                        St Mary School has been fully accredited through the Michigan Non-Public
                        Accrediting Association since 1989, and received full Re-accreditation in 1997.
                        By receiving the "Certification of Accreditation", St. Mary School is recognized
                        as having high standards for academic and spiritual growth. All faculty members
                        have teaching certificates and are involved in continuing their education. The school
                        adheres to the guidelines and standards of the Michigan Association of Non-Public
                        Schools.

                        As part of the re-accreditation process, a complete self-study of the school was done
                        by staff, families, and members of the community during the 1996-97 school year.
                        The many strengths of our school were identified, as well as recommended areas
                        for improvement. This study is a useful tool as staff and community members
                        continue to update and plan long range goals. Evaluation of our school and it's
                        program is an ongoing process as we strive to be the best we can be.

                        St. Mary School was founded in 1887 and boasts a tradition of high achievement
                        and academic excellence - consistently graduating fine citizens and strong Christian
                        leaders. Since 1989, we've experienced a dramatic 91% enrollment increase as
                        concerned and interested parents have become more aware of the quality
                        value-centered education available here. At the present time 201
                        students from various ethnic and faith backgrounds are enrolled in Pre-K through
                        12th grades. It is an exciting time of growth.
