Located in the heart of Dilworth in Charlotte, NC, St. Patrick School is a fully accredited, co-ed, Pre-K through 5th grade Catholic School that welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds.

As the oldest Catholic school in Charlotte, our traditions and values ground us, while our mission propels us forward, ensuring every graduate leaves ready to lead with faith and purpose.

Our Mission

To proclaim the Good News of the Gospel and to develop each student spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially to live in a changing society.

Our mission is not a statement on a wall. It is the lens through which every teacher plans a lesson, every administrator makes a decision, and every family chooses to be a part of this community. Our goal is to develop every dimension of a child during their time here. 

Faith in Learning

Our atmosphere of Faith in Learning means our students feel safe to ask questions, try new skills, and persevere in their learning. They receive the building blocks of faith so they can begin to develop the strong moral compass and sense of self necessary to help them become confident learners. 

At St. Patrick, curiosity is welcomed, struggle is honored, and growth, both in the classroom and in faith, is always the goal.
