Saint Margaret School

Christ-Centered Education in a Caring, Catholic Environment

About our School

Saint Margaret School was founded in 1955 by Monsignor Bernard T. Lennon, the former pastor of Saint Margaret Parish, and was first staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. Offering classes for Pre-Kindergarten through grade 8, the school has established a strong reputation for excellence throughout the Diocese of Providence. In 1996, St. Margaret School was one of the first Catholic schools in the diocese to be accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

Today, St. Margaret School educates students from the East Providence area, Seekonk and Rehoboth MA and beyond, offering a comprehensive education in the Catholic tradition. Our school is one marked by joy, enthusiasm, and care for one another, all in a spirit of Christian love and service.

Our Mission

Our mission is grounded on the fact that the school community, with the support of family and parish, encourages in each student spiritual growth, academic achievement and social responsibility. We work cooperatively with parents and students to provide the most beneficial experience for each child. We work to use each child’s strengths to help that child achieve academic success and believe that education must develop the whole person, spiritually, academically and socially, with Jesus as our model.
