Why did you choose a #CatholicSchool? @SchoolMatthias parent, Angie McKinney tells the @chicagotribune: The Catholic school experience really resonates with me, and the sense of community is like a family, and so tightly knit.

Congrats to #SchoolHero Katie Carden from @SchoolMatthias. Families appreciate her commitment to high standards & optimistic attitude. “In the face of one of the worst pandemics in recent history, she has managed to keep our wall-to-wall IB school going strong,” a parent.

@SchoolMatthias is the only Catholic IB PK-8th grade school in IL. We aim to develop our learners in a variety of ways...one of them is to be open-minded. Our Kindergarten teacher shows us firsthand how to be open-minded when reading a story so that all can see! @archchicago

Today @SchoolMatthias 5th graders went to Mass. Rather than having an All-School Mass, classrooms will have the opportunity to attend Mass and pray with their classmates. 🙏🏻💒#archdioceseofchicago #bigshouldersfund

As @SchoolMatthias begins the 2nd week of school, students receive Spanish instruction within their classrooms. Our Spanish curriculum involves vocabulary and grammar skill development, fluency exercises and cultural awareness. #archdioceseofchicago #bigshouldersfund

Comforting words for young students from Ms. Welch. Even though we are not at school right now, we are all still a part of our school!

Where would we be without these three? They help keep our school running every day. They know what our parents, students, and staff need and often fix our problems before we even knew we had them! Thank you, Lee, Mary and Eladia!
Love, your SMS family
