St. Mary's Chinese Day School

We transferred our 2 children from another private school to St. Mary's and we are very satisfied that we made the move. Our kids love their new school and their teachers. St. Mary's is a family-oriented school, where parents collaborate with each other to give their children the best school experience ever. With the new facility located in the heart of Chinatown and Financial District, the school has a lot to offer academically and in extra curricular activities.

This is a wonderful school overall. It gives opportunity to many students of many ethnic backgrounds a chance to learn and play. Most of the school's ethnicity is Asian (Chinese). There is a Student Council, Big Brother Big Sister Program, Safety Patrol, Teacher Helper and Library Helper. Other unique things about this school is that it has a pack of Cub Scouts affiliated with it and Girl Scout Troops/Pack as well. Piano lessons are offered and Study Halls too! It's a wonderful environment for children. For parents unable to pick up their children at 3 p.m. the Study Hall A is from 3-3:45 or 4 and Study Hall B is from 4ish-4:45ish. Also if that doesn't do, there is a Chinese School from 4-5:30 or 5:45. For Chinese school levels MIddle/High school, classes start at 5 and ends at 6:30p.m. Hope this gives you a scoop!
