Founded in 1847, St. Mary's Episcopal School is the oldest independent school in Tennessee. Our mission is to provide a superior educational experience for girls which will encourage and enable each student to reach her individual potential.
Each girl is one of a kind, individually gifted, and smart in her own way. We believe in guiding each girl to reach her full — and wholly unique — potential. With our 100% girl culture, our students aren’t afraid to take risks or make mistakes. Because we support and challenge all our students, they’re able to accomplish exceptional results.
