Describe your school’s core educational philosophy.
Saint Saviour High School is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school for young women. Rooted in the tradition of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, we challenge our students to achieve the fullest measure of their potential.
A Saint Saviour education prepares its students to be leaders. Through a rigorous academic program, we foster the intellectual development of our students; through religious studies and various service activities we guide our students in their spiritual development and strengthen their awareness of social and moral responsibility.

What do you love about your school?
Saint Saviour High School is a special place; we celebrated our 100th Anniversary in 2017 and we continue to embrace the values of the School Sisters of Notre Dame who taught Saviourites over the years. Our students are bright young women who are focused on their futures; a Saint Saviour education gives our students a good base to further their education in college and beyond. When you walk in our building, it feels like home. Our students return—some 60 or 70 years out—and are transported back to being young women in their uniforms.
