Providing excellence in a Catholic education and delivering results
At St. Mary Catholic School (K-8) and Agnus Dei Academy (3- and 4-yearold program), creating a safe and flexible learning environment was made possible after months of coordinated planning.
From the start, our single goal was to welcome back our most precious treasures (our students) for inperson learning for the 202021 school year.
Our St. Mary Catholic School Reopening Plan used a comprehensive guide developed by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia — Office of Catholic Education (OCE) Task Force in coordination with federal, state and local health agencies.
At St. Mary Catholic School, we are blessed with a truly dedicated Board of Limited Jurisdiction; a new principal, Phil Repko, who has over 37 years of experience in education; and dedicated teachers, staff and parents who worked together to customize OCE’s plan to fit the nuances of our daily school operations.
The time and hard work in creating our reopening plan came to fruition, and prayers were answered when on Aug. 31, buses and parents began to drop off their students for inperson
learning. COVID protocols were in place and classrooms prepared to offer virtual instruction as an option for our school community.
Throughout the challenges presented by the pandemic, St. Mary Catholic School remains focused on providing excellence in a Catholic education and delivering results. A good measure of a school’s academic success is the annual Connelly Foundation
Neumann Scholarship Award. The Neumann Scholarship Award is a very competitive and distinguished honor, which provides winners a four-year scholarship to attend any Philadelphia Archdiocesan high school of their choosing.
Only academically talented eighth-grade students are selected to take this scholarship test. This year 459 students competed for the scholarships, representing 112 parochial
elementary schools.
St. Mary Catholic School is very proud to announce that this year our school has three Neumann Scholarship winners, and the most scholarships winners from one school throughout the Archdiocese this year. We are blessed!
Each student’s scholarship totals $33,000 over
4 years.
For parents looking for a consistent track record for academic success, St. Mary Catholic School has a rich and distinguished history of Neumann Scholarship winners and is proud of their achievements. From 201221 St. Mary Catholic School has had 13 students achieve this distinguished honor and have been awarded $429,000 in Neumann Scholarships. This year our students have received $99,000 in scholarship money and counting!
