What sets St. Mary's apart

Parents touring our campus often say, “This feels different.”

Not because we’ve rehearsed it or polished it—but because it’s real.


What they’re sensing is the warmth of a diverse, welcoming community where kids are allowed to be themselves—while being called to something greater. Where faith isn’t performative, and education isn’t one-size-fits-all. Where teachers don’t just teach—they walk with your child, every step of the way.


At St. Mary’s, we don’t want students to fit into a mold. We want them to become who God created them to be.

Why families choose St. Mary's

01
Our diversity is our strength.

We’re one of the most diverse Catholic school in our area—and we celebrate that. Your child will grow up surrounded by people who don’t all look, talk, or learn the same way. And that’s the point. We teach unity through difference, and it shapes kinder, more empathetic children.

02
We don't ask your child to fit into a box.

Every child is seen as an individual, with unique God-given gifts. Through personalized learning, MAP growth tracking, and attentive support, your child won’t get lost in the crowd—they’ll be challenged, known, and encouraged.

03

We keep the focus where it belongs.

We’re not flashy. We’re not curated. We’re not trying to impress. We’re walking the path of Christ together—imperfectly, joyfully, and with open arms. That’s what we care about.

04
We form students who stand out—in the best ways.

Ask anyone at McGill-Toolen and they’ll tell you: you can spot a St. Mary’s kid. They’re kind, confident, well-spoken, and they look out for others. Our alumni go on to become valedictorians, student leaders, and faithful friends.

05
We want your child to love school.

Not just tolerate it. Our classrooms are joyful and welcoming, with teachers who bring creativity, warmth, and structure to each day. Students feel like they belong—because they do.

06

We partner with you—not just as educators, but as fellow parents.

You’ll find a school that’s approachable, encouraging, and deeply connected to its families. We walk alongside you, helping your child become the best version of themselves.

07
We put faith into action, every single day.

From classroom prayer to community service to how we treat one another—our Catholic identity isn’t a slogan. It’s our way of life.

Carisa Anderson

I feel like our family is now part of the St. Mary's family. It takes a village & I feel like the teachers and staff of St. Mary's care about what is best for my child.

Andy MacDonald

St. Mary's is a place of safety and nourishment for my son so that he will grow to take that love out into the world. It’s also a wonderful education academically. He will be able to share his gifts and education with the world at large.

It’s where our five children have grown from small people to big people. It’s our home away from home.
