ACADEMICS

St. Mary's dedicates itself to a comprehensive education which emphasizes the realization of potential and favors a varied learning experience. The faculty in partnership with parents consciously reinforce the students' development from an initial dependence on family and teachers toward a self-reliance appropriate to their level of maturity. St. Mary's encourages its students to gain a solid grounding in the teachings of Christ through prayer, respect for life, and fundamental academic skills, sharpen their intellectual curiosity, cultivate artistic expression, strive for physical well-being, exhibit compassionate behavior and increase their social consciousness.
