Shattuck-St. Mary's (also known as Shattuck-St. Mary's School, Shattuck, or simply SSM) is a coeducational Episcopal-affiliated boarding school in the city of Faribault, Minnesota. 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. It is now known for its Centers of Excellence programs in engineering, BiosScience, The Major, pre-conservatory music, and vocal performance, as well as hockey, soccer, figure skating, and golf. Approximately 80% of its students are boarders.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}

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.{{cite web | url=https://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/news/shattuck-shuts-down-school-in-beijing-still-plans-for-major-international-expansion/article_4a1f4bd6-4f75-5791-8521-d73b889d8e10.html | title=Shattuck shuts down school in Beijing, still plans for major international expansion | date=August 30, 2016 }} Another campus was planned to open in Suzhou in 2017.{{cite web | url=https://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/news/ssms-newest-campus-in-china-embraces-new-independent-school-model/article_e2646e53-44c5-5808-990c-9f5f80452887.html | title=SSM's newest campus in China embraces new independent school model | date=July 31, 2017 }}
