Elementary School

St. Mary’s school offers its students a rigorous and diverse curriculum that follows the guidelines of the Diocese of Boise.

St. Mary’s is proud to be:

• Fully accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA)
• Participating in the Measure of Academic Performance (MAP) testing fall and spring
• Meeting or exceeding the State of Idaho curriculum guidelines for each grade level

The curriculum for each subject matter is reviewed and revised on a rotational basis in conjunction with the WCEA accreditation requirements. In addition, the core Catholic values we hold high at St. Mary’s school are embedded in each curricular area.

In addition to this academic core, religious education is taught daily in every grade. The religious program, incorporating both coursework and everyday life experiences, prompts discussion and offers opportunities for faith-based responses. The curriculum includes an expression of core Christian values, moral decision-making, consideration of world and local events involving Catholic leadership, and preparation of student-focused liturgical celebrations.
