St. Marys, the oldest independent school in Tennessee, is a college preparatory day school for girls age 2-12th grade. The mission of St. Marys Episcopal School is to provide a superior educational experience for girls which will encourage and enable each student to reach her individual potential. We know how girls learn best and have a community of caring adults who want each girl to reach her potential. Girls here are smart in many ways academically, creatively, athletically and success at St. Mary’s therefore is as individual as each girl. Our dedicated faculty provide the students with habits of mind and academic tools to thrive in their future: core knowledge, collaboration, creativity, and the desire and ability to keep learning as an adult. As an Episcopal school, we have a nurturing, diverse, and inclusive environment. Girls grow in character from the earliest years and learn to respect each others’ faith as they grow in their own.
