Academy For Little Children

The mission of the St. Mary School is to ensure learning for all our students within the framework of Catholic Christian values.
Our aim is to help our students grow in a manner consistent with their needs, interests and abilities, preparing them to live in a changing world as self-directed, caring God-loving, responsibile citizens.
It is our responsibility to challenge our students to develop their potential in the trust-filled atmosphere of a Catholic, Christian community, whose curriculum includes instruction in the precepts of the Catholic faith and practice in the Christian call to service.
The development of critical thinking skills, knowledge and reasoning are more important than the mere accumulation of facts and data.
