St. Mary School is a preschool through eighth grade Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Seattle that strives to nurture children and their families through education and faith since 1890. St. Mary School is located in Aberdeen, Washington in the heart of Grays Harbor County. The school is a ministry of St. Mary Parish in Aberdeen, as well as the parishes in the surrounding Grays Harbor County area.
Through innovative programs, curriculum, faith-based activities, and with the guidance of passionate teachers, St. Mary students become lifelong learners, responsible Christians, and leaders that integrate their thinking and believing into action for the benefit of our community. St. Mary School nurtures the development of the whole child: spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially. Furthermore, St. Mary School provides a strong, accessible, and rigorous Catholic education to students of greater Grays Harbor and their families.
Currently, St. Mary School has approximately 150 students in preschool to 8th grade with a student and teacher ratio of 15:1 in most classes. St. Mary School serves a culturally and socio-economically diverse population of students. Our students come from a variety of neighboring cities including Hoquiam, Elma, Montesano, Westport, Ocean Shores, and Cosmopolis.
In addition, St. Mary School offers a robust academic and social program that includes a Drama Club, Middle School Electives (Sculpture, Sewing, Debate, Yearbook, iMovie, and Advanced Science Lab), Student Council, and other student-centered activities. St. Mary School has a focus on student growth and achievement that is supported by our hands on, differentiated curriculum and technology.
Even though St. Mary School is a private, Catholic school and does charge tuition, it is a priority to make sure this education is accessible and affordable for all families that desire a faith-based education for their student. St. Mary School offers need based scholarships and tuition aid to those families in need. The enrollment process begins in early March for current families and open enrollment begins in late March for new families.
