Our mission shall be to work in active partnership with parents to:

Assist in the development of the whole child - intellectually, spiritually, morally, socially, emotionally and physically and to help awaken and educate children about the special capacities and talents they each possess.

Provide the highest quality education possible, through excellence in curriculum, instruction, and individual attention to student needs.

Challenge students to achieve their full potential and to experience the joys of life-long learning and the rewards of life as a Christian individual.

Support and nurture each child’s God-Given gifts, in order to prepare each one to become a competent, contributing citizen and Christian leader in the community, his or her church and in the world.

Provide a safe and caring environment in which each child can develop healthy self esteem, confidence in his or her abilities, a positive attitude and a sense of stewardship for others.

We also plan to:

Assist parents in further developing their parenting skills, in strengthening their Christian faith, and in finding additional ways to enrich the lives of all members of their families.

Help to create a supportive network of Christian families who can assist each other in the challenging and rewarding task of raising children in today’s world.

Develop a regular means for joint planning between parents and teachers in order to develop common goals and to celebrate the progress of each individual child.

St. Mary’s School exists as a ministry of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.
