Philosophy of St. Mary’s School

St. Mary’s School assumes the responsibility of the mission given to Catholic Schools by the Church; to teach, to build community, and to bear witness to the Good News.  St. Mary’s attempts to inspire in students a desire to live a Christian life.  St. Mary’s tries to equip each student with the skills, beliefs and values necessary for living a Christian life in contemporary society.  Therefore, St. Mary’s is dedicated to both high quality education and thorough instruction in the practice and doctrine of the Catholic Church.  St. Mary’s School works in collaboration with the parents, presuming their partnership and support.
