Rooted in a faithful Catholic community, St. Mary’s Catholic School has a 128-year tradition of forming joyful disciples of Jesus Christ by cultivating a love of all that is true, beautiful, and good.
The oldest private school in Williamson County, St. Mary's Catholic School was founded in 1896 by the Dominican sisters. Currently serving PK3 - High School, our students travel from over 20 zip codes and across a 45-mile radius to experience a richly classical curriculum steeped in faith and virtue.
St. Mary's Catholic School is a Premier Member School of the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education (ICLE).
Since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has called for the renewal of Catholic education at all levels, from grade school through universities. A Catholic education needs to be more than just a secular school with a religion class. The ICLE offers teacher training and professional development to help our faculty realize this vision.
The ICLE helps us integrate faith and reason across our curriculum. The ICLE is a community of Catholic educators who create curriculum and build school culture in light of the fullness of Catholic teaching. Martin Saints was proud to host ICLE’s annual High School Leaders Forum in 2022 and 2023, when guests came from around the country to learn more about the Martin Saints model and how to found a Catholic classical high school.
Martin Saints is a member of the international Chesterton Schools Network. Named for G. K. Chesterton, who lived the Catholic faith with wit, wisdom, clarity, and charity, Chesterton network schools offer a broad liberal arts education with an emphasis on cultivating Christian virtues.
The beauty and goodness of God’s creation are woven into the entire curriculum. We study the great books of Western civilization. We welcome all the tough questions that high school students ask. Our teaching style emphasizes good writing, clear thinking, and seminar-style conversation.
Catholic schools have educated youth for many years, forming them in their faith and providing them with the knowledge and life skills to assume an active and positive role in the Church and in the communities in which they live.
