Admissions Form and Information
To Parents:
As you make application to enter your child in Saint Mary's School,
there are some basic principles of our philosophy that we wish to
share with you so that you will fully understand the type of education
offered and the cooperation and support which is necessarily expected
of you, the parents.
Faith
Community
St. Mary of the Angels School has been the sole center of Catholic
Education in Mendocino County since 1953. Ours has been a history
of academic excellence rooted in our primary purpose of proclaiming
the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. This is achieved by our call to
a faith community built on a reverence for each person's dignity,
on shared worship, and on service to others. We, teachers, parents
and students, form a faith community in which each child is valued
as a unique and precious person. Our relationships are characterized
by respect, responsibility, and joy. In the spirit of family, parents
as primary educators, and teachers model Christian values in an effort
to educate the whole child. Our students are thereby empowered to
accept the responsibility to make a difference in creating a just
world. Ours is a caring community and in the deepest sense, this service
of love is the highest goal of education.
Certain principles follow from this statement
of philosophy:
- Reverence and worship of God, loyalty to
and love of our country and concern for and service to our neighbors
are part of the daily educational program.
- Courtesy, respect and love characterize
all our dealings with one another - teacher toward student; student
toward teacher; student toward student, teacher toward parent.
- Mutual responsibility is placed upon student
and teacher and parent to learn, to advance, to grow, to be punctual,
accountable, etc.
- School and classrooms are places where there
is an atmosphere of joy, and of being alive. They are orderly
centers of busy, happy and productive learning.
