St. Aloysius School, New Canaan | Diocese of Bridgeport Catholic Schools

Thank you for considering our school for your child. At St. Aloysius School, we are a community rooted in Catholic teachings and values, devoted to academic excellence and committed to serving others. Everything we do, whether it is in the classroom, in church, on playing fields or during enrichment programs and service projects, reflects back to the principles outlined in our mission statement. Over 65 years ago, our faith-based school was founded and has continued to grow and blossom throughout the decades. We challenge our students with an academically rigorous curriculum, STEAM initiatives, enrichment opportunities, student leadership, and above all, a deep understanding of Catholic values and practices. St. Aloysius School offers a safe and nurturing learning environment for grades K-8, allowing students to thrive through a holistic approach to education that impacts the whole child. Our K-8 school has graduated students who are amply prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond. Attending competitive high schools, our students rank among the best. Ultimately, it is our goal for our students to become life-long learners and engaged world citizens who demonstrate integrity, respect and responsibility in all that they do. St. Aloysius School will be located in North Stamford until the completion of a newly constructed building at the original campus in downtown New Canaan.

"What our family loves about St. Aloysius School is that the faculty, staff, and priests at St. Aloysius are committed to the students. They foster a safe, caring, and respectful environment that is felt the moment you walk into the school. With our children’s busy schedules and their spending more and more time away from home, our family truly values the daily religious instruction they receive at St. Aloysius, and we take pride in watching them develop strong morals and values. We have found this school to be a wonderful collaboration of caring families who share the same Catholic Faith and who support one another." -Lauren, Current Parent

"I have attended St. A's since Kindergarten and I will be graduating 8th grade in June. Even prior to starting St. A's I was very familiar with the School because my sisters who are 4 years older than I am also attended the School. St. A's has been my home away from home for most of my life. St. A's teaches us trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship and caring. As 8th graders, my classmates and I are given leadership responsibility for leading morning announcements, daily prayers and whatever else the School needs. St. A's School family is a wonderful community I am lucky to be a part of." -Lilly, St Aloysius School Class of 2023

"My life at St. Aloysius School is measured in shared story times, and lively math moments. It's building a corral for our pet worms on the playground and teaming up with the third grade for football. It's our First Grade classroom statue of the Blessed Mother, always forgiving. It's families who make me want to say, with a smile, I taught every one of their children. In short, it's my 24th year, teaching here. Lucky, lucky me." -Mr. Mahony, St. Aloysius School First Grade Teacher
