Fr. Eric...
Choosing an elementary school that offers a complete education for your child - intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical- is one of the most important decisions you will make. The school you select for the education of your child will play a critical role in his/her life. With this in mind you should carefully evaluate many things:
When you consider these things, you can make no better choice than St. Mary's School. Situated in the quiet countryside on the edge of Arcata, St. Mary's boasts a bright, attractive physical plant, spacious playgrounds, a school library, computers in every classroom, and a gymnasium - all of which support the instructional program. Now in its fortieth year of operation, St. Mary's, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence, has a fully accredited kindergarten through eighth grade program, and a licensed preschool. Small class sizes assure that each student's individual needs are met. Led by our principal, Mrs. Buchanan (with Masters degrees in Administration and Elementary Education, plus 30 years experience teaching in Catholic Schools), our fine faculty of dedicated and caring teachers all have California Teaching Credentials. St. Mary's School's educational program is a wonderfully rich experience for all. Our curriculum is determined by the Department of Education of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, and follows the State of California Curriculum Framework. The students actively participate in many memorable activities, ranging from field trips to festivals. Most importantly, our children learn and grow in a loving, Christian environment. As for some of your more down-to-earth concerns, our tuition is the most affordable of any private schools in the area. Before and after school extended care makes St. Mary's ideal for working parents. Public transportation comes to the school's front door and car pools are easily arranged. We invite you to come, find answers to your questions, and become a friend of St. Mary's School. Call soon. It will be the first step of one of the happiest decisions you can make for your family. Sincerely yours, Fr. Eric |
