Choosing the best private elementary school in Mason, Ohio means finding a place where your child is not only taught—but truly formed. Families at Royalmont Academy often describe the school as more than just an educational institution. It’s a second home—one where faith, character, and academics work together to shape the whole child.

What Makes a Great Elementary School?

Families in Mason searching for the right private school often prioritize:

• Small class sizes and personal attention

• Strong academics that challenge without overwhelming

• Faith-based formation that goes beyond the classroom

• Safe and secure campus

• A loving, disciplined environment where children thrive

At Royalmont Academy, we not only meet these expectations—we exceed them.

Teachers Who Know and Love Every Child

Our elementary school classes are intentionally small, with no more than 22 students in K–3 and 24 in Grade 4. This allows our highly experienced teachers to tailor instruction, build real relationships, and walk with students through their formative years.

“The teachers are so sweet,” said second grader Saanvi Martin. “Math isn’t supposed to be fun, but here it is! I actually want to go to school on Saturday and Sunday!”

That kind of joy and enthusiasm doesn’t come from worksheets. It comes from teachers who love their work and see teaching as a mission.

“Our teacher helps us when we’re having trouble,” said Tilly, another elementary student. “We all love our teachers. We all love to help and share with them.”

Academic Excellence with a Personal Touch

Royalmont’s elementary students consistently show strong growth in core subjects like reading and math. We use research-based tools like i-Ready to track progress and tailor lessons to individual needs.

But what makes our academics stand out is the way they’re delivered—with joy, virtue, and creativity. Every elementary grade completes an end-of-year capstone project that ties together their key learning from the year and invites students to showcase it to their peers and parents.

Third grade presents the Wax Museum, where students research a saint or historical figure and deliver a costumed performance. Upper grades participate in our Walk Through History projects, combining academic learning with public speaking, creativity, and deeper understanding.

“In math class, we often work in groups,” said fifth grader Oliver Nieport. “Each person answers different questions so we can finish and get a grade as a team.”

Faith at the Center of It All

At Royalmont, Catholic faith isn’t a subject—it’s a way of life. Students pray daily, attend weekly Mass, and learn to speak about their faith with confidence and reverence.

“Royalmont strengthens our faith by holding Mass every Friday,” shared Gemma, a third-grade student. “If Royalmont weren’t a Catholic school, I don’t think I would be as strong in my faith.”

Even our youngest students participate in the rosary, chapel visits, and adoration. Teachers model the virtues they teach, and students are formed in humility, patience, and joy from their earliest years.

“We care about our faith and spiritual life,” said Tilly. “Adoration helps us to communicate with God, Jesus, Mary, and the saints.”

Our elementary school lays the foundation for later experiences like the Maria Stein pilgrimage in junior high and the 8th Grade trip to Washington, D.C., all of which deepen students’ spiritual lives and foster a sense of mission.

Tradition Builds Community

What truly makes Royalmont shine is the sense of tradition and joy that unites the community. Students across the school eagerly anticipate Olympic Day, our beloved end-of-year celebration of teamwork, fun, and perseverance.

“Some of the games on Olympic Day were hard,” said Danielle, a second grader, “but I tried my best. I didn’t give up. We all cheered for one another.”

Whether they’re dressing up as saints, competing in field day games, or presenting their capstone projects, Royalmont students experience a school year full of meaning—and memories that last.

A Community That Feels Like Family

Royalmont is a place where every student is known by name—and not just by their teacher. Our small, joyful campus creates a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Students support one another, celebrate one another’s growth, and develop friendships grounded in faith and respect.

“We all have differences, and Royalmont says that’s okay,” said Tilly. “We love and care.”

These are more than just good memories—they’re formative experiences that shape students into Christian leaders.
