History
Established in 1858 as an Episcopal mission school and seminary, within a decade the school grew to include Shattuck Military Academy, St. Mary's Hall for girls and later in 1901 St. James School for younger boys. In 1974, the three schools dropped all military programs and combined as Shattuck-St. Mary's.[2]
In 1871, a St. Mary's biology instructor discovered a federal- and state-listed endangered species, the dwarf trout lily, on the school's campus.[3][4]
Cannon River STEM School, a K-8 charter school, was a tenant on the St. James campus from 2009 until its closure in 2025.[5][6]
SSM opened an expansion school at the Beijing Bayi School in Beijing, China in 2013, but ended the partnership in 2016 over disagreements regarding control and funding.[7] Another campus was planned to open in Suzhou in 2017.[8]
In 2018, SSM opened its first dedicated international campus in Forest City, Johor, Malaysia.[9] In June 2024, the school rebranded as Forest City International School and ended its association with SSM.[10]
Faculty and sex abuse of minors
In 2012, drama teacher Lynn Seibel was arrested and pleaded guilty to several counts of sexual abuse and one count of using minors in a sexual performance; he was sentenced to prison.[11] Court filings and depositions from a subsequent lawsuit against the school revealed that administrators and attorneys had known of Seibel's criminal behavior since 2003, but had not contacted authorities, even when Seibel went on to teach at other schools.[12][13]
