Because St. Mary’s is a college preparatory school, it is our philosophy that we should encourage all of our students to pursue post-secondary education. College advising is available at any time in a student’s education. Typically, our college counselor begins toward the end of eighth grade and into the ninth grade.

We help students plan a course of study as well as find a balance of extra-curricular activities and community service opportunities. This intensifies in the junior and senior years with college tours, presentations by college representatives, and one-on-one sessions with our college counselor. It is our privilege and delight to work with our students throughout the entire college process.

Here you will find a plethora of links, schedules, statistics, and contact information that will help to enhance the college admissions process. We hope that the information found here will reduce the stress and anxiety felt by both students and parents. We welcome your questions and feedback; we want to work with you in any way that we can.

""I would like to thank the faculty of St. Mary's for encouraging intellectual curiosity and for not stifling my curiosity - for that I am very grateful." Chris Burwell, Student University of Chicago, Class 2004
