Saint Maur Students Join the Tournament of Champions at Yale University As some students have noticed, five students were not seen at school for more than a week earlier this month, as they were away to New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States to attend the World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions.
Last week, as part of their Semester 1 excursion, the Grade 11 students visited the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), located in the Nihonbashi district. The first part of the experience was a brief video explaining how the stock market works and how it developed in Japan.
Saint Maur International School is Japan's leading Trinity Music Examination Centre and every year in May, many of our students (in addition to many external candidates) take these qualifications.
Participating in the student exchange program with Yokohama Science Frontier High School (YSFH) was an eye-opening, once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was in a world of advanced learning and vibrant cultural exchange, an experience I’ll carry with me throughout my life.
At Saint Maur International School, academic excellence is not only measured through classroom learning, but also through the performance of our students in rigorous, externally-administered examinations. Each year, students across different grade levels challenge themselves with assessments such as the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma examinations. These results provide valuable benchmarks, both for students as they prepare for future studies, and for the school as it continues to nurture a culture of achievement and resilience.
June 6th was a day filled with both joy and reflection, as the Class of 2025 was officially bid farewell at a deeply moving Graduation Mass. Held at Sacred Heart Cathedral and presided by Fr Raju, the ceremony marked the end of a significant chapter in the lives of our graduating students and offered a moment to celebrate all they have achieved.
Between May 26-28, the graduating class of 2025 visited Izu Ōshima for their Senior Trip. They spent three memorable days on the beautiful Tokyo island, just off the coast of Izu peninsula.
A very challenging component of the IB Chemistry course is the IB Chemistry Investigation (IA). Students research the literature, propose a unique research question, design an experimental protocol, and carry out the practical phase (approximately 10 hours) to collect data.
Our Days of Reflection offer students the chance to step back from their regular routines and come together as a cohort to engage with one of the Saint Maur Essential Outcomes (SMEOs) through meaningful conversations, games, hands-on challenges, and group bonding. This year, the focus for Grade 10 was on what it means to be balanced learners.
Last Friday, our Grade 6 and 7 students transformed the Cougar Café into a vibrant hub of scientific discovery at this year’s Middle School Science Fair where they proudly presented their projects to an audience of teachers, parents, peers, and guests from Yokohama Science Frontier High School.
