The philosophy of St. Mary’s Academy is grounded in the faith and moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  We recognize the importance of providing our children of all faiths with a guideline for moral development by adhering to the virtues of charity and justice.

St. Mary’s Academy strives to develop the moral, spiritual, cultural, physical, and intellectual potential of each student.  Through our curriculum, activities, and daily lives we remain focused on the individual child.  We strive to educate all aspects of the child by recognizing differences in learning style, by fostering an atmosphere of understanding and love, and by our dedication.  We challenge our students to excellence, while motivating them to develop an enthusiasm for learning.  We endeavor to affirm a positive self-image among each member of our community and to encourage the fulfillment of one’s highest potential as a child of God.
