School Overview
The School
St. Mary’s Preparatory is a Catholic high school with an enrollment of 550 boys in grades 9 – 12. The school’s 120-acre campus is located on the east shore of Orchard Lake in Southeast Michigan and is shared with SS. Cyril & Methodius Seminary. Madonna University also offers colleges courses that are held on this campus. Founded in 1885, St. Mary’s continues to offer a college preparatory curriculum to boys. We have achieved great success in this venture as 99% - 100% of graduates are accepted to colleges and universities throughout Michigan, the United States, and even the world each year. An average class size of 18.1 students and a student to teacher ration of 14:1 assure that students will receive the attention they need and deserve during their time at St. Mary’s.
The academic year at St. Mary’s begins in mid-August and continues until Memorial Day weekend in late May. Classes begin at 7:45 a.m. and continue until 2:45 p.m. daily. Students take seven academic classes a day. Twice a week, all students are required to attend Catholic Mass. A typical freshman schedule includes full-year courses in mathematics, language arts, foreign language, science, and theology, along with semester courses in health, physical education, computer programming, and computer applications. Both 5-day and 7-day boarding programs are available and approximately 90 students currently take advantage of those programs. All parents are automatically members of the Moms & Dads Club and their active participation is required. This club is an extremely effective fundraising organization and it provides a framework of communication and support for St. Mary’s parents.
