SAVE SCHOOL

Saint Mary's has four schools that provide a wide range of study options on the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Each of our schools is part of the Saint Mary's community of scholars, and each school is committed to the expression and practice of humanistic values, understanding of one's responsibilities in society, and education that transforms our world.

The Kalmanovitz School of Education is a part of saint Mary school which has been guided by the traditions set forth by St. John Baptist De La Salle, the patron saint of teachers, and embodies the Lasallian principle, Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve.

Students, staff, faculty and alumni one and all are expected to be as committed to a high standard of professional ethics and proactive social responsibility as they are dedicated to academic excellence and professional competence.

We educate our students to be highly effective and compassionate professionals through self-discovery and transformative development.
