Curriculum

Philosophy:
As part of St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish, our school embodies the notion
of family, community and solid values, all of which contribute to an
excellent education for your children. We are committed to the spiritual,
intellectual, social and physical development of each child in our care. Our
strong academic program is challenging and exceeds New York State
curriculum mandates, yet recognizes the individual needs of all our
children. Our test scores consistently place us above neighboring schools.
Our philosophy is based on upholding the dignity of every human being
with unconditional kindness and mutual respect. As an Archdiocesan
Catholic school, St. Mary Star of the Sea has a rich tradition of
incorporating service projects to deal with social issues into the curriculum,
teaching students the value and responsibility of helping others as an
expression of faith and good citizenship. Our goal is that students will
realize their fullest potential in the safe, warm and nurturing environment
that is St. Mary Star of the Sea.

testing programs and mandated services.
