St. Mary's Ryken Alumni
St. Mary’s Ryken is a Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school community operated under the Xaverian Brothers’ sponsorship dedicated to academic excellence and individualized student growth. Our 87-acre waterfront campus is located in Leonardtown, Maryland, and models a small college, with four academic buildings, a 48,000 square foot health and wellness center, a campus cafe, several athletic fields, tennis courts, and a stadium with a six-lane track. Students come to SMR from a large geographic region including Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's, and Prince George's counties, as well as from Virginia. Although the majority of our students are Catholic, all religions are welcomed. The school community fosters an environment of mutual respect and nurtures a faith-filled view of existence. Intellectual growth is fostered by acknowledging students' varying learning styles and promoting the creative use of every student's talents. Students experience diverse and progressive opportunities in academics, fine arts, athletics, activities, and campus ministry. By graduation, a St. Mary's Ryken student is a young adult who is well prepared for college and committed to Christian service and responsible citizenship.
