Shattuck-St. Mary's School

We are a global learning community that honors tradition while embracing innovation. By cultivating creative, independent thinking, we foster the transformation of our students to become citizens of integrity for an ever-changing world. We aim to be a dynamic and diverse school community committed to excellence, integrity, and innovation, here and beyond the Arch.

Our School has so much to offer students as they prepare for - and build - their own exceptional futures. It’s about doing everything with passion. If this describes you, we’d love to tell you more about SSM and our 10 Centers of Excellence. Being All In means we give you our best - from facilities and technology to the finest teachers, mentors, and coaches. Academic Centers of Excellence:

• If you are interested in medicine, biomedical engineering, or scientific research, the BioScience Center of Excellence is amazing. It is a multi-year, experiential, academic program. Think Shattuck-St. Mary meets Minnesota’s, Medical Alley!
• If you are eager to explore an engineering specialization, the Engineering Center of Excellence offers classroom and hands-on experience in a wide range of engineering applications.
• If you would rather pursue your own personal areas of passion, The Major Center of Excellence allows students to develop and undertake a series of dynamic experiences designed around their personal interests.

Our goal is to foster the academic success of students by providing them with the academic skills and learning strategies that will help them make the most of their time at our school and become independent and confident life-long learners. Walkthrough our hallways at any time of day or evening and you will hear committed, passionate musicians practicing their craft. Check out our visual arts spaces. You will find students painting, sculpting, or working with digital video. Discover an amazing arts boarding school.

All our students are engaged in the arts. At a minimum, they take one arts elective each year. But, the majority of our students are eager to sing, act, dance, play an instrument, get their hands dirty in pottery, and learn to work a video camera. Without a doubt, our art classes and programs are among our most popular. There are specialized Centers of Excellence in strings and vocal music. And, there is so much more to explore.
