Education is the essence. A simple statement and perhaps an obvious one for a school. But, in its simplicity there lies complexity. Yes, we challenge our students with our rigorous curriculum, and deliver it in unique, stimulating, and impactful ways. That’s not enough.
We also challenge our students to discover their leadership skills, to re-connect with their creative side that was so present when they were young, to learn how to collaborate, to act as contributing members of a community, to navigate the waters of adolescence, to commit to the demands of practice, and, of course, to learn how to do their own laundry.
We are a loving community that embraces while stretching. We give and we demand. We partner with our parents, for the good of our students, yet foster the independence that will ultimately define their lives.
We believe in the power of relationships, of trust, of mentorship.
Through this unique Shattuck-St. Mary’s education, our students transform into aspiring young adults, ready and excited for what awaits them in their years ahead, both here and beyond the Arch.
