School Reviews

I absolutely would recommend parents to send their children to St Mary's School. Three of my children currently attend and one is an Alumni. Attending this school has allowed my children to grow in their faith, kindness in how to treat others and of course their academic success with the smaller class sizes. I love that the school enforces the values we teach at home and how much my children are part often big school family.
