THE MARYMOUNT

Difference

We educate with the purpose of shaping young women to become future leaders who will enact change for the common good. At Marymount, it’s not about being the best in the world, it’s about being the best for the world. Here’s why a few members of the Class of 2022 chose Marymount:

“

I love the small, Catholic-school environment at Marymount. I feel most secure at a school where I know my classmates and religion is part of my education. My teachers are really interested in their students,

”

and they make learning challenging and fun. I can see and feel that my Sailor Sisters are happy to be here.

– Kelly B.

“ ”

After spending my elementary and middle school years in a co-ed school, I look forward to developing a sisterhood that teaches girls the importance of sticking together and supporting each other.”

“

I learn best when I actually touch and feel things, so I am thankful that Marymount teachers don’t just teach with a textbook — they teach with experiments, crafts, and labs.

”

– Tori H.
