It is my pleasure to welcome you to St. Michael’s Academy! We are a dedicated team of educators and staff, joyfully serving preschool through 5th grade students and their families. Each day, we pray that God would help us see our students through His eyes—through a lens of love, grace, and purpose. Our desire is to nurture each child not only academically, but also spiritually, as they grow in the knowledge of who they are in Christ.

Our school days are filled not only with a strong academic curriculum, but also with enriching co-curricular classes, engaging activities, and special events—all designed to help our students learn, grow, and enjoy the journey along the way. From field trips and school assemblies to science fairs, family dances, our beloved Multicultural Festival and so much more, we offer our students not just academic enrichment, but meaningful life experiences that create lasting memories and build strong community.

We believe in partnering with parents throughout their child’s academic journey. There are so many meaningful ways for families to get involved—whether it’s joining the PTO, volunteering during special events, or simply coming into the classroom to read a story. At our school, parents are not just welcomed—they’re an essential part of the community that helps our students thrive.

We also believe in the importance of serving beyond our walls by partnering with our local community. Throughout the year, we support several local charities, and each grade level participates in a service project designed to instill compassion, generosity, and a heart for others. It’s our joy to teach students that their faith is lived out not just in words, but in action.

If you’re already part of our wonderful school family, welcome home! We’re so grateful to have you with us. If you’re searching for a kind, nurturing, and affordable private school for your little one, I want you to hear the very same words: Welcome home!

It is both a privilege and an honor to serve as the principal of this very special school. If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing me at principal@st-michaelsacademy.org or by calling our school office at 540-349-3110. I would be delighted to assist you in any way I can.

Blessings,

Christen Sanderson
Principal
