WILL TOMORROW’S LEADERS COME FROM VIRGINIA BEACH?

We think so. And we believe God is calling us to prepare them to Learn to Lead.

Saint Matthews has been a mainstay of Catholic education in Virginia Beach since 1963. Our rigorous academic curriculum, paired with discipline, tradition, and Christian values prepares children for their academic future and as citizens.

Our curriculum integrates faith, culture, and life and employs a variety of learning approaches to prepare students for the world once they graduate. We believe that children are the best investment you can make. In return, you have a child prepared to learn and lead in the future.

We need your help to prepare a new generation of students to

LEARN TO LEAD.

Over the past 50 years, SMS has invested in giving your children the best education possible. Even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have invested in security, technology, and energy efficient modifications. Our students enjoy a large library and media center with state of the art technology using Smart Boards, computers, and Internet connectivity.

 $1 MILLION FOR FINANCIAL AID

ENSURING DESERVING CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO A CATHOLIC EDUCATION

Through our Financial Aid Assistance Fund, we plan to raise $200,000 each year over the next five years to aid families from our community with the cost of tuition. Mainly, we aim to do this through the Education Improvement Scholarships Tax Credits Program (EISTC) and other scholarship gifts. By donating through the EISTC Program, donors will receive 65% of their donation in a Virginia state tax credit.

 CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS AND DEBT REDUCTION

STRENGTHENING OUR FOUNDATION FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS

There are various improvement projects needed around the school, such as replacing the old Preschool playground, making security enhancements, increasing teacher pay, and maintaining our school buildings. Additionally, as part of this critical effort, we want to reduce the school’s debt from previous improvements, enhancements, and maintenance completed over the last several years.
