Abundant Opportunities
St. Mary’s girls have countless meaningful opportunities to explore their unique interests and passions. From athletic teams that begin in 1st grade to travel abroad opportunities that start in 7th grade, our girls are encouraged to dream big and pursue their goals—wherever their imaginations take them.

St. Mary’s provides a nurturing and empowering environment where girls are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, take risks, and develop the skills and confidence to pursue their dreams. Whether in the classroom, on stage, or on the field, our students are challenged to grow and excel.
