SMI MISSION AND VISION
St. Mary’s Institute is a private Catholic school that engages the whole student in SERVICE through Christ, inspired by our Catholic faith, with the MISSION of pursuing academic excellence with INTEGRITY.
Investing in your child's potential is the greatest gift you can give them.
At St. Mary's Institute, that investment ensures three important things: SMI students live their Faith through personal Christian service; SMI students are on a mission to achieve academic excellence; SMI students are honest and lead by a strong moral compass.
