Registered under the Kansas Board of Education, the Academy is a Catholic private, non-accredited school. This safeguards the freedom of the curriculum without hindering in the least our official recognition by other schools. Saint Mary's students transfer without difficulties to public and private institutions at both the secondary and university level. We receive neither government nor corporate funding since we wish to remain completely free of any interference in our school programs. Our income depends exclusively on tuition payments and on donations from benefactors.
Donations are tax deductible.
Saint Mary's Academy is open to children from traditional Catholic families. Within an orderly structure which combines piety, study and physical activity, we offer the elements required for a solid formation. The harmonious development of the child depends on his strict observance of the rules which reflect the school standards. Since Saint Mary's is not a reform institution and has neither the means nor the intention of implementing specialized programs, we are unable to admit or retain students who present discipline problems, anti-social behavior, or those who are affected by learning deficiencies. Neither can we offer special programs for exceptionally gifted students.
