Welcome to St. Mary's School |
 St. Mary’s School, the oldest private school in Amarillo, was first established January 16, 1899, in Clarendon, Texas by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. The school was moved to its present location in Amarillo in 1913. Through these 90+ years, St. Mary’s has maintained its high standards with a strong academic program. Besides the excellent basic curriculum, other areas offered include state-of-the-art computer education, primary Spanish, a well-stocked library, and swimming classes.
St. Mary’s School Community believes that each person is unique and created in the image of God. We affirm that this uniqueness is best fostered in a loving community that helps the child develop the academic and spiritual gifts given by the Lord. We believe in a strong academic program balanced by fine arts, technology and physical education. We believe in the integration of Catholic beliefs and values in all classroom sessions, liturgical worship and service to others.
A Montessori Preschool was begun in the fall of 1985. St. Mary’s Montessori respects the child as an individual and therefore provides a method for guiding his growth which fits his individual needs.
