St. Mary School provides an excellent academic education in a Christian environment that is guided by the following principles: providing students with the opportunity to come closer to God in their own unique ways by helping them discover and develop their God given potential; building an enlightened community of faith through active participation by students in the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church, and by integrating Christian values, Church doctrine, and Catholic social teachings throughout the curriculum; and providing students opportunities to enable them to respond to the needs of the Church and the world through service.
