“St. Michael's has had a tremendous in uence on my growth as a student, leader, and, most importantly, as a Catholic. Were it not for my teachers, coaches, and classmates who encouraged me to exemplify faith, character, and service, I certainly would not be in the position I am in today. I am truly indebted to St. Michael's for being a second home throughout my four years.”
Elisabeth Grassby Stefan & Michael Stefan, parents of Riley ’21 University of Toronto, Arts and Media Management
“ e six years I spent at SMCS helped teach me fundamental skills that were necessary to succeed in my post-secondary studies. I learned time management, professional decorum, and studying techniques which I continue to develop even during my medical school training. I found that my SMCS brothers and I were well-prepared for university life and had easier transitional years than classmates outside the St Mike’s community.”

“We sent Riley to St. Michael’s College School with the hope that he would learn to become a ‘Man for Others’. We believe the experience and teachings he received there helped shape his character. Sending him to SMCS was one of the best decisions we ever made for him. He has grown into a hard-working, compassionate, passionate person. He has developed a strong work ethic and made life-long iends. We will forever be grateful for SMCS.”
“St. Michael’s College School is where your son will grow and succeed. From Grade 7 to Grade 12, we watched our son on an academic journey which continually stretched his thinking and abilities. e experience, network, and camaraderie gained is unparalleled to any other boys school in the world. We are so proud of his accomplishments and becoming such a ne young man om St. Michael’s College School.”
“My six years at St. Mike’s exposed me to countless character-building opportunities that no doubt shaped me into the man I am today. I am very appreciative of the stellar education I received in the classroom that provided me with the tools and experiences necessary to succeed in university in an academic sense. Moreover, I will never forget my experiences outside the classroom, whether that was donning the Double Blue to compete on the lacrosse eld or the ice, travelling to perform in big band concerts, or working to execute a successful student-government campaign.”
