About the School

  • Saint Mary School is a PreK-8 Catholic school serving the communities of Gloucester City under the direction of the Diocese of Camden.
  • Following the tradition of the Sisters of Saint Dominic, Saint Mary School of the Diocese of Camden is a Christian community dedicated to serving others as did Jesus, the Master Teacher.
  • We call our students and their families to be public witnesses to the Word of God by living their faith as responsible Christian people in an ever-changing world.
  • We offer the school community daily opportunities to strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus and with each other through prayer and worship.
  • We recognize the importance of the family as the primary unit in the education of children.
  • We strive to provide a balanced academic program of study which incorporates technology, artistic expression, and basic skills needed for the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of the whole child.
  • We recognize the individual talents and potential of every student by encouraging each child to develop and share their God-given gifts for the betterment of themselves, their community, and the world they will enter as Christian adults.
  • We believe that our classroom teachers should serve as role models by facilitating a constructivist learning process that promotes the active participation of every child.
