Discover Catholic Schools Week at Saint Mary School
November 9–15, 2025
If you’re wondering what sets Saint Mary School apart, this week is the perfect time to explore. During Discover Catholic Schools Week, we welcome you to see how our approach —a Catholic Classical Liberal Arts Education —forms minds and hearts in a joyful, faith-filled community.
What does “Catholic Classical Liberal Arts Education” mean here?
At Saint Mary School, our classical model is rooted in the Catholic tradition of faith and reason. We don’t just teach subjects —we help students grow in wisdom, virtue, and a love of truth, goodness and beauty.
“Classical” means engaging deeply with the great ideas and texts from our civilization, learning the habits of logic and expression.
“Liberal Arts” in the classical sense means a freeing education —not narrowing students to a particular job, but forming them to think, communicate, serve, and lead.
“Catholic” means everything at our school is grounded in the Gospel and the life of the Church —from our daily prayer to our curriculum to our care for each child’s dignity.
Why this matters for your family
You’ll see integration of faith and learning: students do not just “take religion class,” but experience how faith informs history, literature, science, art, and character.
You’ll find students trained not just to remember facts, but to ask good questions, reason clearly, write and speak well, and love what is true and beautiful.
You’ll appreciate that formation matters: we care about shaping virtues (kindness, perseverance, honesty) and building community along with academic excellence.
What you’ll experience during the week
Over Nov. 9–15, you’re invited to step inside and see how this works in practice at Saint Mary School:
Meet faculty and see our classrooms during our Open House and tour times.
Observe our routines and see students in the act of learning, discussing, exploring, praying.
Join us for Mass and family-gathering events, because community and worship are central to our school life.
Ask questions: What does “classical” look like in Kindergarten? What does “liberal arts” mean for middle schoolers? How do we help students discover their vocation?
