St. Mary of the Knobs Catholic School unites faith and academic excellence to provide an outstanding learning experience for all students. The school serves approximately 300 students from preschool through grade 8. The faith-filled SMK parish/school community provides a loving, nurturing environment for all. Students attend weekly Mass and participate in service projects and unique learning opportunities throughout the year. Religious education and daily prayer keep faith at the forefront of the school day.
 
 The school has a history of being named a Four-Star School and receiving an "A" accountability grade by the Indiana Department of Education. These accolades are reflected in the low pupil/teacher ratio conbined with an outstanding, experienced staff. SMKCS offers extra-curricular enrichment and athletic opportunities as well as extra support for its students. Students at SMKCS may participate in a variety of sports and clubs. Faculty and staff include certified teachers and instructional assistants. Music, computer science, and physical education are taught by special area instructors. Our preschool program offers two-day or three-day classes for three-year-olds, and our pre-kindergarten classes for four-year-olds are five days per week. Childcare is available from 7 am to 6 pm on school days for SMKCS students. Please visit our website or call the school office at 812-923-1630 if you have any questions or would like to tour the school.
