It accommodates classes 5 to 12 in class rooms across its seven-storey compound. The school has an indoor gymnasium - The STM Hall (named after the chairperson's husband), science and IT labs, and libraries. The cafeteria overlooks Scolastica's 'Red Court' - the outdoor five-a-side futsal pitch and basketball court. Scholastica has opened a campus in the heart of Mirpur. The campus also have facilities such as full scale swimming pool and auditorium.
