Academic Program    
   

Education is for discovering meaning in life, developing human potential and empowering individuals to be responsible for their lives and to contribute to the society in which they live. The academic curriculum at St. Mary’s School is designed to do just this.

The goals and objectives of our instructional program coincide with those of the State of Massachusetts and the Diocese of Springfield. Our students consistently score above average on standardized tests given in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades.

In addition to the basic subjects taught to students in grades K-8, the curriculum is complimented with a Gym, Music, Art, Computer and Library period each week. Spanish is scheduled for students in grades 5-8 who switch classes at the junior high level.

Each classroom, the library and offices are equipped with computers that are Internet accessible and a fully equipped computer lab provides state of the art technology to the students. A new science lab enables hands-on experiences to compliment the science program. Up-to-date textbooks and materials cover essential areas while a professional and gifted Faculty and Staff ensures quality instruction and learning.

A balanced curriculum is essential for achieving a solid foundation and therefore is rounded out with speakers and groups coming into the school as well as classes going out for various cultural and entertainment events.

Please take note of our school calendar for specific programs, speakers, trips and their dates and times.
