Philosophy/General Purpose

Saint Mary School has been a cornerstone of the Buffalo Grove Community for 170 years and has a history of faith formation and academic excellence. We are excited to continue this tradition of excellence at Saint Mary School by providing outstanding student-centered academic experiences, and outstanding Catholic formation for our children. As a Catholic community, we have the unique ability to truly educate the whole child and form life-long learners; we will impact the lives of every one of our children and they, in turn, will impact their communities. Saint Mary is a place where Faith, Academics and Community prepare our students to succeed now and in the future.
