Flexing Our World-Sized Hearts

The International Baccalaureate (IB) develops lifelong learners who thrive and make a difference. The IB mission, coupled with St. Mary’s: world-sized hearts and world-class minds — inspires our teachers to ensure all learning experiences are thoughtfully and purposefully designed to create students who care about the world around them. When our faculty can capture the hearts of our students,’ the mind quickly follows.

We believe exercising a student’s heart is an important component to a well-balanced education. St. Mary’s provides many engaging, hands-on experiences for students to grow and make a difference in their local and global communities. Service learning is woven into our curriculum to give students opportunities to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it in real-world situations and within a global context.
