Welcome to St. Gerald
Choosing a school is choosing a community for your child.

We'd love to welcome your family. The best way to know if St. Gerald is right for you is to visit. Come take a tour, meet our teachers, and see our students in action.

In Their Words
What St. Gerald families say
Caring teachers, family oriented environment, and my daughter is thriving! Love St. Gerald School!
When we moved to Oak Lawn, we had our sights on St Gerald School for Preschool for our daughter. With it being our first child, we were very nervous and sad to be leaving her as any new parent would be. The teachers changed that for us within the first week. … We saw her excel in the Preschool Program and came out so prepared for Kindergarten.
I cannot say enough positive things about St. Gerald School and the Pre-K 3 class! … Her deeper understanding of God, prayer, and the Catholic faith are shown through her prayers and songs she shares with us at home. … We are blessed to have found such an amazing community in which to raise our children and look forward to many years as part of the St. Gerald’s family.
