There's a new headmaster this year (2007), he's a very positive influence on everyone (from at least the perspective of this parent!). Graduates go to top universities nationwide, plenty of National Merit Semifinalists and student-athletes. School is one of the most expensive private schools in Mobile, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Some kids live up to 40 miles away but go to SPS because the quality of education is *that* good (God knows, especially compared to the public schools in the area!). Very much a community feel at this school. Parents really reach out to other St. Paul's families. Has a reputation as an "elite" school in Mobile (along with UMS), but not all parents are rich (plenty of us aren't even close to it)--yet all are part of the St. Paul's "family," regardless of socioeconomic level (contrary to what one might believe). New families are welcomed into the St. Paul's family with open arms. SPS families "do" for one another. Yes, blazers are worn for chapel for the older (high school) kids, but it's not daily. (Maybe the dress code has changed since reviewer Julia W. was there?) They don't wear knee-high socks any more, either. Anyway, all Mobile students wear uniforms (in both public and private/parochial schools). Maybe I'm biased, but at least the SPS uniforms look better than the other schools' uniforms! My (much younger) brothers went to school there from elementary school through graduation, and were/are extremely happy with the education they received and the overall experience. As a parent, I give it my highest praise and recommendation!

My son was in K4 last year and we absolutely loved the whole experience of it. His teacher was amazing, the office staff are always so kind and helpful and I love that everyone makes you feel like family. Doing my son's first year of school during Covid was really hard because we didn't get to experience the normal stuff, but KCA did such a great job navigating all of that and keeping the parents up to date. It's so obvious how much they all love and care for their students and their families. I absolutely recommend looking into KCA if you are looking for an elementary or middle school. My youngest is in their daycare and we love them too!

We were going to start our first grader at Mobile Christian this year. She is athletic and received…read morethe highest possible grades for kindergarten. She received a character award from her school and an award for "best demonstrating Christian values" from her previous class. Hours before orientation, the elementary principal, Ms. Curry, called to say that she was rejected. We were stunned. We attend church every Sunday. My father was a deacon and my grandfather was a preacher. I asked if there was a problem with the classes being too full and was told no. I asked why my daughter had been rejected, and Ms. Curry said that she, "couldn't say". When I pressed the issue, she became agitated and cut me off, saying that she wouldn't tell me. I asked who would tell me and was told Headmaster David. When I asked to speak to him, Ms. Curry scoffed and said he was busy and would remain busy and I should, "try leaving a message with the front desk" When we finally managed to get ahold of the headmaster, he was faltering and unable to give a reason, eventually stating that it was "against policy" to say anything. Email attempts have gone completely ignored and attempts to visit in person are always greeted with a cordial, "he's too busy to see you." Ultimately, we believe that we were not the "mold" of aristocracy that Mobile Christian likes to put forth. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Any school that rejects a qualified six year old seeking a Christian education without reason is clearly not as "Christian" as they claim.

Since they were talking about vid and Jesus, I thought that they will keep their words and we didn't need a contract. Unfortunately; the principal moved to Tennessee and his secretary retired the same year. The new school staff could check the bank account and the checks that I gave it to them to justify my claim, but for some reason they never did. I waited until 2023 and they were promising to do it every year. I felt betrayed and disrespected, so I moved my son from that school. Don't trust no one just because they talk about god and Jesus. Always go with the contract, so no one can screw you and your money same as CHCA did with me.
