Mary School, Vineland

Dear Parents, The St. Mary School Board respectfully acknowledges the great sacrifices that you make, especially during these uncertain times, to provide your children with the best opportunity for success and happiness in life. As we strive to create an experience that will maximize your childs academic, physical and spiritual potential, the full gravity of the investment that you have entrusted to us weighs heavily in every tactical and strategic decision. We are committed to a never ending process of improvement in order to deliver the best value in education available in the area, while serving our core mission to make it affordable to as many as possible. The heart of what makes St. Mary School great is our faculty, distinguished by their knowledge, skill, passion, commitment to excellence and love for our students. Building on this foundation, we work continuously to measure, strengthen and grow our academic and extracurricular programs. As a new established School Board of Limited Jurisdiction, we are already working on strategic plans beyond the upcoming school year to continue implementing improvements to our academic, extracurricular and spiritual programs as well as our physical plant, grounds and technology infrastructures. Our goal is to ensure that we are a leader in providing the best possible outcomes for our students in an environment that continues to be safe, nurturing of the full range of their talents and emphasizes mutual respect for one another and their responsibility to society. The great challenge that we face year after year is how to accomplish all of this while agonizing over how to minimize the cost and its impact on our current students families as well as our ability to include the widest possible range of new students to our family. Understand that every dollar of tuition is invested judiciously and our faculty, staff and volunteers contribute with effort that is often above and beyond in support of our mission.
