Administrative Vision Statement
As
an administrative team, we challenge ourselves and others in the St.
Mary's Academy community to model and insure the actualization of the
SMA mission and the charisma of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. As
leaders we create a supportive and nurturing framework for the
development and delivery of a vibrant, comprehensive program of
excellence.
Academics
St. Mary's is an
environment rich in values and grounded in the Catholic tradition. It
is a place where young women can develop their individual potential.
The liberal arts curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive and
world-focused academic program focused on preparing students for
higher education.
Located in downtown Portland, St.
Mary's urban setting enhances the school's curriculum with unique
access to enriching educational and cultural opportunities.
Situated within walking distance of
Portland State University, The Oregon Historical Society, Keller
Auditorium, the Portland Art Museum and a short streetcar ride from
the Central Library and Powell's Books, St. Mary's girls can draw from
a multitude of resources that complement their classroom experience.
