Saint Mary School

Saint Mary School is a private, Catholic-oriented institution that emphasizes an integral education nurturing the heart, mind, and spirit equally. Its philosophy is rooted in the belief that academic excellence is achieved by focusing on competencies, aptitudes, and values, while spiritual education serves to unite the mind and heart. The school promotes tolerance, respect, and cultural exchange as core pillars of its community.

The academic programme spans from nursery to secondary school, offering a 100% bilingual curriculum. Preschool utilizes a 'Learning Centers' methodology based on integrated projects, while elementary school follows 'The Literary Tree' curriculum, which centers on literature to teach English. In high school, students pursue the National Baccalaureate, with the option to complete the two-year International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in 10th and 11th grades. Religious education is a foundational element, including preparation for First Communion and Confirmation.

The school manages admissions for students from nursery through secondary levels, requiring an interview with the Department of Integral Support and an admission test for kindergarten through secondary. Applicants must meet specific age requirements by February 15th of the entry year and provide documentation including academic records, vaccination history, and identification. For students transferring from abroad, academic records from the previous year must be apostilled and certified by relevant educational and governmental authorities. The school offers personalized tours and virtual meetings for prospective families.

The school follows the national academic calendar, with the school year beginning in February and concluding at the end of November. Monthly tuition payments are processed over 11 months, from February through December.

The campus features specialized facilities including computer and science laboratories, an art room, a theater, and a library. Sports infrastructure includes a regulation soccer field, a five-a-side soccer field, a multipurpose court, an athletics track, and a specialized gymnasium for children.
