"As an alumnus and father of two alumni, my sons and I share the same bond with fellow alums, the monks and lay faculty. The academics were extremely challenging, but the pressure was also made better by the constant faculty encouragement and motivation. I would certainly find it to be a more comfortable environment for a Catholic family. The sports program is excellent with virtually all new soccer fields and football stadium. It is an expensive school with very adequate financial aid. The weakest link for years had been in the area of Fine Arts, but this was remedied my the Kevin Kline theatre and a strong fine arts program today. The school is not for everyone, and for those not desiring a rigorous academic program ensuring college success..Priory may NOT be the place as indicated subtly by the two bitter reviews mentioned before."

"Priory is an outstanding school! I have had ten years of experience with son's in the school and am getting ready to send another son there in the fall. Alot is expected of the boys academically, socially, and athletically as well. They have the most well-rounded, respectful group of students I have ever come across. Priory regulary has 35%-45% of the graduating class receiving National Merit recognition and well as some of the highest SAT and ACT scores in the area. It is a wonderful community at Priory. The school is deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, but with their strong academics they attact and accept students of all faiths. Amazing School!"

"Students disrespectful!?Class sizes out of contol?! One of the cheaper private schools!?The school is not cheap by any standard, but it is worth the price. These kids are unbelieveably polite. Yes, sir 'mr., Mrs.', this is an off the wall reveiw.These kids kill the SATs and ACTS.The education is intense and the schools acacemic awards in every field of competition is amazing.Priory grads , disproportionately get accepted to the most elite colleges and universities in the country and excell whereever they go.They are also good athletes and many will go play a sport at an Ivy League school , or an elite institution. By any measure, this school produces an amazing group of young men!"

"I cannot express the gratitude that I have for this excellent school. It has prepared my for both the emotional stress and the academic stress of College. I do not know of any one of the young men that I graduated with who would have attended any other high school. The bond that I share with my classmates and teachers will never be broken and I will always feel welcome when visiting. I do agree that it is not for any young boy, but if you are prepared for Priory you will succeed. To the complaints that it it is too 'Catholic' I have one thing to say, I am not a Catholic but I never felt like an outcast in the 6 wonderful years that I spent there. The monks have the utmost respect for all the students."

"Priory, a small, Roman Catholic school in the English Benedictine Congregation, is one of the most rigorous boys' schools in the St. Louis area, let alone Missouri or the country. Although it has a reputation for being a 'tony' school and for being academically tougher than a lot of other schools, for parents who seek to have their sons receive a truly grounded Christian education and for boys who seek a real academic challenge, it is the school to choose."
