St. Michael School was organized in the 1870’s, 19 years after the founding of the parish. In 1908, the Sisters of Notre Dame were asked to staff the school. Today, the educational program at St. Michael is the result of a cooperative effort between our lay faculty and the Sisters of Notre Dame.
In 1997, to accommodate growing enrollment, St. Michael School and St. Basil the Great Parish developed a partnership that allows our younger students to be taught at the Education Center at St. Basil in Brecksville. This Early Childhood Learning Center is now home to the St. Michael Preschool, Jr. Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade.
St. Michael School draws children from the Independence, Brecksville-Broadview Heights, and Seven Hills-Parma school districts, as well as other neighboring communities. Busing arrangements with most districts make it possible for children to attend St. Michael School.
