St. Mary Nativity School believes in the importance of teaching children the Gospel message of Christ.
We help instill strong religious values in our students that will have a positive impact on their morals and values and guide them for the rest of their lives.
Like all schools, St. Mary Nativity focuses on providing a sound educational programthat offers children the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to pursue future educational and career goals.
But as a Catholic elementary school, we offer something more: a christ centered environment where every aspect of school life -- from the classroom to the playground to extracurricular activities -- is conducted in the context of a Christian point of view.
Christ is at the heart of everything we do. We believe this religious dimension of education, coupled with a strong academic program, prepares children to meet all of life's challenges.
By working together as a community St. Mary Nativity School provides children with an environment where they can grow intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.
