"I am a new parent at Saint Mary School in Buffalo Grove, IL (started last year.) The new principal that has taken over is AMAZING! She is incedibly warm and loving to the children (and parents) and she always has an ease about her that I know I can ask her any "new parent" question that is on my mind. The technology is top notch, the activities and after school sports are unlimited and the teachers and classwork is highly academic! I highly recommend Saint Mary School and I feel so blessed to be a part of the school community!"

"Education is one of the best gift you can give to your child. Sending my kids to Saint Mary school is no doubt one of the best decision I gave them. The teachers are passionate with their work. They go above and beyond for the children. They show children to be accountable for their action. The school encourage children to show good spirit at school and at home. I am very happy with my children studying in Saint Mary with the competitive edge of syllabus and balance with a variety of extra activities like sports, musical play, chess club and many more."

"Saint Mary school is wonderful. We started for the all day kindergarten program and after school program thinking we would go to the public school in first grade. NO WAY are we leaving. the teachers are wonderful, my child is excelling in so many areas and reading books I thought were well beyond a kindergarten skill set. My husband and i have made so many friends. The school offers so many activities my children can participate in without me driving them all over the neighborhod. It is a GREAT forward thinking school and the principal is wonderful and in touch with all the latest teaching methods. We are not even Cathloic but we love it here."

"My grandchildren go to Saint Mary School. Whenever there is an opportunity to go to their school and see them "in action" we take it and are always impressed, not only with our own grandchildren and their accomplishments, but with their peers, teacher, principal, and other families. When we come in the school children greet us and say hello as we pass in the halls. The staff goes out of their way to make us feel welcomed. The excitement in the voices of our grandchildren as they talk about their day or share songs and projects with us is heartwarming. We are so happy that they get to go to school here and feel so blessed that the community allows us to participate, too. Well done SMS!"

"St. Mary School is a really wonderful educational experience for students and their families. Not only does it prepare students for high school and beyond with a very high-level curriculum of differentiated instruction, it cultivates their religious, social, and self awareness. Students have opportunities to demonstrate public speaking, musical presentation, as well as participation in many sports teams and competitions. Underlying all, is an air of discipline and respect that is taught throughout and is very evident when interacting with graduates from SMS. Smaller class size allows for strong bonds and friendships to form through the years. There are opportunities for family involvement offering the ability to build bonds not only with our own children, but with our childrens' friends, all the while creating lifelong friendships with other families. St. Mary School is a beautiful community and I am so very proud to know that my children are being educated there."
