Saint mary school philosophy
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Saint Mary School, a Catholic educational community, is an integral part of the Saint Mary Parish Community, embracing the values and traditions of the Catholic faith.
We believe that children learn best when they are fully involved in learning activities. Through our educational programs and various teaching methods, we strive to enhance positive self-concepts in each student, incorporate aspects of values education, teach the basic skills and augment skills of critical thinking, and self-direction necessary to function as a contributing person in society.
We believe that faculty in partnership with parents, who are the primary educators, recognize the uniqueness of each child. We seek to provide an atmosphere where students develop a wholesome self-image and reach their full potential. All faculty, staff, contracted employees, and volunteers of Saint Mary School are expected to act in accordance with our stated Philosophy of Education.
