About Us
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.
Academics
Our holistic college preparatory, faith-based education is tailored to our students’ needs and ambitions. SMR students receive a rigorous college preparatory, honors and Advanced Placement curriculum in a values-based environment.

Our faculty and staff are committed to being accessible to students and parents, and they have a genuine interest in the success for every student. Tutors and mentors are available in all subjects.
Admissions
We invite you to visit our beautiful 87-acre waterfront campus to learn firsthand why St. Mary’s Ryken is the best choice for your student’s high school career.
Arts
At St. Mary's Ryken an appreciation of the arts is critical to a well-rounded education. We promote student talent and leadership through a range of classes and clubs that help foster an understanding of the arts.

The Fine Arts department provides the student with a better understanding of the visual and performing arts through academic study and performance. Intensive artistic training and performance opportunities are available to students who wish to focus and hone their gifts. Students are guided by faculty who are accomplished, practicing professionals in their own field.
Athletics
St. Mary's Ryken offers multiple opportunities for student-athletes to develop values such as leadership, integrity, determination, teamwork and sportsmanship. The athletics program educates student-athletes to persevere through adversity and compete with dignity and pride. Student-athletes consistently strive to be as good a person as possible both on and off the field of play. St. Mary's Ryken is committed to sponsoring an Athletics Program that provides its student-athletes with the opportunity to benefit from a well-rounded high school experience. We are proud to offer 26 varsity sports programs including 37 teams.
Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry is the heartbeat of St. Mary's Ryken! As a Catholic school, SMR helps to enrich the spiritual and sacramental growth of our students through daily Mass, theology class, daily prayer, service opportunities, mission trips, retreats and spiritual direction.
Student Life
St. Mary's Ryken supports a well-rounded education that includes a robust fine arts curriculum and various extracurricular activities.
Giving
When you support the Annual Fund or contribute to scholarships, academics, arts and athletics, YOU make a difference in the lives of every student. We are grateful for your support!

Your support is vital to what makes SMR extraordinary and provides the resources our students need to achieve in the classroom, create in the arts, excel in athletics and grow in faith while becoming more compassionate and caring young adults.
Facilities
Our 87-acre, waterfront campus offers a high school experience like no other in the Southern Maryland area. Our college-like campus prepares students for life after high school. Each day, students attend classes in six different buildings, allowing for plenty of time outdoors.
