We have had kids at SMH for the past 11 years and it has been an incredible experience. The school fosters a highly intellectual environment, it is cool to be smart at Saint Mary's Hall. A big highlight for us is that it not only offers great academics and has the best teachers in the city but it is a one stop shop, kids can experience everything, from sports to dance to speech & debate to private music lessons. The school also offers many leadership opportunities in the lower, middle and upper school, from class ambassadors to sports and student councils and a vast amount of clubs to foster their interests and creativity. The campus is beautiful, open spaces, lots of trees, outdoor classrooms, amphitheater, a gorgeous cafeteria with amazing food with all types of cuisines from around the world, but Wednesday is always Mexican Food Day! The opportunities for growth are simply unmatched, SMH is simply the best!
This is our family's second year at SMH and our kids are thriving - even during the pandemic. Our oldest child started last year as a freshman in high school and has had the best experiences with fantastic teachers and engaging, fun activities. We chose SMH not only because of the academics, but also because of the opportunities the school offers. This year we moved our youngest child to SMH and despite the safety measures for Covid-19 (which have been comprehensive and impressive), he has made connections with his outstanding teachers, started sports and clubs, and is very happy with the decision to move schools. We are grateful for SMH!
I go here and it is very very fun! The classes are engaging and the teachers are fun :D Im in grade 6 and everyone is very nice. I have many friends and I cant name anyone who has no friends. I really like Social Studies because Mr Hays is very fun. In Chapel, we learn about all different religions and celebrate a lot. My favorite chapel thingy is diwali because the art is so pretty! Its really fun here. The food ia AMAZING too! The tomato soup is the best.
