It is my son's first and last year at St. Mary`s! He is in geometry and is one of the smartest little lads in his grade. Even though he is wise if he doesn`t succeed in getting all A`s every quarter I take all of his belongings and lock him in a cage for months on end. I can`t wait for my daughter Noknees to go to St.Mary`s and have a great experience!

This school is amazing to get your Jesus on. We have the nicest church and have the best acolytes. We have really cute girls at our school and we go on rides in the school vans with them. It`s very giggly in there. Sometimes they even disappear. I think they went to heaven. Jody Kerr is also a great thing to watch during chapel. Her little mini self waddled up and down the aisles. This is a great school for Jesus.

We have been a part of the St. Mary's (SMEDS) family for 12+ years, and couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. Now that we have one child in high school, we can clearly see the positive impact of the foundation that SMEDS provided for her. I could go on-and-on about all the reasons why we would recommend SMEDS for others, but since there's not enough space here to do that, I will simply say that I would recommend St. Mary's to anyone that is looking for a foundational community and school that will partner with you to enable your child to grow into his or her own with confidence and the tools needed for lifelong success. Kudos to the SMEDS leadership, faculty and staff for all that you do!

Our daughter is currently enrolled at St. Mary's. My husband and I are most pleased with the small class sizes, safe environment (TPD officer always on duty), engaging academics, creative and dedicated teachers, and a focus on the whole child (fostering friendships, inclusion, respect for different backgrounds, developing public speaking skills, and incorporating relatable content pertaining to sacred studies). There is a lot of history and tradition at St. Mary's, which is wonderful; but I think the new head of school is doing, and will continue to do, an excellent job propelling us forward to challenge and engage both students and parents alike. These are such exciting times to be a Saint!

St. Mary's is an amazing school! It is also a community. All four of our children have gone through this wonderful school. I cannot say enough about the academics, teachers and staff, sports, friendships, but most of all, the community feel and support we have received. St. Mary's is a "whole child" school, developing well-rounded, responsible and happy children.

St. Mary's provides a warm, enriching environment designed to help students excel both within the classroom and beyond. Our son has been challenged academically, learned positive study skills and been encouraged to engage in new activities. We believe our son will be a well rounded, well-equipped student prepared for high school and beyond.

I currently have two children enrolled at St Marys and we could not be more pleased. Our children are being pushed academically, yet they don`t even realize it, as they have so much fun. They absolutely love their peers and feel very connected with a close knit family environment. The teacher's communication with parents is OUTSTANDING! I hear from my children's teachers personally every week and at times semi weekly when it comes to my youngest who is somewhat hyper :). The teachers know my children very well and give them customized attention. We joke about moving out West and both my kids start crying and saying they never want to leave St. Marys. The leadership at this school will always keep St Marys a special place.
