School Reviews

I didn't know my kids would be this engaged in school. The teachers are awesome; it feels like a family.
5 8/29/2019
This school is a back to basics modern and diverse Catholic school. A refuge from the insanity of public education.
5 5/17/2016
I can't say enough about Matignon High School. My children (twins) had a hard time in a public middle school and after looking at different private schools for high school they both picked Matignon. They said is was an easy decision because when they shadowed there "it was like we had been going there already. People treated us like we were students there and everyone was friendly." They were behind a bit when they started but the teachers have been great getting them caught up to where they need to be! They are now sophomores and are doing very well. They love their school and are proud to go there. I can't speak highly enough about the faculty, the Principal and Vice Principal. As Christians is was important we found a school who shares our values and beliefs... I did not want God shut out when the school doors closed! I consider myself lucky to have found this school! To see my kids happy and doing well means the world to me and my husband

Matignon is my second family. I received a lot of support from Matignon faculty and staffs.
