Mary, Mother of God School is an independent elementary school with a unique and challenging curriculum offered in small classes, where each child is known and loved as an individual and receives the kind of personal attention necessary for success in school and fulfillment in life.

Our teachers participate in ongoing pedagogical and spiritual formation, and they strive to be witnesses of faith to their students.  They are in regular communication with parents regarding the children’s progress and any areas of concern.

There is a school uniform for students in grades 1-8.  Students follow a structured day, and all grades can expect an appropriate amount of homework.

Language Arts are literature-based, and also include reading (listening and comprehension), phonics, spelling, grammar, and writing (creative and expository).  Mathematics is taught through problem-solving, drills, memorization, mental math, speed tests, and the use of manipulatives, especially in the primary grades.

Evaluation is based on class participation, projects, oral presentations, homework, and tests.

We maintain contact with many of our graduates, who have proved well-equipped to succeed in a variety of high school environments, often earning secondary and university scholarships.
