MOTHER OF SORROWS CATHOLIC SCHOOL –
FORWARD-THINKING EDUCATION ROOTED IN FAITH
T
here are a lot of misconceptions out there about Catholic schools, but the truth is that
today’s Catholic schools are every bit as efficient in educating your children for the world of
tomorrow as their public school counterparts.
Principal Theresa Szmed said that Mother of Sorrows right now has one of the most advanced
SmartLabs in the area, which is part of its STREAM program, the Catholic school version of STEM.
Classrooms at Mother of Sorrows have an average 15:1 class-size ratio so that each student
receives the attention and differentiated instruction needed to succeed academically. The school
also has a more rigorous Pre-K program, uniquely suited for students who turn 5 after Oct. 1,
that challenges students on material they need to master before entering kindergarten without
repeating the regular 4-year-old preschool year.
In addition, Mother of Sorrows has some very competitive athletic teams in basketball, track
and field, volleyball, soccer and cheerleading.
Like all Catholic schools, financial aid is always available to families who need it so that no child
is ever turned away based on the family’s ability to pay.
And, most importantly, Mother of Sorrows teaches children about the Catholic religion,
incorporating aspects of the faith into every aspect of its curriculum.
