Steps away from the 606 Trail, the Clybourn Metra Station and the Kennedy Expressway, St. Mary of the Angels School sits in the Bucktown neighborhood. It’s a tuition-based Catholic prekindergarten through eighth grade school of the Archdiocese of Chicago. St. Mary was founded on February 15, 1900, by four Sisters of the Congregation of the Resurrection with an enrollment of 425 students.
Today, the school is a recipient of the National School of Character Award. Its faculty of highly qualified, dedicated and attentive teachers provide a diverse educational experience with classes in everything from reading, grammar and music to STEM and more. Located at 1810 North Hermitage Avenue, in the heart of Bucktown, the school is known for its rigorous academic curriculum and a warm, welcoming school community. Parents have full access to all staff members, whether it be a visit on the playground or at pickup, an email or a special meeting.
The school’s mission of creating an inviting space at school is realized daily as lifelong friendships are developed between the staff, students and parents. The school is on the same campus as the historic St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church.

I have a 4th grader and a daughter in the pre-k program. We could not possibly be happier with St Marys. All of the teachers that our children have been lucky enough to have have had this ability to be so loving yet very firm in their rules. There are many important reasons we love SMA but none more important than our kids have never been happier. They truly love it there. The kids and families We have met are now our community. A community is something we didn't expect living in lincoln park but it is very clear that we NOW have our community. We have been at SMA for two years and our kids will finish out their education there. We love it.
