Mission Statement

"We Walk with Jesus"

Saint Mary School is committed to quality Catholic education, and  strives to develop each student’s maximum potential spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.  The school community diligently imparts Catholic principles through instruction and example enabling students to find meaning and purpose for their own lives and to enrich the lives of others. 


Philosophy

Saint Mary School proclaims the Gospel message and provides a distinctive Christian environment in which doctrine is taught and beliefs are practiced.  This integration of faith with school life develops students whose values are centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Through experiencing the Gospel message, students develop an inner faith, which sustains them throughout their lives. 

Catholic education has the responsibility to educate those who seek such an education.  The school challenges students to fulfill their potential spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and aesthetically.  Saint Mary School is committed to academic excellence in a value-based educational setting.  The community of priests, administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and students work cooperatively toward the school’s goals.  A strong foundation of religious education and active academic learning, coupled with close relations with home and family, encourage students to reach out from the school community to the world around them. 

Christian standards of social behavior are emphasized at Saint Mary School.  As a result, a strong sense of social justice is developed during the students’ school years.  The school provides many opportunities for service to others.  Saint Mary School strives to form productive, caring members of society.

Accreditation

Saint Mary School is accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference.  In 2010, the Florida Catholic Conference Accreditation Team awarded Saint Mary School Full Accreditation.  Only certified teachers who meet the requirements of both the State of Florida Department of Education and the Florida Catholic Conference are hired.
