Welcome to École St. Mary!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our vibrant and exceptional school community. As a Catholic, dual-track French Immersion school, we serve students from Early Learning through Grade 6, providing a nurturing environment where faith, language, and academic excellence come together.
At École St. Mary, we take pride in fostering a love of learning, promoting spiritual growth, and encouraging a deep appreciation for the beauty of bilingualism. Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to inspire each student to achieve their fullest potential, guided by the values of kindness, respect, and community. Serving over 400 students, we are proud of our diverse and welcoming community. Love is spoken here, and École St. Mary is truly a special place to be.
As the only Catholic French Immersion school in the city, we serve families from across Lethbridge and surrounding communities, including Coalhurst, Coaldale, Stirling, and Raymond. Our location in the core of Lethbridge Catholic Schools, shared with CCH and St. Francis, highlights our strong connections within the broader Catholic education network.
We are blessed with a variety of support services to meet the diverse needs of our students and families. These include a part-time Family School Liaison Counsellor, a Family First Facilitator, a First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Facilitator, and English as an Additional Language support. These resources, combined with our dedicated staff, ensure that every child at ESM feels supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
To keep our community connected, we use several methods of communication, including School Messenger for important updates, Spaces for communication and reporting, and weekly school-wide Remind messages to share special events. We also provide newsletters and social media updates to keep you informed. Please note that we strive to be paperless, so forms such as Field Trip permissions are shared digitally. If you ever have questions, our office team is here to help at 403-327-3098.
We are immensely grateful for the partnership we share with our families, parish, and broader community, which enriches the experience of every child in our care. Together, we strive to create a space where every student feels valued, supported, and celebrated.
Thank you for visiting our website. We invite you to explore, learn more about our programs, and connect with us to see firsthand what makes École St. Mary such a special place for learning and growing in faith, language, and community.
Yours in faith and education,
Kiera Bouchard
