Why Boarding?

Through the Saint Mary's boarding program, young women are prepared for life. Students immerse themselves into an exciting 24/7 living and learning community, with unique opportunities only found through living on campus. We understand that choosing a boarding school can be a daunting task; learn more about the benefits of an all-girls boarding school below.
