Welcome

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Shattuck-St. Mary’s.

We realize that finding the “best fit” school for your child can be a daunting task. Since 1858, Shattuck-St. Mary’s has had a rich, engaging and internationally recognized college preparatory program that welcomes students from around the world. These years are formative, often becoming a time of growth and heightened self-discovery. Year after year, we see young, bright-eyed students enter our doors excited about this new chapter in their academic career. Upon graduation, these same young people leave as confident and skilled young adults, prepared to handle the intellectual and social challenges they will encounter.

Shattuck-St. Mary’s honors the trust that parents place in us and embraces that responsibility as we prepare students to live and compete in a very complex and shrinking world. Whether you are considering Shattuck-St. Mary’s for one of our ten Centers of Excellence in academics, the arts or athletics – or are interested in a broad range of activities to explore and expand horizons, we are dedicated to supporting each student’s passion to pursue individual excellence. During their years here, students will find a family-like environment filled with talented and committed faculty and staff who will challenge them, celebrate their achievements and provides attentive support in times of need.

Each year we receive applications from more students than we can enroll, thus admission to Shattuck-St. Mary’s is competitive. Therefore, we encourage families to begin the application process in the fall of the year prior to admission.
