About the School

  • At St. Mary's Parish School we enter into a partnership with families in the formation of their elementary age children to build an academic and spiritual foundation and to teach Catholic Christian faith and values or as we like to say, 'Where faith and knowledge flourish'.
  • Self-worth and an ability to contribute positively in a global society will be nurtured by mastering the curriculum in a Christian supportive environment.
  • In recognition of diverse learning styles, a variety of teaching techniques and strategies are incorporated to meet the needs of the learners.
  • The commitment to prepare students as lifelong learners is a mission of cooperative efforts among the parents, as the primary educator, the staff and the student.
  • We see bright, talented and curious young people.
  • More importantly, we see the spirit of Jesus alive and at work in our children.
  • In them, we see the promise for the future.
