Mission of St. Mary Academy


St. Mary Academy provides our children an education that is firmly founded in faith. We provide the highest quality learning environment for preschool through fifth grade.

A faith-based education builds character:

Self-esteem and respect for others are critical attributes to a happy, successful life, and our school expands upon and supports the important lessons you teach your children at home. Supporting the values you teach at home, we help your children develop a strong sense of self, an understanding of the difference between what is right and what is not, and a sense of accountability. As they grow, your children will come to believe in themselves and their capabilities. We treat all children as individuals with unique gifts and we teach them to welcome challenges with strength and confidence.

A faith-based education encourages scholarship:

We offer your children a diverse and challenging curriculum, the freedom to learn in a dynamic, distraction-free environment, and the encouragement and confidence to push themselves academically. Our schools provide a solid foundation for success in higher education.

A faith-based education encourages participation:

The ability to pitch in, to take part, to become an integral part of a greater effort is key to success as a student and as an adult. Helping your children build strong and honest relationships through participation with others is an important lesson. We welcome and encourage your involvement in the ongoing education of your children.

A faith-based education encourages stewardship:

A faith-based school helps your children develop a full appreciation for the gifts God provides, and an equally intense desire to share them wherever they are needed. Our teachers understand this important principle and pass it on to your children. The students, in turn, bring their unique talents to be developed and shared with their classmates and their community.
