstone Capital Campaign.

The revenue model is tuition-dominated: tuition covers approximately 88% of yearly operating budget, with tiered annual tuition ranging from $8,200 (Three-Year-Old Program) to $13,980 (Grades 5-8), billed via annual, two-payment, or ten-month subscription plans. Ancillary revenue comes from the Annual Fund (2025-2026 goal of $160,000 with 100% participation target), the Annual Gala, planned giving instruments (bequests, charitable trusts, gift annuities), and endowment income. Admissions is sales-led via the Director of Admission through campus tours, inquiry forms, application review, and parent referral via the Parent Council. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees (President Colby Genrich) with the Head of School (Robin Grambling) administering operations.

Direct peers

• San Antonio Academy: Private boys' K-8 school in San Antonio with a similar college-preparatory mission and enrollment scale. Strong model comparison for a tuition-driven, endowment-supported private K-8 with extensive enrichment programs.
• TMI – The Episcopal School of Texas: Episcopal faith-based private school in San Antonio serving grades 6-12 with similar ISAS/network affiliations. Useful comparator on religious private-school operations, board governance, and tuition structures in the Texas market.
• Loretto Academy: Catholic K-12 school in El Paso operated by the Sisters of Loretto. Comparable faith-based private school in the same city, directly competing for Catholic families seeking college-preparatory instruction.
• Cathedral High School: Catholic private school in El Paso serving secondary grades. Same city and faith-based orientation; feeds some of the same prospective families that St. Clement's middle school targets for high school placement.
• El Paso Country Day School: Private independent K-8 school in El Paso serving a similar premium-priced family segment. Most direct geographic and product overlap with St. Clement's, competing for the same pool of local families seeking non-religious or lesser-religious private instruction.

Broad incumbents

• All Saints' Episcopal School: Larger Episcopal K-12 private school in Fort Worth. Comparable faith-based, college-preparatory private model serving Texas families, but at materially greater scale and broader grade span than St. Clement's.
• Casady School: Independent Episcopal K-12 school in Oklahoma City that is an ISAS member. Comparable mission, accreditation, and curricular breadth (arts, athletics, outdoor, service), but at much larger scale and a different regional market.
• Greenhill School: Large independent (non-religious) K-12 day school in Dallas. Useful benchmark for Texas-wide premium private school positioning, tuition benchmarks, and admission best practices, even though it does not specialize in the religious K-8 niche.
