Mary, Queen of Peace School Webster Groves, MO

Friends,

Welcome to Mary, Queen of Peace! We are grateful that you are seeking information about Catholic education.

As Catholic educators promote faith, academic excellence, and virtues they strengthen the future of our faith. The most important part of their ministry is to make sure the Catholic faith continues to grow. Today’s students will be the next generation to uphold the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church. As ministers, parents, and educators they will spread and share the good news found in the Gospels.

Each Catholic school is special and unique. The students at Mary, Queen of Peace grow closer to Jesus-Christ as they gain new skills and confidence. In addition to going to Mass and participating in religion class our students learn about their faith through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Montessori lessons give the children a hands-on experience as they learn about their relationship with God.

There are many supplements that support our excellent curriculum. For example ALEKS, Simple Solutions, and Rocket Math enhance our math program. Accelerated Reader builds a learner’s reading skills and comprehension. Learning consultants, counselor, reading specialist, and speech therapists uplift and challenge learners. Devoted teachers work with parents in recognizing each learner as an individual gift from God.

As students grow socially they serve others through our stewardship program and learn to relate to others through the principles of Virtue Based Restorative Discipline.

The next time you are in the beautiful community of Webster Groves stop by for a tour and Mass.

Mrs. Heather Fanning
