Saint Mary's Catholic School
Mission Saint Mary Catholic School exists to provide an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom and knowledge in a challenging academic environment formed by Catholic tradition. Vision Saint Mary Catholic School is committed to the application of Christ’s teaching by instilling the value of service to others while providing our students with the necessary skills to further their educational pursuits. Our mission as a strong Catholic community is supported by high-quality educators, dedicated staff and invested families. Philosophy As builders of the faith community of Saint Mary Catholic School, we believe learning is the process of acquiring and applying knowledge, thinking critically to solve problems, and stimulating curiosity through inquiry and discovery. We encourage learning through a multi-sensory approach that encompasses basic skills acquisition, higher level thinking, and collaboration within an integrated curriculum. We recognize diverse learning styles among our students and strive to differentiate instruction so that creativity is fostered and individual needs are addressed. Our Christ-centered approach to learning encourages responsibility, accountability, respect, and above all compassion for one another. We endeavor to instill within the child and the community a life-long love of learning rooted in Catholic values and the conviction to follow them.
