Yes, Saint Maur is a Catholic founded school where moral values govern all that we do to help students, parents and staff reach their full potential. Respect is given to each member of our multi-faith, multi-national school community. We do not pressure students to convert to Catholicism or Christianity. Catholic students are prepared for First Communion and Confirmation separately, at the request of their parents.

While Saint Maur offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, we do offer preparation and guidance for students who wish to take Advanced Placement exams for college credit.

Saint Maur has a unique cooperation between the Fine Arts and Athletics Departments so that practices and rehearsals are on different days. Therefore, our students are able to participate in a wide variety of activities.

We belong to a group of ten international and U.S. military schools, with which we participate in various competitive fine arts, academic, and sports events.

Popular activities include speech contest, brain bowl, vocal and instrumental groups, drama, artscape, volleyball, cross-country, soccer, basketball, and baseball.

Since the local transportation in Japan is among the safest and most reliable in the world, we do not offer a bus service to and from school. Many students use local transportation or ride bicycles to campus. The school does, however, provide a bus service for many educational and extracurricular trips. While the construction of the Cougar Café, Activity & Sports Center takes place, a limited bus service is available to Montessori and Gr.1 pupils until 2021 on it anticipated completion.

The student-teacher ratio at Saint Maur is generally 7:1.

Our curriculum is particularly strong in natural sciences and the visual and performing arts, thanks to our state-of-the-art Fine Arts Center and Science Center. The Robotics Lab, Computer Labs and other spaces on campus provide our students the necessary curricular resources which prepare our students for the businesses of the future.
