St. Mary’s is a vibrant, diverse, and global community dedicated to inspiring students to lead lives of faith, virtue, and purpose. Founded in 1899, our school has a rich tradition of nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, social, and moral development of every child entrusted to our care. As a proud recipient of the 2024 National Blue Ribbon School Award, we remain steadfast in our commitment to academic excellence while honoring the Catholic values that have shaped our school for more than 125 years.

 

At St. Mary’s, we have the privilege of welcoming children as young as three months old and accompanying them on their educational journey through eighth grade, preparing them to thrive in high school and beyond.

 

Our dedicated faculty and staff recognize the unique gifts and potential of every child. They create a safe and academically rigorous environment where students are encouraged to think critically and develop a lifelong love of learning. We believe that education is a partnership between school and home, and we deeply value the relationships we build with our families. 

 

We also believe that a well-rounded education extends far beyond the traditional classroom. Through our visual arts, music, and drama program, students develop creativity and self-expression, while our athletics program fosters teamwork, perseverance and sportsmanship. Through our French, Spanish, and Latin World Language Programs, students develop linguistic skills, cultural appreciation, and a global perspective that prepares them to engage thoughtfully and confidently with an increasingly interconnected world.

 

Equally important is the joyful and welcoming community we intentionally cultivate throughout the year. Cherished traditions such as our Christmas Pageant and Tree Lighting Ceremony, International Family Festival, and other schoolwide celebrations bring our families together and create lasting memories. Prayer services, all-school Masses, and opportunities to serve others strengthen our shared faith and remind students of the importance of compassion, gratitude, and service. These experiences foster a strong sense of belonging and reflect the family-centered spirit that makes St. Mary’s so special.

 

Above all, we strive to educate not only accomplished students, but also compassionate, confident, and principled young people who recognize their responsibility to make a positive difference in the world.

 

I warmly invite you to visit St. Mary of the Assumption School and experience firsthand the warmth, energy, and spirit of our extraordinary community. I am immensely proud of our students, faculty, staff, and families, and I would be honored to welcome you and share all that makes St. Mary’s such a special place.

 

God bless you,
Dr. Christine Nadjarian
