Mission Statement

Our calling as a Catholic school is to offer our students an environment in which they can learn and can live their faith as part of a secure, loving community so that they will grow to become educated, caring, moral adults, well-equipped to carry on the mission and message of Jesus Christ and His Church.

Philosophy

St. Mary’s School in Wappingers Falls is a Catholic school dedicated to offering students a well-rounded, Christ-centered education in a caring school community, while affording them the opportunity to serve as Jesus did.  Catholic doctrine, morals, and values are taught in daily formal religion classes and are integrated into all subject areas, but most importantly, permeate the entire climate of the school.

We at St. Mary’s believe that children learn best in a secure, well-managed, yet relaxed and pleasant environment.  We affirm that each child, created in the image and likeness of God, is blessed with unique gifts, talents, and needs.  Our task, then, is to draw out these gifts and attend to these needs in order to afford each child the opportunity to develop to his or her fullest potential.

The faculty, staff, and administration of St. Mary’s support parents as the primary educators of their children.  As partners in this awesome venture, we realize the importance of perserving and strengthening the crucial link between the home and the school.
