TESTIMONIALS

"At home we strive to teach our kids family values, love, and faith. St. Mary's School has been proven to teach and instill these values every day, and that is why we chose this school for our daughter. Being a part of St. Mary's is more than just a school, it is being part of a family. A family atmosphere is a wonderful place for a child to learn and grow. For these reasons, we are happy to be a part of St. Mary's School." ~~ Jeff and Sarah Egan~~

"When I began the process of defining the philosophy of education that I wanted my children to have, I began first by asking which approach to education would both meet the demands of my children and my personalities, emotional needs and as well make the greatest impact. Potential schools were meticulously examined to discover which would best match the goals of both a religious-centered school as well as the hope of providing the very best academic pursuits. I discovered that the St. Mary's approach to education has been the most effectively applied throughout all students and families I have met that have attended this school. The ease of enrollment to the overall personal attention that each teacher gave my children exceeded our family's expectations. Each child is always met with a smile and sent home with a smile from the staff. My daughter's Kindergarten experience can truly be measured on a daily basis by watching and listening to her come home each day and be excited about her academic accomplishments. By far the Kindergarten experience has built my daughter''s self-esteem, by bringing to her attention a higher power and one of the best elementary academic educations in the surrounding area. The St. Mary's experience is truly unmatched. ~~Jodi Matteson~~

"We chose St. Mary's for many reasons. We knew we wanted our children to have a Christ based education. Being able to learn about God and the Catholic Religion in a school based setting was very important to us. There is no better feeling in the world than when my children come home saying prayers, talking about God, and sharing Bible stories with us. The entire school attends Mass together every Wednesday,and we belive that is important as well.

We feel academics at St. Mary's are second to none in this area.
The building is modern, clean, and welcoming - which was another deciding factor in our decision. The school has a wonderful computer lab, art room, and science lab. The technology is very up-to-date and this was also a deciding factor.

We absolutely love St. Mary's School and would recommend it to anyone, Catholic or Non-Catholic. The feeling of 'family' that you get from this school is overwhelming. Anytime a family is in need, the St. Mary's community comes together to help. The staff is truly wonderful enough good things about St. Mary's School and believe it is the best school in the area." ~~Kurt and Katy Selmi-Downs~~

I"Great staff - check. Great families - check. Great lunches - check. Three happy years - check. ~~Jay and Sarah Lawrence (parents of Kindergartener and 2nd Grader)
