The best way to learn about Mary, Seat of Wisdom School is to take a tour when school is in session. The joy and enthusiasm with which our students approach learning, the care and professionalism of our teachers, the visible Catholic Identity of the school, and our sparkling school building – all contribute to demonstrate the wonderful education your child will receive here. Students entering grades 1 to 8 may choose to “shadow” for a day, going through a typical school day with a student in their grade. This provides a first-hand look at MSW.

A Word from Our Assistant Principal about the Application Process
We’re glad that you are interested in applying to Mary, Seat of Wisdom School. In this section, you’ll find the forms and instructions needed to apply for admission to our school.
I wear two hats here at MSW: I am the Assistant Principal and I am a parent of a junior high student and a recent MSW grad. I have worked at Mary Seat of Wisdom since 1998, first as coordinator of the Extended Day Program and then since 2000 as Assistant Principal. During that time, I have watched my own children thrive and learn at MSW and I have worked with hundreds of other children as they entered into the school family and moved through the grades. I have watched more than a dozen classes graduate into the larger world, armed with the academic, spiritual, physical, artistic, athletic and social skills needed to make the world a better place. It’s gratifying to see those children grow from preschoolers and kindergarteners to the poised young men and women that we see at graduation. It’s rewarding to see them excel in high school and beyond.
You can learn a lot about MSW by visiting this website, but it can’t quite compare to the in-person experience. I’d like to invite you to take a tour when school is in session. The joy and enthusiasm with which our students approach learning, the care and professionalism of our teachers, our sparkling school building – all demonstrate the wonderful education children receive here. Students in grades 1-8 may choose to get a first-hand look at MSW by “shadowing” for a day, going through a typical school day with a student in their grade. Preschool and Kindergarten children and their parents are also invited to visit, meet the teachers, observe and participate in class.
Please call the school office at 847-825-2500 to request a tour or shadow day or for further information. I am always eager to answer any questions that you may have and I know that our Principal, Mrs. Judy Schutter, is always glad to talk to parents, students and prospective families. Thank you, again, for your interest in MSW School.
Sincerely,
Julie Due
Assistant Principal
