The Halifax Grammar School opened as a school for boys in 1958. Its founders created a school that encouraged average to above-average students to aim for excellence and, by doing so, to realize their potential. The school was a success from the start and soon outgrew its original Tower Road home. In January 1962, a newly-constructed building was opened on Atlantic Street, on a 2.5-acre site near Saint Mary's University in the south end of Halifax. Not long after, in 1964, the school acknowledged the broad demand for the type of education it offered and began to admit girls. As the school population grew, the Atlantic Street building grew with it. Library facilities and a gymnasium were added in 1973. Science labs, a music room, and a space for the first primary class were built in 1980. Finally, a major renovation was undertaken in 1987, which significantly reshaped both the façade and the interior and added more classrooms and an auditorium.

Saint Mary's traces its earliest beginnings to 1802 when the Reverend Edmund Burke, later Bishop Burke, taught young men at the Glebe House, on the corner of Spring Garden Road and Barrington Street. The boys' school grew first into a college and then into a university, never wavering in its commitment to education and community service.

During the 1990s the Muslim community in Halifax grew rapidly and exceeded 10,000 Muslims due to influx of new immigrants mostly from the Middle East region following the first gulf war. During that time, the Maritime Muslim Academy (used to be called Halifax/Dartmouth Islamic School) was using the Dartmouth mosque for its classes. Due to the progressively increasing numbers of Muslims, Dartmouth mosque became insufficient to accommodate school students. Furthermore, a large number of Muslims who worked in Halifax found it difficult to commute to Dartmouth during lunch hour to perform Friday prayers at Dartmouth Mosque. Therefore, Dalhousie Student Union Building (SUB) was used for the weekly Friday congregation to allow students and those who work in the Halifax area to perform their Friday prayers easier.
