Curriculum
The selection of an educational program is one of the most important decisions that a student can make. At the Mount, both our Studies Office and Counseling Office work with students as they plan their program of study, assess their aptitudes and past scholastic achievements. The course selections will take their college and vocational goals into account along with areas of interest and strength. We encourage students to discuss their educational goals with parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and siblings.
