St. Martha's School is committed to provide students with solid Catholic moral values, high academic standards, and a strong sense of community.
Together with the home, the Church, and the state, St.
Martha's School pursues the integral development in each child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, psychological, social, cultural, aesthetic, and physical.
The school is committed to the development of the whole person, since in Christ, the perfect man, all human values find their fulfillment and unity.
The whole curriculum of St. Martha's School aims to "relate all human culture eventually to the Good News of Salvation, so that the life of faith will illumine the knowledge which students gradually gain of the world, of life, and of mankind." As Catholic educators, we recognize that, while parents are the first to communicate the faith to their children and to educate them, the school has the fundamental task of complementing, reinforcing, and extending the family's efforts.
Active cooperation between parents and school is the cornerstone of the St. Martha's School Community.
