Limitless Learning

The academic excellence that the Mount is known for extends throughout the school in all we do. Young women at the Mount are consistently engaged in co-curricular programming—clubs, student activities and societies span the full range of student interest and inspire new passions from service organizations and performance groups to academic interest clubs such as Robotics, honor societies, and much more. The Mount Fine Arts program teaches technique and skill while allowing each students to discover their own uniquely creative voice and our acclaimed Mount Athletics program offers 13 sports that instill qualities of leadership, confidence, sisterhood and strength.

Following the Sisters of Saint Joseph tradition, students are unifiers who support their peers in all their endeavors. The Mount is a strong and resilient community built with active inclusive love. Daily Advisory time with adult and student leaders provides a space where there is an intentional focus on Academics, Mission, Community and Clubs. Students attend mission-focused and faith-centered retreats throughout their years at the Mount and engage in intentional and engaging Campus Ministry program that embraces all and leads our young women to Serve the Dear Neighbor.
