Faith formation is at the center of all that we do at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish School. From the moment the children enter school to the moment the last child leaves – we call upon God’s Holy Spirit to be present in all that we do and say.

Student Life
St. Margaret of Scotland students engage daily in those subject areas offered in all schools: language arts, math, science, and social studies. What truly sets us apart, however, are the vast number of enrichment and extracurricular activities that shape our student’s learning experiences. Our welcoming community teaches students important lessons about friendships, life, traditions, and faith.
