International students have ESOL (English Second Official Language) classes every day. These classes reinforce and extend the English language development in each of our students. ESOL students from St Marys are very successful with their exams. The ESOL teacher is also the Dean of International Students. This enables both careful monitoring of their academic progress and close supervision of their general well-being.

International students generally stay in the hostel with the rest of the boarders. Our Homestay Co-ordinator arranges homes for each of the students for exeat weekends and holidays. We aim for each student to have the same Homestay over their time at St Mary’s.
