At St. Michael's, our goal is to develop and nurture the entire child. This involves activities that stretch well beyond the classroom. Every environment - from the playing field to the Library - helps to enrich each student's life.

All of our students participate in a variety of arts and athletic programs, and take part in a variety of community service projects. Our library serves as a core resource, as does our technology program. We even offer a variety of After-School programs, ranging from Extended School Day (ESD) to additional music lessons and enrichment activities.

Through the pages in this section of the website, we welcome you to take a look at just some of the many activities that our students participate in throughout the school year.
