Since its establishment as a Catholic-founded international school in 1872, Saint Maur International School has been a school community where moral values govern all that we do to help students, parents, and staff, identify and strive for continual improvement. The education offered continues to be based upon Christian principles which focus on enabling one to come to the realization and appreciation that, as human beings, we have more in common with each other than not. Such an approach aims towards collaboration and a strong sense of true interconnectedness between and among the 40+ nationalities and various faiths represented by our multicultural students (co-educational, 2½ years to Grade 12) and staff.
