2014-2015 Tuition Announcement

St. Mary School, Vineland

Dear Parents,

The St. Mary School Board respectfully acknowledges the great

sacrifices that you make, especially during these uncertain times, to provide

your children with the best opportunity for success and happiness in life. As

we strive to create an experience that will maximize your child’s academic,

physical and spiritual potential, the full gravity of the investment that you

have entrusted to us weighs heavily in every tactical and strategic decision.

We are committed to a never ending process of improvement in

order to deliver the best value in education available in the area, while

serving our core mission to make it affordable to as many as possible.

The heart of what makes St. Mary School great is our faculty,

distinguished by their knowledge, skill, passion, commitment to excellence

and love for our students. Building on this foundation, we work

continuously to measure, strengthen and grow our academic and

extracurricular programs.

The School Board of Limited Jurisdiction, is already working on

strategic plans beyond the upcoming school year to continue implementing

improvements to our academic, extracurricular and spiritual programs as

well as our physical plant, grounds and technology infrastructures. Our goal

is to ensure that we are a leader in providing the best possible outcomes for

our students in an environment that continues to be safe, nurturing of the

full range of their talents and emphasizes mutual respect for one another

and their responsibility to society.

The great challenge that we face year after year is how to accomplish

all of this while agonizing over how to minimize the cost and its impact on

our current students’ families as well as our ability to include the widest

possible range of new students to our family. Understand that every dollar

of tuition is invested judiciously and our faculty, staff and volunteers

contribute with effort that is often above and beyond in support of our

mission.
