Mater Dei Academy is a
private, independent elementary school that was founded in 1970 by a group of parents. Governed by a Board of Directors, the school provides teachings that are consistent with
the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church as expressed in the Baltimore Catechism and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Mater Dei Academy was established for the formation of children in the tradition of an authentically Catholic education. The teachers serve
as role models and provide superior academic instruction in an atmosphere graced by charity, self-discipline, prayer and faith. Students pray the Rosary
each day and reflect on the Stations of the Cross during Lent. Parents are expected to uphold the philosophy and goals of the Academy, and are respected as the primary
educators of their children.
Students are challenged by a curriculum that stresses high academic standards and the importance of laying a solid foundation of learning.
Catechism, phonics, grammar, writing, and mathematics are emphasized in the lower grades. In the upper grades, higher-level mathematics, science, Western Civilization
and the foundations of the American Heritage are presented, as well as more in-depth studies of the spiritual and moral teachings of the Church.

Help prepare your child for Heaven at Mater Dei Academy
Since no one has ever seen Heaven, the intellect and memory will need to recall what our Faith teaches us - that there is a
Heaven and we must live on earth in preparation for it. However, much the world tries to suppress the quest for Heaven by
the enticement of living for the moment; a good preparation requires that we focus on our true goal.
In order to have a correct understanding of education, it is imperative to have a correct understanding of man's final end.
Man's final end is to get to Heaven, his eternal salvation, the Beatific Vision. This is the supreme end for which man was
created. Therefore, "...there can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man's last end." Pope Pius
XI - Rappresentanti in Terra.
Mater Dei Academy helps fulfill this desire of every man's heart.
