St. Mary of the Hills School is a culturally diverse preschool through 8th grade Catholic School inspired by our love of Christ.  We educate over 270 students, both Catholic and non-Catholic from 20 cities and towns in Massachusetts.  We believe that being part of this school community strengthens all of us in meeting the challenges of our lives - as scholars, citizens, family members and active bearers of Christ's compassion to the wider world.  We encourage each child to recognize his or her full potential and their unique gifts.  As students' mastery of core academic skills grow, they become capable, disciplined passionate seekers of knowledge and truth.  St. Mary's offers age-appropriate enrichment, volunteerism and leadership opportunities in addition to classroom instruction.  These programs help to form the whole child; mind, body and spirit by focusing on self-esteem, self-confidence, faith, and compassion.

We understand that investing in your child's education is one of the most important decisions you will make.  Here are several reasons to consider St. Mary of the Hills School:

• Teachers focus on growth mindset - helping students learn that by embracing and persisting through challenges they can overcome them.  In developing and practicing skills such as curiosity, positivity, and resiliency students will achieve their full potential.

• Small class size allows for differentiated learning, providing opportunities for students to move at their own pace, whether a child needs more help in learning a concept or they need more of an academic challenge our teachers provide that.

• Wilson trained reading specialists ensure that students who have a language-based reading disability have the foundational and language skills that are necessary to access grade level-text.  

• Middle school students have opportunities to develop their leadership skills, and find their "voice" with activities that include National Junior Honor Society, Student Council, mentorship of younger students, service projects and extracurricular activities.  St. Mary of the Hills graduates attend some of the most prestigious Catholic and independent schools in the area.
