St. Mary’s attracts the very best teachers who are committed to inspiring girls to be lifelong learners who think critically, creatively, and independently. Once they are here, our teachers tend to stay. On average, our teachers have 16 years of teaching experience.

St. Mary’s teachers and administrators have been selected to serve in leadership roles for a variety of national organizations, including the National Association of Independent Schools, National Merit Scholarship Corporation Advisory Council, and the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools.  

St. Mary’s teachers are experienced at teaching in an all-girls environment. They use the latest strategies and research to engage girls and prepare them for the world that they will lead. St. Mary’s is committed to the growth of our teachers, and provides generous funds for professional development. New faculty members complete professional development training focused on the best methods for teaching girls. In addition, our teachers attend numerous local and national conferences and workshops in which they share their expertise with others and learn best practices in the field of girls’ education.

Our teachers are published authors, artists, musicians, actors, and historians. They have enthusiasm for the subjects they teach and continue to hone their skills and develop professionally. Regardless of the subject area, they bring a tradition of excellence and dedication to their work every day.
