Make High School YOUR BEST YEARS! takes you there!

all GIRLS

High School is a time for new beginnings… lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and invaluable opportunities. We believe that a school FOR GIRLS is better than a school WITH girls. We believe that academic excellence, leadership skills and confidence flourish best in an environment with a sole focus on empowering young women. A McAuley education is transformative. Our rigorous academics lay a strong foundation for our students, who go on to find great success and fulfillment in college and beyond.

“McAuley has faculty and staff that genuinely care about the students. There is always a teacher free, willing to help me solve a math problem that I was struggling with, or help me finalize my essay.”

Our liberal arts curriculum encourages you to ask different questions, explore unfamiliar terrain and indulge your passion for discovery. We create an environment where our students can be leaders in and out of the classroom. They are encouraged to become self-motivated learners who are creative, empathetic and open-minded. As a Catholic school, founded by the Sisters of Mercy and rooted in the Mercy tradition, Mother McAuley is committed to fostering an environment that honors the dignity of every individual.

Ministry is at the heart of our mission as a Catholic school and supports the spiritual development of our students. McAuley offers students a number of opportunities to follow in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley and examine their relationship with God, self and others, through discussion, reflection, service and prayer.

KAIROS RETREATS

McAuley students have inherited a great tradition and a great challenge: to preserve their faith and make it grow, to have the courage to live by the Catholic values they believe in, and to be educated women who will respond to the needs of others.

McAuley allows girls to explore their creativity and express themselves artistically.

Our state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and esteemed faculty provide the perfect environment for our girls to gain the confidence to star in our musicals, build sets for our productions, design our yearbook, decorate our hallways with original artwork, and fill our hearts with music.

“McAuley’s promotion of creativity and exploring the arts makes it particularly unique compared to other schools. As I walk along the hallways, I see the artwork of my fellow peers and admire their talents. As I pass D-wing, I hear the melodic voices of my peers and the stomps of their shoes as they coordinate their movements.”
