Saint Michael School

What Saint Michael School does

Saint Michael School is a private Catholic K-8 school operating continuously since 1950 as an extension of Saint Michael Parish under the oversight of the Archdiocese of Boston. Located at 80 Maple Avenue in North Andover, Massachusetts, the school serves approximately 500 students from Nursery (age 3) through Grade 8, drawing enrollment from roughly 20 towns across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The institution is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and led by Principal Susan Gosselin.

The educational product spans three tiers — early childhood (Nursery, Pre-K, Kindergarten), elementary (Grades 1-4), and upper school (Grades 5-8) — plus an Extended Day Care auxiliary service and a specialized STEM program directed by Mrs. Bryant. Curriculum integrates Catholic religion instruction with core academics (Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science), Spanish, fine arts, physical education, and technology. Technology infrastructure is built on Google Workspace for Education (Google Classroom, Gmail, Chromebooks with 1:1 device access in Upper School and iPads in early childhood), supplemented by the RenWeb/FACTS student information and tuition billing system, and Zoom for remote learning. The graduate outcomes emphasize placement into selective Catholic and independent high schools (Austin Preparatory, Boston College High School, Brooks School, The Governor's Academy, Central Catholic, etc.).

The business model is tuition-based (annual billing cadence, subscription-equivalent recurring revenue), with a one-time $300 non-refundable registration fee per accepted student, financial aid administered through FACTS, and supplementary revenue from the Annual Fund donation campaign, dedicated scholarship aid donations, and a hot lunch program operated by third-party vendor Just Like Home. The school is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; ownership is ecclesiastical via the parish and Archdiocese of Boston, with no venture capital, private equity, or public shareholders. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct admissions, year-round online applications, open houses, virtual tours, and word-of-mouth referrals from current and alumni families.
