St. Mary’s Catholic School is proud to celebrate 60 years of providing quality Catholic education to students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. Nestled in the heart of Cranbrook, our school offers a warm, caring environment supported by daycare and after-school programming.

Our community is made up of dedicated staff, families committed to their children’s learning, and students filled with heart. Together, we have earned the Fraser Institute’s #1 ranking for elementary schools in the Cranbrook area.

As part of the Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese (CISND), St. Mary’s has a long-standing reputation for excellence. Students thrive in our faith-filled classrooms and leave well prepared for middle school.

We focus on nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and faith—welcoming all children with open arms and open hearts. With faith woven through all learning, values, morals, and service are embedded in everything we do.

Our diverse programming reflects the richness of our learning opportunities, including outdoor education and music for all grade levels. St. Mary’s is proud to offer these experiences to every student.

Every child has the right education, your support can help a family send their child to school.
