About us

Mater Dei Academy is a private school run by the United States District of the Society of Saint Pius X, offering students grades K-12 a Catholic education based upon traditional principles.

The school strives ultimately to form good Catholic citizens, men and women willing and able to work for the restoration of all things in Christ, freely submitting to the reign of Our Lord in the spiritual, moral, intellectual, and physical realms.

Our academy has a lower school, Kindergarten through 8th Grade, where young boys and girls are formed to understand the traditional aspects of education in consonance with the hand of Almighty God and His divine plan for mankind. Beginning with the seventh grade, the boys' and girls' classrooms are segregated from each other to minimize distraction and focus on the increasingly demanding course content preparing them for secondary education.

In addition to serving the local community, Mater Dei also provides the opportunity for boys grades 8-12 from around both the country and the world to apply for a spot in our dormitory as boarding students. A local institution - the Sancta Maria House, run by laywomen parishioners - offers a boarding option for high school girls as well.
