Report
We are finishing our first year at St. Matthew's Catholic School here in Kalispell. We are so impressed with the quality of faith-based education our son receives, and the caliber of his teachers. This is a top school in the valley, and we couldn't be more proud of the young person our son is becoming. If you are looking for a school-family, that feels like a true community, I would recommend sending your children here. It's really the best.
