At STVM, our students are part of a rich history of educational excellence grounded in our Catholic faith.

On average, 98 percent of our graduates pursue baccalaureate studies at public and private universities, with nearly 50 percent of each year’s senior class receiving college scholarships or grants. In 2007, ninety-six percent of our graduating class continued their education in college. Sixty percent received scholarships and grants totaling nearly $6.5 million.

> OUR CURRICULUM AND COURSE OFFERINGS
Our comprehensive, college preparatory curriculum provides our students with a strong academic and religious foundation that prepares them for college and beyond. Our curriculum includes Honors, Advanced Placement, College Preparatory and Basic level classes. Our innovative Partners in Progress program with The University of Akron is advancing science education, while providing our students with access to university resources. Our teacher/student ratio averages one classroom teacher per 19 students. Recommended requirements for graduation and course selections encourage our students to challenge themselves and make the most of their high school experience.

> ADVANCING WITH TECHNOLOGY
Our innovative science inquiry method of teaching and our state-of-the-art Center for Science & Technology provide our students with an environment that fosters critical thinking and problem solving skills. We also recognize the important role that technology plays in our students’ education beyond our science curriculum. STVM is a center for technology where computers and other technological advances are integrated into the educational process, rather than only offered in isolated computer classes. This enables our students to gain information and technology literacy to surpass the National Education Technology Standards (NETS).

Through wireless technology, we use LearnStar, an interactive education software program that operates on handheld devices. We were one of the first schools in the area to put homework assignments and grades online. This helps our students “own” their education and actively participate in the process.

> CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS
A diverse mix of co-curricular activities and athletics rounds out our curriculum. All activities provide an opportunity for students to hone their leadership skills, foster teamwork, learn self-discipline and excel according to their talents and interests.

> SHARE THE VISION FOR STVM
STVM is in the midst of one of the most exciting times in our school’s history — a $20 million capital campaign to build the facilities our students deserve and to maintain the high educational standards from which all of our students benefit.
