WELCOME!If you are looking for a well-established, college preparatory boarding school, replete with academic
rigor, a robust set of arts offerings, competitive athletic teams, and wide-ranging extra-curricular
programs, you are in luck! For over 150 years, Shattuck-St. Mary's School has served students from
around the world in preparation for both the college experience and for life.
The Shattuck-St. Mary’s experience is one of discovery, of uncovering one’s passions and true
interests. When this occurs, a student finds purpose, engagement and, ultimately, a deep personal
gratification. This sense of accomplishment fosters deeper and wider explorations, with the School’s
programs serving as the platform for that exploration. And of course the ultimate outcome of all of
this, the point of it all, is growth.
Our school offers experiences typical of traditional boarding schools: the English teacher who
illuminates the splendor of poetry, the Yearbook “scene” and its creative design process, the joy
of inter-scholastic competition on a crisp fall afternoon, or the excitement of being the prosecutor
for a mock trial hearing.
For others, the discovery comes in a way that is distinctly Shattuck-St. Mary's. It comes from
partaking in one of our Centers of Excellence programs in academics, the arts, or in athletics.
These are programs led by highly credentialed Directors, designed to take the participants to
even higher levels of achievement and subsequent placement.
What is truly special about our environment is that all the students find themselves in and amongst
highly motivated peers. There is tremendous respect and appreciation across the student body for the
work and effort of others. There is a feeling of safety and support, so much so that students are willing
to take risks and try something new, outside their comfort zones to broaden their horizons. And it
is these regular, ongoing efforts which give us our character and vitality and which regularly inform us
about the growth our students are making.
We are different from any other college preparatory boarding school. And we are ok with that!
Our fabric has many varied threads influencing who we are, indeed. 20 Countries and 37 States.
An Episcopal heritage. Co-ed. 6th-12th grade. 13 AP courses. 19 extra-curricular activities. 14 athletic
teams. Nine Centers of Excellence. And 440 students to bring this all to life. These threads create a
fabric that is something to behold. It has a beauty and depth, a warmth and character, a dimension
and subtlety that is truly unique.
Whether you are interested in the traditional boarding school experience or want to join one of our
Centers of Excellence, we invite you to learn more about us: Explore our web site. Read through
these Centers of Excellence described herein. Or, come for a visit. Find your place in our fabric and
experience the growth that our giving and engaging community provides. Discover Shattuck-St. Mary’s
School and experience something truly different.

Shattuck-St. Mary’s is located in the
heart of “medical alley” – a region rich
in medical device companies, research
programs and healthcare organizations
such as the Mayo Clinic. The idea for
the BioScience Program came from a
conversation with a respected educa-
tional consultant who thought young
people would benefit from getting a
jump start on their pre-med college
programs by having relevant, real-world
experiences in high school. The Bio-
Science Program is designed to do
just that. It offers motivated high school
students a “head start” in their prepara-
tion for a career in medicine or
biotechnology.
Upon graduation from the program,
BioScience students will take away both
practical skills and classroom knowledge
as well as first-hand experience in many
areas of medicine and the life sciences.
They will be familiar with all stages of
the research and development process of
medical technology; they will be aware
of all the career opportunities available
to science-oriented students, and they
will have a focused plan for their
post-secondary education.
{ }“I envy SSM students who will have theopportunity to pursue their interest inmedicine and research through the BioScience program.”
At a glanceIn addition to a curricular foundation of human anatomyand physiology, bioethics and public health, the BioScienceProgram provides activities that supplement and enhance all aspects of classroom education. Within this componentof the program, students interact with current life scienceprofessionals including physicians, researchers, owners ofbiotechnical firms, government officials and lawyers, toname a few. A third component of the BioScience Programrequires that each student complete a long-term researchproject under the supervision of a university professor or abio-business scientist. This allows each student to experi-ence the nature and reality of scientific research.
The coursework for the BioScience program consists of sixcourses that integrate basic science, physiology, disease andtreatment, ethics, and human and societal issues: StructuralSupport Organ Systems, Information Transmission Organ Systems, Public Health and Infectious Disease, Energy DeliveryOrgan Systems, Additional Organ Systems and Bioethics.
The off-campus component will take students to biomedicalcompanies, research labs, hospitals, clinics and colleges.
Directing Our Program:Maren LaLiberty, M.D.Maren LaLiberty, M.D. is the founding director of the Bio-Science Program at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School. Dr. LaLibertyholds an M.D. and a B.A. in microbiology from the Universityof Minnesota. After practicing family medicine for severalyears, she decided to dedicate her life to teaching andcoaching. She spent seven years coaching women’s rowingat the University of Wisconsin–Madison before taking herextensive knowledge of biological sciences to St. Margaret’sSchool in Tappahannock, VA, where she taught science andmath courses, and coached the rowing team.

Broadening one’s horizons...
Becky Stoneman’10 – Becky was in the Honors Program for three years,
“It’s Fascinating!”Shattuck-St. Mary’s draws very high
achieving students. When the Honors
Program was launched in 2005, the
concept was to provide high achieving
students in grades 9-12 a true “stretch
experience” academically. This did
not mean solely challenging students
through more advanced courses,
though this was certainly a part of
the plan. The Honors Program was
designed to offer greater challenges to
students by asking them to do more
outside the classroom – by focusing
on additional activities that would
push their intellect and give them
opportunities to think both creatively
and analytically. This means that in
addition to an advanced course load,
Honors Program students attend five
off-campus lectures a year. There is
extra reading, along with discussions
and a research paper that is required
each year. In addition, rising seniors
are expected to plan and complete a
Capstone Project by the Spring Term
of their senior year. Just as high achiev-
ing athletes and artists are accustomed
to a competitive environment, the
Honors Program is designed to be
highly selective.
{ }“The Honors Program gives me an oppor-tunity to learn beyond the bounds of thecurriculum. We learn about each other’sresearch and attend many speakers andconferences. It’s fascinating!”
At a glanceStudents apply for the Honors Program during the FallTerm each year. Students in grades 9-11 are eligible toapply. Application review and interviews are conductedby faculty members on the Honors Committee and newstudent selections are made by Winter Term.
Students in grades 9 and 10 are assigned two books toread, one each during the Winter and Spring Terms. Theyparticipate in several book seminars during each term onselected Friday mornings. Each student also completes aresearch paper on a topic of his or her choice, which isgenerally related to one of the two assigned books. Allstudents in the Honors Program attend at least fiveevents in the Honors Speakers Series. Events in thespeaker series are followed by discussion groups andwritten reflections.
In addition to their reading, students in grade 11 beginthe Capstone Project process which culminates their senior year. The Capstone Project affords students theopportunity to conduct extensive academic research and to present and defend their findings both in writingand in front of a faculty committee.
Seniors who successfully complete the program will receive a diploma noting “Honors with Distinction” at graduation.
Directing Our Program:Esther “Ship” SaffordThe Honors program is led by the chair of the HistoryDepartment, Ship Safford who has been at SSM since2006. Ms. Safford earned an AB degree in history fromKenyon College and a M.Ed degree from John CarrollUniversity. Prior to teaching at SSM, Ms. Saffordtaught at Beaumont School and Laurel School inCleveland, Ohio where she earned lifetime history and psychology licensure from the state.

In 2004, Shattuck-St. Mary’s opened
the Center for Academic Achievement
to serve the needs of high potential but
under-performing students. The statistics
vary, but there is a growing awareness of
how learning differences affect people
of all ages. With a belief that bright but
under-achieving students could be well
supported at SSM, the concept of devel-
oping a specific Center and associated
programs was conceived and became
a reality.
The Center for Academic Achievement
is designed to recognize and enhance
the potential of students with moderate
language-based learning disabilities
and/or AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADD, ADHD) and average
to above average cognitive abilities.
Students learn academic skills and
strategies that will help them realize
their potential and meet the expectations
set by the School, their families, and
themselves. As they become more
confident, efficient, and independent
learners, students can see their own
abilities develop and improve.
At a glanceIn the Center for Academic Achievement, students receive individualized, concentrated instruction specificallytailored to their diagnosed learning disability and theireducational needs. Each student receives a 504 accom-modations plan describing his or her learning style, academic goals, and necessary accommodations. Tutorials have a maximum student-teacher ratio of 3:1and meet 2-5 times per week.
The Center for Academic Achievement is located in SmyserHall and offers a warm and welcoming environment forstudents to feel comfortable as they work individually or in small groups with a learning specialist.
Directing Our Program:Courtney CavellierThe Center is staffed by professional educators and led by Courtney Cavellier who joined SSM in 2004. Sheearned her master’s degree from Harvard University’sGraduate School of Education and is a trained and certified Orton-Gillingham practitioner. Prior to joiningSSM, Ms. Cavellier served as a literacy specialist in theBrookline, Massachusetts Public School system. Ms.Cavellier is a former Director of Language Training at Dunnabeck, an intensive summer reading programat the Kildonan School a school dedicated to teachingstudents with dyslexia.

Shattuck-St. Mary’s is a true global
community with students from more
than 20 countries. The Global Educa-
tion Program was developed to help
international students and their parents
navigate life at an American boarding
school. From providing extensive ESL
support, to staying in close touch with
parents, to bridging cultural differences
within the school community, the
Global Education Program creates a
cohesive experience for international
students. Home stay experiences with
American families, travel opportunities
during breaks, on-campus cook fests
and regular e-mail communication are
just a few of the services provided to
students and their parents. One of the
truly unique aspects of the Shattuck-
St. Mary’s experience is the opportunity
to live with students from around the
globe. Our students benefit from an
expanded view of different cultures,
economies and languages. It is not
uncommon for students to spend time
comparing notes about their different
backgrounds and also learning how
much they have in common.

Perfect EnvironmentAs the Center of Excellence model
evolved at Shattuck-St. Mary’s, a discus-
sion unfolded about the serious student-
musician. Would it be possible for a
student to train with a top level master
while being fully supported by the SSM
boarding and academic environment?
Could this environment of high level
music training and academics be the
right combination to lead a student to a
conservatory as a college choice? A brain-
storming session including several top
level master teachers in the Twin Cities
produced a game plan that ultimately
took shape in the launch of the Pre-
Conservatory Strings program in 2006.
The model developed for the Pre-Conser-
vatory Strings program combines the
music resources offered at SSM such as
ensemble work, music theory, adequate
practice space, and the guidance of a
dedicated program director. However,
in addition to what’s offered on campus,
this program takes advantage of the
School’s proximity to the Twin Cities
and nearby St. Olaf College to match
our students with the most sought after
master teachers in Minnesota. Students
are provided performing opportunities
on and off campus as a soloist and
ensemble member. Students also partici-
pate in a variety of regional, national
and international competitions.
{ }“This program provides the perfect environment for developing the talents of aspiring young musicians.”
At a glanceEach year, the pre-conservatory program includes a highlevel, select group of student-musicians from a diverse poolof international countries and the United States. Attention is given to attracting a range of instruments such as violin,cello, viola, bass and piano to complete an ensemble. Trans-portation is provided for weekly lessons with master teachersand ensemble coaching by a variety of prominent Twin Citiesmusic professionals is also offered. Practice time is a top priority with most students building 2-4 hours of individualwork into each day. Performance opportunities include competitions, master classes and festivals. Students also attend a wide range of performances offered by such noteworthy organizations as the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra,the Minnesota Orchestra and the Minnesota Opera. An annual trip to hear great soloists, orchestras and chambermusic groups of the world is also planned.

A Unique ProgramAs the Pre-Conservatory Strings program
established itself, attention turned to
vocal music. What if a similar model
could work for students who were
passionate about singing? And, could
students discover their musical talents
while pursuing the serious side of their
academic life? Moving boldly forward in
2009, Shattuck-St. Mary launched the
Vocal Performance Program. A key
component of the Vocal Performance
Program is the combination of on-campus
ensemble work, participation in the
Minnesota Opera Saturday program
and weekly lessons with a private master
teacher as well as master classes with
visiting artists. Over two hours of indi-
vidual and ensemble work is built into
each class day. In addition, students work
under the guidance of a master teacher.
Music theory, movement, music history
and piano instruction are also integral
parts of the program. The students are
provided many performing opportunities
as a soloist and ensemble member.
Students also participate in a variety of
regional competitions and festivals. In
2010, two SSM students were members
of the cast of Roberto Devereux, a
production of the Minnesota Opera.
{ }“Shattuck-St. Mary's provides studentswith a unique opportunity to focus atan early age on their solo vocal tech-nique and performance skills…”

HockeyAthleticsShattuck-St. Mary’s
Nationally RecognizedBuilt in the heart of Minnesota, it
was inevitable that Shattuck-St. Mary’s
School would enjoy a long history of
hockey on its campus. The first recorded
official hockey team at Shattuck School
banded together in 1925 to skate on the
School’s first outdoor rink. Over the
years, hockey remained a tenacious pres-
ence at Shattuck School, and in 1968
the campus’ first indoor ice rink was
built–a lofty arched construction now
affectionately referred to as “The Barn.”
In 1990, the school embarked on a
visionary plan to bring hockey back to
SSM as a Center of Excellence. In 1996,
the School fielded its first girls hockey
team, and the top boys midget team
skated to its very first National Champi-
onship tournament. In 1999, the Boys
Prep team won its first Tier I Boys U18
National Championship title. Since that
time the boys and girls teams have won a
combined total of 11 National titles. In
2005, the School added a new ice arena
with eight locker rooms, and a seating
capacity of 600, and follows, in 2010
with the addition of a “3 v3” half sheet
of ice to expand the possibilities for
player development.
Today, the Shattuck St.-Mary’s hockey
program is considered one of the premier
sites for elite level competition and
impactful player development.
{ }As Sports Illustrated magazinestated, “Shattuck-St. Mary’sSchool is to high school hockeywhat Harvard is to law school.”
At a glanceThe SSM hockey program includes girls, bantam andmidget teams. Each team has on-ice practice daily. The players will also have access to the half ice sheet duringtheir free time to work on shooting and the developmentof the creative side of the game through old time “shinny”hockey. Further, each team conducts off-ice strength andconditioning in our fully equipped weight and training facility with our specialized staff. Each team plays a seven-month schedule of 50-70 games per season and competesin games and tournaments around the United States and Canada.
Directing Our Programs:Tom WardDirector of Hockey Boys Prep Head CoachTom Ward joined SSM in 2001. Following high school, he wasdrafted by the Winnipeg Jets. He attended the University ofMinnesota where he played both hockey and baseball. Forsix seasons, Ward worked as an assistant coach, head coachand general manager for the USHL St. Paul Vulcans. He alsoserved as an assistant hockey coach at the University of Minnesota for four seasons before coming to Shattuck-St. Mary’s. Ward has led the Boys Prep team to four National Championships.
Gordon StaffordDirector of Girls Hockey Girls Prep Head CoachGordie Stafford joined SSM in 2000. Under his direction, theGirls U19 Prep team has won USA Hockey Nationals in 2005,2006, 2007 and 2009 and the Girls U16 team won Nationalsin 2010.

SoccerAthleticsShattuck-St. Mary’s
On the MoveIn 2005 Shattuck-St. Mary’s made a
commitment to build a top ranked soccer
program, similar to what had been ac-
complished with the highly recognized
hockey program. Skeptics challenged the
idea, suggesting that a year round soccer
program in Minnesota could not fly
given the long winters. Five short years
later, the SSM program has grown to
nearly 100 hundred student-athletes
from around the world, competing on
five different teams – three boys and two
girls. The School built the largest indoor
soccer-specific facility in the Upper
Midwest, as well as two full size outdoor
fields – one turf and one grass - along
with new fully-equipped locker rooms.
Since its inception, the soccer program
has had many achievements– both for its
players and its teams. The U18 boys team

Figure SkatingAthleticsShattuck-St. Mary’s
One-of-a Kind ProgramShattuck-St. Mary's Figure Skating
program was launched in 2005. The
program was founded with the belief
that serious figure skaters needed a school
where they could go to class and train
and do off-ice conditioning and take
off-ice dance and technique classes. They
needed to be in an environment where
all their hard work was recognized and
celebrated, and where their passion to
skate could meld with their desire to
achieve in the classroom.
The figure skating program today
includes 24 male and female skaters
from five different countries. Skaters
receive extensive developmental training
that strengthens their core abilities while
preparing them for competitions and
individual tests. A year-round training
schedule is available to prepare serious
skaters for the fall competition season.
An annual three-week summer camp is
held on campus in June with skaters
also participating as a group in several
summer competitions and training.
The coaches and a highly experienced
college counseling staff are committed
to identifying prospective colleges and
post-secondary athletic opportunities.
{ }“The figure skating program beingdeveloped at SSM is unique in allthe country.”
