St. Mary School (Closed 2015)

2000 Richmond Ave
Mattoon, IL 61938
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.
