The St. Mary School

Most LA elementary classrooms run close to 30 students. Ours stop at 12. Teachers know every child's name, reading level, and what makes them light up. Faith and character shape every school day, families of all faiths are welcome, and tuition is one published number. That is the whole model, and it has served Valley families since 2005.

Max 12 Per Class: Ratios run as low as 6 to 1. Teachers have the hands and eyes free to teach the child in front of them, every single day.

Tuition Stated Plainly: $6,700 a year for K5 to 5th. We publish it because you should not need a phone call to learn a price.

Faith And Character: A ministry of St. Mary & St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church. Prayer, scripture, and kindness shape the day, and families of all faiths are welcome.

Real Academics: Reading, writing, and math taught to the child in front of them, not to a curriculum calendar.

Rolling Admissions: Tour the campus, apply when ready, start where seats allow. No deadline panic.
