Saint Mary's School is a private independent Episcopal college-preparatory, boarding and day school for girls in grades 912. Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Saint Mary's School operates as an independent school with a historic affiliation with the Episcopal Church including an Episcopal chapel, St. Mary's Chapel, on the school's grounds. The school formerly operated as Saint Mary's College and for many decades educated young women in grades 1112 and their freshman and sophomore years in college. The school changed to a four year high school in 1998, at which point the name reverted to Saint Mary's School, the original name of the institution when it was founded in 1842.
