About Our School

Situated on a serene 23-acre campus in historic Schwenksville in the foothills of Spring Mountain, Saint Mary Catholic School has been serving children and the community for over 60 years. Saint Mary Catholic School is dedicated to eliciting the highest potential in each student through the scholastic, spiritual and moral formation and development.  

The faculty and staff are focused on preparing students to meet the challenges of their futures. Our approach boasts a balance in academia, the arts, and physical education while weaving the rich, strong cords of the Catholic faith into a vibrant tapestry of the child's heart, soul, and mind that will last a lifetime. Our students consistently score well above the national average on standardized tests and are consistently commended on their sportsmanship and service.

Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow. Our faculty team leads a child to excellence - to become their 'ultimate self' - not simply focusing on their development in a vacuum. A child enters the doors of Saint Mary Catholic School where they are embraced and encouraged to discover their faith, strengths, and talents, to become a better citizen and learn to serve. Leaning upon the pillars of Faith, Knowledge, and Service to support their character and decision-making, they leave as leaders to accomplish Christ's mission on Earth. Begin your child's journey at Saint Mary Catholic School where they can write their story.

Our History

Saint Mary Parish has a quaint, nostalgic beginning. In 1922, twenty-five families raised money to purchase a building on Spring Mount Road. They came together to financially support and purchase a creamery to convert and establish a Catholic church in the community.  While the Catholic community experienced growth, the need for a Catholic school emerged. In 1961, a four-classroom school was built followed by a convent. To keep up with enrollment,  in 1982 an additional five classrooms were built along with the parish hall. Fast forward to 2022. Since 1961, what began as a 20 student schoolhouse has blossomed into an engaged 200+ student community. A bedrock in the community, many families - new and legacy alike - seek Saint Mary Catholic School to educate their children.
