Mission Statement
St. Mary's School is a community founded in Catholic tradition and committed to creating a Christ-centered learning environment in which we share in the Eucharist, proclaim the Word of God, and model the Gospel values through our actions, service, and the way we live our lives.
Philosophy
As builders of the faith community of Saint Mary's 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.
