Our Vision
Our school is a vital and valued ministry within the evangelizing mission of St. Paul VI Parish of Riverside and its neighboring suburbs, and of the global Catholic community. Believing that each student is a child of God, St. Mary School challenges each to achieve academic excellence, to embrace the gospel message, and to make a difference in the world through Christian witness, service, and leadership.
- Grounded in the gospel values and teachings of the Catholic Church, we, the faculty and staff of St. Mary School, commit ourselves to:
- Support families in developing in their children a firm foundation of moral values and a belief in God;
- Foster in our students a sense of personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, and concern for others while discovering in themselves their individual giftedness;
- Provide quality instruction that promotes academic excellence by challenging students to think critically, solve problems creatively, communicate effectively through the integration of current technology, as well as through spoken and written word;
- Promote a safe, nurturing environment that facilitates emotional, social, and intellectual growth;
- Witness to interpersonal relationships based upon human dignity, mutual respect, love, concern and service;
- Establish a school climate in which peace, justice and environmental issues can be understood in personal as well as global terms.
- This commitment will continue to challenge each of us, as Christian educators, to develop and act from a global perspective, enrich our own academic life, deepen and share our faith-life, while calling ourselves and others to recognize and fulfill the uniqueness of our gifts.
