THE MARYMOUNT
Difference
.
We educate with the purpose of shaping young women to become leaders for the future 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 2021 chose Marymount:
“
I knew Marymount would be a good fit for me because I knew I would get a well-rounded education — not just in academics, but also in extracurricular activities and
”
my own personal growth. The academics are challenging, but my teachers will help me grow in this area!
–Avery D.
“
The most memorable thing for me was that everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. The
”
girls that I met were welcoming, friendly, and enthusiastic. Their excitement was truly infectious. I instantly knew that Marymount would be a great fit for me.”
“
–Sophia S.
I love the balance between academics and clubs at Marymount. Most importantly, Marymount shares the same values as me. Marymount encourages service, emphasizes
”
confidence and leadership, and teaches morality.
–Jennifer K.
