St. Mary’s Ryken High School
Leonardtown, Maryland
In the spirit of its founders, St. Mary's Ryken prepares young men and women to become loyal, intelligent and self-directed persons. Drawing inspiration from the Gospel and the charisms of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and the Xaverian Brothers, our mandate is to teach as Jesus did and to reach out to all through Christian service. Essential to the educational methodology is the characteristic of living in Concordia. St. Mary's Ryken recognizes that each individual is unique and gifted with innate goodness. The school community encourages the respect for and appreciation of diversity, and nurtures a faith-filled view of existence. A student's intellectual growth is encouraged to flourish in an environment not hampered by undue competitiveness. Students experience diverse and progressive opportunities in academics, fine arts, athletics, student activities and campus ministry.
