St. Mary’s Catholic Classical education is centered on Christ in all aspects of learning, seeking to grow in wisdom (the power to know the Truth), and in virtue (the power to live by the Truth).  One way St. Mary’s achieves this is by requiring our students to read and study the best of what has been written and said in the history of all Western Civilization.  From Plato to Pope John Paul II, from Homer to Harper Lee, a St. Mary’s graduate will leave here with an impressive, advanced literary background, and an ability to apply the wisdom of the past to the problems of today, through the lens of our Catholic faith.
