Welcome

A small, intimate school where every child is known by name.

Located in the quiet NHC Iyumbu Estate neighborhood, Hail Mary is built around modern classrooms, an art room, a library and technology room, and a fenced playground. Our small classes and low student-to-teacher ratios let us nurture personal initiative, creativity and curiosity in every child.

Our pre-school program is offered in both English and French, with French introduced as early as the toddler years.
