However, the one practical goal of the liberal arts is wisdom. A wise person orders things rightly and directs them well. The rule and order of all things are taken from their end/purpose. Because the end of each thing is it's good, a thing is best situated when it is fittingly ordered to its end. As each person is ordered towards God, to know, love, serve Him, and be happy with Him forever, we seek to orient each student towards this most proper and noble end.

In accord with Catholic Liberal Arts tradition, we seek to produce wise students who develop into a “vir bonum, docendi peritus”; a good person, (who is) skilled in speaking.

There are seven classical liberal arts; among those, we focus on what in modern educational terms could be termed language arts and mathematical reasoning. The traditional three R's of reading, writing, and arithmetic encompass a substantial part of our educative work. We work on perfecting the skills and knowledge necessary to read, write and solve problems well.

Everything students learn is integrated with the Catholic faith and knowledge of God. We pray throughout the day and practice our faith throughout the week and school year. Jesus Christ is truly the reason and purpose for our school.

It is our commitment at St. Mary's Catholic School to teach and encourage the practice of the Catholic faith, centered in the person of Jesus Christ, with the values and traditions of the Catholic faith integrated throughout our school culture.
