My son is currently going to St.Marys and I could not be happier anywhere else. He has shadowed the other catholic private schools in the metro Detroit area and he said it was an easy choice to pick here. Brotherhood is unmatched and it took my son 2 weeks to know 95% to know all the kids of his class. He has at least one class with everyone so it's easier to make friends. Teachers are so caring and very involved with the students and giving them the help when needed. Class sizes are around 16-20 kids which helps the more shy kids speak out and participate in class. Regular classes here are akin to honors classes in a public school which is nice to see. Athletics are doing really well right now with top teams in most if not all sports. Bullying is simply not tolerated or wanted on campus and is not taken lightly or brushed off by admin. My favorite part is how involved parents are with the school and it just makes the environment much better. St.marys is worth every penny

Don't send your daughter here unless they are an athletic stud and good at cheating. The seminary left a couple of years ago and athletics runs the school now. Girls are treated as second class citizens and not prepared for college. Go anywhere else.

I love this school. I currently attend here and having nothing to say about it but good things. They recently built a brand new building that is very nice. They have an outside campus that feels like a college atmosphere. I played varsity football and basketball here and I loved every second of it I would rally recommend getting involved in the saint Marys community.

Terrible!!! Brotherhood and sports are the most important things at this school. Most of the kids are extremely rich and have no real life skills or experiences. As somebody that had to work for everything growing up I could not connect with anybody at this school. Ritsy and annoying students. Teach...

As an OLSM alumnus, I'm proud to look back on some of the amazing teachers and experiences I had there. St Mary's provided the environment to excel academically, and I took it. I ended up getting into an amazing college, and have St. Mary's to thank. My only regret was not being more involved in the...
