The New Face of St. Paul's Academy


St. Paul’s Academy has a new website! Like a New Year's resolution, we wanted to shape up and improve our (public) figure.

Our new, refreshed site is a much better representation of who we are. Our goal is to not only make it easier for parents to access important information, but to also reach those outside of our school community.

We know that the first thing people do when they want to know about something is “Google it.” We want those new to our school to get a great first impression. There are so many ways St. Paul’s Academy is set apart and advanced in comparison to other schools (see the "Distinctive Attributes" section). We should be broadcasting all of these wonderful qualities. Thanks to our new website our public image is now more like our school (friendly and engaging).

If you have not yet checked out our new website, please click here: http://stpaul.academy/

If you know someone who may be interested in our school please don't hesitate to send them to our website!

Sounds of the Season


Our school is like a local radio station…. when Dec. 1st hits, the music all changes to everyone’s favorite, Christmas songs! I have worked in many schools that prohibit the playing of holiday songs and hold their seasonal concert in November. Not at St. Paul’s. Here we celebrate the sounds of the season!


Visitors, parents, and students are greeted when they walk into our building by Ms. Sue Ann’s Christmas play list. Students are belting out classic hymns throughout the school preparing for their Christmas concerts (3rd -5th grade is Dec. 15th). Our K-2nd grade will also be singing, and acting during their Nativity performance on December 17th.


While we are having lots of performances happening internally we also have been spreading cheer out into the community. Today, many 4th graders joined the Middle School to perform to the crowd at the Port of Bellingham Holiday Festival. Our 1st graders will be visiting the Woodway Inn on Dec. 10th to sing to the residents there.


When December comes we all feel the spirit of Christmas and want to show it through song. It is one of my favorite things about working at St. Paul’s.
