It is with deep regret and sadness that we must inform you of the unexpected and untimely death of Richard Rucci on January 15. He joined our staff in 1992 and retired in 2020. We shall always be indebted to him for the contribution he made to the school in his many roles, and to the numerous students he helped during his long career as an educator in the U.S., Korea and Japan.

Two of the Grade 10 students at Saint Maur International School have initiated a charity project in December 2020 and collected donations of cash and sanitary products for women who are homeless or receive a low income and therefore lack access to feminine hygiene products.
