Ave Maria Catholic School is, proudly and uniquely, a part of 6% of Core Knowledge schools that are parochial. AMCS recognizes the importance and value of a strong core curriculum that is built grade by grade. As a Friend of Core Knowledge, Ave Maria Catholic School will continue to develop a foundation for students to learn in an environment that is "coherent, cumulative, and content-specific" while fostering positive individual growth, self-discipline, and responsible involvement in school and community. We will strive to have each student build a lasting relationship with God so that upon leaving, our students will possess a passion for learning, open minds, and the ability to adapt to a diverse and changing world.
