Academics

Academics at St. Mary's are intellectually and creatively rigorous.

Our curriculum is intentionally designed to provide students the learning opportunities through which they can acquire the knowledge, skills and habits that are essential to preparation for further education, personal fulfillment and active global citizenship.

Lower School Teacher and Student working together.

As students move through our Early Kindergarten - Grade 8 program, they are given more choice, independence, and freedom to discover their unique voice. We recognize and appreciate the daunting task of being a young person, and seek to provide the support and guidance they need intellectually, socially and emotionally. We have high expectations of our students and know the community and partnerships we create between faculty, staff and parents will ensure continued success.

Through our programs, informed by educational research, we teach our students that learning is engaging, exciting, fun and at times, messy, challenging and nonlinear.
 
In the learning process, we encourage our students to understand the value of questions, mistakes, risk-taking, perseverance, and reflection.
