Having toured every Catholic school in the area --and possessing insider knowledge of many-- I can state with confidence that St. Mary's is easily the best Catholic School in the Hudson Valley. Our family can only recommend the school most highly, as it is Catholic Classical education at its finest. The administration is masterful and kind and the teachers are equally masterful, full of experience, and teach the *whole child* as an individual. In terms of early elementary instruction, the instruction is interdisciplinary and creative in the most beautiful way. Social studies lessons on folk tales offer tie-ins to mathematics, religion, and English, as well as problem solving, and science is very much taught in a "hands on" experiment-based manner. We love everything about this school and certainly the wholesome, value- and faith based education our children are receiving!

A very special place, with caring teachers, amazing playgrounds and great sense of community. Our daughter loves it, and we hope to send her there for many years to come!
