About the School
- Our mission at St. Mel's School is to promote and enhance each individual's wholeness in an academic environment with Christ as our primary model.

- This is accomplished by assisting the student to discover and use the tools to develop his/her full potential spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.
- This entails monitoring individual and group progress and communication with faculty, administration and parents to assure continued progress.
- Working together, school, parents and children will be mutually supportive and responsible for the growth of all.
