“I so clearly remember my first visit to St. Martin’s when I was exploring schools for my children. It literally felt like I was stepping into a warm hug!  I met so many teachers and administrators who genuinely cared about both my children and my family.  I immediately felt so connected – and loved the feeling of investment.”

 — Parent of two Upper School students
