History
The Jesuits arrived in Sangamner in 1892 and at once opened a school, renting a house for teachers and boarders and using the municipal dharamsala (travellers’ rest-house) as a school.
In 1895 a ten-acre plot east of town was purchased and a building constructed. Soon after 1897 the large school hall and lodgings for masters, their families, and orphans were added. Today the school has hostels for both boys and girls.[1]
In 2015 St. Mary's had a 100% success rate for its 62 students who took the Senior Secondary School Certificate exam.[2] It is a member of the International Association of Jesuit Business Schools.[3]
