The mission of St. Mary’s Catholic School of Metamora integrates excellence in academics with strong Christian values.

Our aim is not only to supplement religious training of children in the home, but more immediately, to provide a climate which enables them to experience Jesus Christ in real life experiences of church, classroom, and school activities.
