St. Mary School - Riverside We are committed to educating the whole child: intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually. Our goals are academic and personal excellence. We at St.

In cooperation with the parish community and in partnership with the parents and / or guardians of our students, we at St. Mary School are committed to provide the children of our school with a firm foundation in the values, traditions, and beliefs of the Catholic Church. With this as our foundation, we strive to develop each student's individual skills and abilities in many areas: spiritual, academic, artistic, interpersonal and technological. Because we believe that children learn in different ways, we employ various teaching methods, styles, techniques, and strategies to meet the developmental and ability levels of our students. Furthermore, we believe that children learn from the example of faculty, staff and administration, who model Christian values of integrity, responsibility, honesty, courtesy, respect, concern, and forgiveness. The faculty strives to foster in our students a sense of personal responsibility; provide quality instruction that will challenge students to think critically, solve problems creatively. communicate effectively; and, witness to interpersonal relationships based upon human dignity, mutual respect, love, concern and service. We expect our students to develop belief in God, in themselves and in others, and to develop their individual capacities into Christian habits of action and thought. Mary School seek to graduate students who are responsible, educated Catholics prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
