Our Mission
As a school community, Shattuck-St. Mary's guides young people to be strong in character, mind, body and spirit for a life of learning and service.
Home to 250 students in grades 9 through 12, the Upper School campus at Shattuck-St. Mary’s is a close community of dedicated individuals. With average class sizes of 14, our students benefit from one-on-one attention, small-class discussion and reflection, and the opportunity to delve deeply into any subject. The curriculum includes Advanced Placement courses in 12 distinct subject areas. Our new Honors Program allows any student to thrive and to accelerate their studies, and provides highly motivated students the opportunity to excel in areas of specialized interest. Our Center for Academic Achievement provides support, resources and instruction for students with mild learning differences. The rigorous and engaging Upper School course curriculum prepares our students for entrance into some of the nation’s top colleges and universities.
Almost all of our faculty members live on campus, many working as dorm parents, providing a rewarding mentor relationship, insight and supervision to our boarding students. The small community of engaged individuals leads to strong, enduring friendships, fosters an environment of acceptance, and a true sense of shared experience. Our large population of international students, hailing from 15 countries, helps our school community develop a greater understanding of the world.
As you review the many pages of our website, we hope that you will get a sense of the excitement and purpose that infuses our campus. We also hope that you will consider a visit to the Upper School to see our programs in action.
