About the Host School: Saint Mary's Hall
A rich, rigorous curriculum. Insightful discourse. Expansive opportunities for exploring the world – and discovering oneself. Saint Mary’s Hall creates a culture of trust where every student is known – by teachers, each other, and in turn, themselves.
Saint Mary’s Hall was founded in 1879 on the principles of knowledge, self-confidence, and respect for others. Originally organized by the Episcopal Church, Saint Mary’s Hall is now an independent and coeducational campus for students and families of all faiths.

Sponsorship at our annual conference offers the best opportunity to connect directly with school decision-makers who are actively seeking trusted partners. Choose from four levels tailored to maximize your visibility and engagement.
Due to our member feedback and increased interest from new companies, we’re limiting the number of non-school representatives at the conference. As a sponsor, you’ll not only ensure your organization stands out but also have the opportunity to bring more representatives.
