Standards and Benchmarks are a broad description of what K-8 students at St. Mary School should know and be able to do.

St. Mary’s uses the standards as a framework for our curriculum development. Our curriculum is developed based on the guidelines of the standards and benchmarks of the Diocese of Madison. St Mary School delivers an integrated academic and religious education curriculum by presenting the teachings of the Church where applicable in the context of all subject matter.[/fusion_text][/one_full][/fullwidth]
