Mt. St. Mary Academy is a regional Catholic School serving the Catholic communities of Nevada County comprised of St. Patrick Parish, Grass Valley and St. Canice Parish, Nevada City .  Administration and faculty are committed and dedicated to modeling and teaching the Catholic Faith to our students.  This privilege is accomplished through:

	Daily religious instruction in the Catholic Christian Tradition.
	Participation in and celebration of weekly Mass.
	Community Service Projects.
	Students ministering as Altar Servers, Lectors and Cantors.
	Vocational awareness.
	Participation in the Diocesan Religion Competition.
	Collaborating with Parish Organizations.

Recognizing that parents are the primary educators of their children, the school and parish staff assist parents in sacramental preparation and ongoing faith development opportunities through out the school year.
