Our Campuses

Located in beautiful Lake Forest, Illinois, thirty miles north of Chicago, the School of St. Mary has grown into two campuses. Currently, we educate over 600 students beginning in our three-year-old preschool program and continuing through eighth grade.

Primary Grade Center

The Primary Grade Center, located in west Lake Forest, is home to our three-and four-year-old half-day programs, half-day and full-day kindergartens, as well as first through third grade students. This campus also offers an Extended Day program beginning each school day at 7:30 a.m. Children may remain in this program after school until 5:30 p.m.

Upper Grade Center

Our Upper Grade Center, located in east Lake Forest adjacent to the Church of St. Mary, accommodates our fourth through eighth grade students. A recent investment of over $3.5 million was used to update classrooms in this facility, expand the library and computer lab, create a new special education center, and enhance the common areas and meeting spaces. These additions and improvements reinforce the importance of providing an educational environment that challenges and supports every student while welcoming family participation.
