scholars and leaders in faith

As the oldest Catholic elementary school in Alabama, St. Mary's Catholic School has a legacy of excellence. But beyond our high achievements and rich heritage, we want the same things for your child as you do: for them to feel loved every day at school, make good friends they can share their faith with, have a chance to discover their passions, and get a high-quality academic education. That’s why we focus on the development of the whole child, meeting the spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional needs of our children. We provide a richly Catholic learning experience for your child, from six weeks old all the way through 8th grade! St. Mary's Catholic School welcomes students of any religion, race, or national origin and is proud to provide a diverse learning environment.

To come see for yourself why St. Mary's may be right for your family, please call our office at 251-433-9904 to schedule a personal tour. Or, if you're ready to sign up right away, our registration information can be found below!
