Benefits of a Catholic Education – Why St. Martin’s Catholic School?
An explanation about the value of Catholic school – and St. Martin’s in particular
​
We are a co-educational Catholic school-serving children in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Our school has been a faith-centered pillar of the Gaithersburg community since 1925. We are an inclusive learning community that strives to achieve each student’s full potential and develop a positive attitude toward learning. St. Martin’s students receive personal attention in a warm, caring, and safe environment. Our students learn to contribute to one another, to their families and to the global community. Scholarship, faith, and service are our guiding principles. These values guide our students, faculty and parent community in all we do. There is no question that investing in a Catholic education can be both a sacrifice and a challenge. We welcome you to take a moment to put the value of Catholic school – and St. Martin’s in particular – in perspective.
