Overview
St. Mary Nativity School believes in the importance of teaching children the Gospel message of Christ.
We help instill strong religious values in our students that will have a positive impact on their morals and values and guide them for the rest of their lives.
Like all schools, St. Mary Nativity focuses on providing a sound educational programthat offers children the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to pursue future educational and career goals.
But as a Catholic elementary school, we offer something more: a christ centered environment where every aspect of school life -- from the classroom to the playground to extracurricular activities -- is conducted in the context of a Christian point of view.
Saint Jude Catholic School is an elementary school in the Dominican tradition. In partnership with parents, we offer children an excellent academic and religious education. We provide a Christ-centered atmosphere in which students may grow in knowledge, truth and love.
