Our Experience
Our daughter Madden first expressed interest in boarding school her freshman year in high school.   From the outside she was thriving socially and academically but inside she was longing for something more.  After visiting and comparing several boarding schools Madden decided Saint Mary's was the best fit for her.  We have seen her grow in her independence and gain the confidence she needs to go out and thrive in the next stage of her life.   We are grateful she had this opportunity and know that her life will be richer because of the time she spent living in the Saint Mary's community.

Our Experience
Both of my daughters are ninth grade day students, but I can see them both boarding in their junior and/or senior year. Saint Mary’s has been such a blessing to each of my girls in so many ways. While there are so many reasons why I love Saint Mary’s, the number one reason is that for the first time, they are experiencing school and life as individuals and not as a pair, and they are thriving as a result. Saint Mary's really pays attention to each girl individually, nurturing them academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.
