About St. Patrick School

A United Catholic Community Rooted in Faith

St. Patrick School is a vibrant Catholic community where students grow spiritually, academically, and socially in a nurturing environment. Located in Washington, Illinois, we serve families seeking a Christ-centered education that fosters integrity, service, and lifelong learning.

Since our founding, St. Patrick School has partnered with parents to provide a strong foundation in both academics and faith. We are proud to be part of the Catholic Diocese of Peoria, and we follow a curriculum that aligns with both diocesan standards and national academic benchmarks.

Faith in Action

Faith is woven into every school day through daily prayer, weekly Mass, and age-appropriate faith formation. Students also participate in service projects that help them live out Gospel values.

Whole-Child Development

We believe education extends beyond the classroom. Students have opportunities to grow through not only athletics, but other extracurricular activities that offer leadership and team building roles.
