Campus Tour

We encourage you to visit our campus for a personal tour to get a feel for what the classes are like while school is in session. A tour is a great place to start when looking at your education options. Feel free to stop by or call Rebecca Naumes Vega in the Admissions Office to set up an appointment. You can reach her at 541.773.7877 or at admissions@smschool.us

Optional Shadow Day

Many families find it helpful to have the applicant "shadow" a host student for a day to get a first-hand look at what St. Mary's is like. This is not a requirement, but we are happy to offer this opportunity. If you are interested please contact the Admissions Office.
