St. Mary School vs. Sacred Heart Catholic School

St. Mary's Episcopal School is one of the most outstanding girls' schools in the country.

St. Mary's represents the very best in girls' education, where students have the opportunity to learn in a unique environment that combines the pursuit of excellence in all areas, the nurture and guidance of gifted teachers, and an Episcopal community that encourages spiritual and moral development.

Our faculty is multi-talented, well educated, and dedicated to enabling each student to reach her individual potential.

With our low student-teacher ratio, faculty members are able to guide students in the acquisition of academic skills within a liberal-arts framework that promotes communication and decision-making skills, creative and independent thinking, and critical judgment.

St. Mary's students are given an education that prepares them for college and successful lives.

Graduates go on to the top colleges in the country and continue into professional schools and successful lives.

We, the Sacred Heart Catholic School Family, are a faith community for the Roman Catholic Church, responding to God's call to proclaim the Gospel, to nurture, and heal.

We commit ourselves to providing educational opportunity for the children of our parish and the community at large.

We are called to provide an environment for spiritual growth.

We seek to promote justice, salvation, and dignity for all.

At Sacred Heart, we know that if our students are to make a unique contribution to society as doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, engineers, and artists, each student must be steeped in the vibrant reality of the faith they profess.

Catholicism must be present in every classroom--not just in Religion class--suffusing all areas of instruction.

Religion is not simply a branch of learning. It is a basis and foundation of education that must color every subject.

The Catholic religion gives our school's education its vivifying form.
