Critical and creative thinking are the heart of the
Mount curriculum, students are active participants
in their own learning in an environment that fosters
competence, enthusiasm, and intellectual curiosity.
One hundred percent of Mount seniors are
accepted into college.
Faculty and staff know each student by name
and offer the best instruction based on each
student's unique abilities. An 8:1 student-teacher
ratio ensures that students develop the skills and
confidence they will need to excel in higher
education.
An all-girls environment has a proven record of
promoting confidence, independence, and
successful academic performance. Left to their own
devices, girls will take on challenging subjects and
engage wholeheartedly in activities. There are no
limits to what they can accomplish.
Not only is leadership taught through books and
courses at the Mount, but it’s reflected through a
combination of involvement in clubs, activities and
organizations. It allows students to gain knowledge
of their personal strengths, to benefit from
experiences, and develop strong interpersonal skills.
Mount Saint Mary Academy is proud of its longtime
traditions, many of which date back to the school's
founding in 1908. These special events serve as
hallmarks of the Mount experience.
Service is an integral part of the culture at the
Mount. On any given day, one can find a group of
students organizing a talent show to benefit disaster
relief, a club providing food for a food pantry, or a
team preparing for a race to fund cancer research.
Athletics provide a significant opportunity to
instill the qualities of personal integrity, honesty
and self-discipline. Competitive athletics demand
dedication, excellence, and determination. The
athlete puts forth the best of herself and, together
with her team, represents the best of the Mount.
The Mount offers an educational environment
that best prepares students for technological
realities. A one-to-one computing environment
that offers an in-house staff of experts who
ensure technology is integrated.
Our goal is to lead and counsel our students to
obtain the maximum amount of college
scholarship monies available, striving to surpass
our 2015 record of $14 million award.
