École secondaire catholique Sainte-Marie-Rivier (Saint-Marie-Rivier Catholic High School) is a French language high school for grades 7–12 located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the St-François d'Assise parish. The school has an enrichment program for grades 7–8, which includes more projects (such as mandatory participation in the regional science fair) accompanied by more individual learning of the material normally covered during those grades. The school also provides a STEM focus program, the most renowned parts of which are 3D model creations/printing and robotics. There is a specialised Dance focus program, as well as a very well-ranked Hockey focus program. There are no AP nor IB options offered. Additional information can be found on the official school website.

History

École secondaire catholique Sainte-Marie-Rivier has a long-standing history in the Kingston community, calling many different locations home over the years. The school initially took the shape of a scattering of portables outside the much larger Regiapolis Notre Dame school in Kingston. In 1989, the Centre Culturel Frontenac spearheaded a campaign to find a new, improved location for the students as well as a location for the French community to organize events in the city. After years of seeking funding, and eventually renovating an existing textile factory, l'École Secondaire Catholique Marie-Rivier obtains its own building at 711 Dalton. Nearly two decades later, the school board (CECCE) obtains joint funding with the CEPEO from primarily the provincial government to construct a new building for the two French middle-high schools. After years of delays, the school is eventually opened in September 2023.
