St.Michael Parish School

What St.Michael Parish School does

St. Michael Parish School is a private Catholic K-8 parish school operating from a single campus at 11136 Oak Street in Sharonville, Ohio. It is owned by the St. Carlo Acutis Family of Parishes and operates under the governance and Graded Course of Study of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. As of October 31, 2025, the school enrolls 413 students drawn from 20 zip codes across the Greater Cincinnati Area covering 16 public school districts. The school offers a comprehensive Catholic education with emphasis on encountering God, discovering belonging, and acting with love, graduating students who proceed to Catholic high schools at a 98% rate.

The academic program is supported by an integrated technology stack anchored on the Google Education platform: junior high students (Grades 6-8) have been assigned Google Chromebooks since August 2018, every classroom is equipped with smart boards and iPads, and a full-service computer lab and library (approximately 6,400 books) round out the instructional infrastructure. Support services include a Speech Pathologist, School Psychologist, Intervention Specialist, Math Specialist, and Reading Specialist, with Title I reading intervention provided through Princeton City School District. Supplemental offerings include an Extended Day Program (after-school care for K-6), cafeteria services operated by St. Albert Nutrition Service (billed via PaySchools), sacramental preparation, enrichment programs (band, art, scouts, D.A.R.E., youth choir), athletics via St. Michael Boosters, and a D.A.R.E. program taught by Sharonville Police.

The business model is a recurring tuition structure ($6,366 per student for the 2026-2027 school year, paid annually, semi-annually, or monthly via Tuition Express) layered with multi-source financial aid. Nearly 95% of students receive tuition support through Ohio EdChoice Traditional and Expansion scholarships (up to $6,166), Archangel Grants (up to $1,800 for active St. Carlo Acutis parishioners), and Catholic Education Foundation grants (via FACTS Grant and Aid). Ancillary revenue streams include a $150 application fee, cafeteria a la carte sales, Extended Day Program fees ($34-$85/week), and donations processed through WeShareGiving. Transportation partnerships with Deer Park, Lakota, and Princeton school districts extend catchment, and visitor management runs on the Raptor system. Enrollment is driven through parish community outreach, website-driven tour scheduling, and on-campus enrollment events. The school has held the U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence designation since 2009.
