Elementary School
Welcome to St. Mary’s Elementary School
At St. Mary’s we seek to develop the whole child: academically, physically, socially, spiritually and morally. Our academic program is built on core subjects that challenge each student to achieve his maximum potential; our physical education program seeks to meet his growing physical needs through individual and group activities; and our Religion/Ethics program aims to nurture his spiritual dimensions in order to foster respect, tolerance and understanding.
Our academic program is built on core subjects that challenge each student to achieve his maximum potential.
St. Mary’s Elementary School gives its students the opportunity to acquire a high-quality education, meet new friends, and enjoy new experiences in an international setting. Administrators and faculty attempt to foster a spirit of Christian charity built upon mutual respect, and school programs facilitate the creation of this atmosphere.
