School Notes
- The small teacher-student ratio allows each child to receive the one-on-one instruction necessary to progress more quickly, to reinforce concepts, and to achieve mastery.
- At St. Mary School every child is important and every child is taught at their academic level and taken as far as possible during each academic year.
- We strive to teach the academic skills while incorporating our faith and values into each day's lessons.
- Children learn to "do what Jesus would do" as they practice taking turns, sharing, treating others with respect, praying for those in need, and working to meet the needs of others.
- St. Mary School is working to develop flexible programs to meet the needs of today's busy families. Before and After School Programs as well as full and half day preschool programs available.
