St. Mary of the Assumption Elementary School

St. Mary’s builds on a rich tradition of Catholic education. We serve a diverse population among which a total of 17 languages are represented. Our culturally diverse community enriches and strengthens students who are guided by the Commandments of Love of God and Love of Neighbor. As a faith community, children learn the values of reverence, respect, and responsibility. These qualities are an integral part of the curriculum and every aspect of student life.

In addition to religious instruction, the school challenges students to gain mastery in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies by fostering inquiry, problem-solving and decision-making skills. Teachers develop and support awareness of the connections between subjects by providing opportunities for student projects and presentations. We believe that the curriculum should be integrated and reflect life experiences. All St. Mary’s students are encouraged to work cooperatively with respect for one another as they experience the excitement that accompanies new learning.

Students graduating from St. Mary’s go on to attend a variety of Catholic, independent and public schools, such as Boston Latin School, BC High, Winsor School, and Dexter Academy.
