The St. Mary's Middle School program aims to nurture the moral and spiritual growth of young adolescent boys and to provide challenging academic studies in a structured environment. A safe, caring atmosphere and a variety of age appropriate experiences are provided to develop and broaden students' interests in academic, spiritual, creative, physical and social endeavors. The ultimate Middle School goal is to create a Renaissance Man who is well-rounded and respectful of all cultures.

The St. Mary's Middle School is designed to meet the unique needs of the 11-14 age group. The main priorities are to increase the intellectual curiosity of each student while at the same time ensuring his social and emotional well-being.

The Middle School places strong emphasis on the personal development of the individual, nurturing his understanding of appropriate values, his interpersonal and social skills and his spiritual development. This is achieved through teacher-student guidance and interaction, along with an after-school program which includes intramural activities which highlight cooperation and participation rather than competition. Students may also join team sports to learn healthy competition and the value of team work.
