The Basilica School of Saint Mary

"Proud parent of two students at the Basilica School of Saint Mary and in our 9th year at the school. In addition to wonderful and caring faculty and staff, the parent community is warm, welcoming and helpful. We are grateful to be a part of this school that has helped develop two awesome kids."

"My family and I can't say enough great things about our school community. The parent involvement, the student body and amazing teachers make us thankful everyday to be part of this incredible environment."

"I am the parent of four students at St. Mary’s and, simply put, St. Mary’s is not just a school, it is a family. By and large, the teachers at St. Mary’s are there not because it is a job, but because they believe in the mission of the school and truly care about its students. Mr. Cinalli, the school’s principal, is one of the school’s greatest assets. He fosters an environment of respect, kindness, and scholarship and is truly dedicated to the students. At St. Mary’s, we joined a community that truly lives out its motto “saints, stewards, and scholars.”"

"Such a wonderful community! My kids have been at St Mary’s since pre-k. Involved parents, great teachers and top notch academics! Proud to be a Saint!"

"We have been part of The Basilica School for the past four years and are very happy. So far the education has been great and it has provided us with a great sense of community in Alexandria. Our new principal is fantastic and we are lucky to have him."
