The school
A long tradition. A cross-cultural outlook.
St. Mary’s School is an independent, coeducational college-preparatory school serving grades 5-12 in Medford, Oregon. Founded in 1865, it combines a long academic tradition with a learning environment designed for close teacher-student relationships.
The school’s profile extends beyond the classroom. Chinese language and cultural exchange, a Confucius Classroom established in 2008, and STEM opportunities in engineering and competitive robotics all form part of its international outlook.

Learning in focus
What gives the school
its character.
Three parts of the school experience that are especially relevant to an international education partnership.
STEM through practice
Engineering spaces and robotics make applied learning visible. CIC’s school profile records two robotics teams, C4 and TNT, participating at the FIRST championship level.
Cross-cultural learning
Chinese language study, cultural exchange and school visits form a documented part of St. Mary’s international outlook, including its Confucius Classroom history.
The CIC connection
From Oregon to Wuhan.
St. Mary’s is the named U.S. school partner in CIC’s program with Wuhan No. 2 High School. The project connects local school strengths with U.S. high school curriculum resources and cross-cultural learning.
Other St. Mary’s program connections in China include Shenzhen, Pinghu, Cixi, Beijing and Chengdu. Each local partnership defines its own curriculum, teaching and academic requirements.
