Maur Hill – Mount Academy

At Maur Hill - Mount Academy, we take seriously our responsibility to “shape those who shape the future.” We are a private, co-ed college preparatory school steeped in 1500 years of Benedictine tradition. From the intimate connection with the Benedictine community and the nurturing 24-hour environment, to the intense learning experiences that are offered – the educational program and guidance offered by Maur Hill - Mount Academy will help shape students into the people they were created to be.

MH-MA students come to us from all over the world. During their time here, they are learning how to integrate into a world that continues to get smaller, learning how to adapt to – and respect – other cultures and personalities. When our students leave us, they are well-suited to thrive in – and influence – our changing world.

Recognizing that success is defined by more than a grade-point-average, our students are exposed to learning as a life long commitment. As a college preparatory school, our dynamic learning environment, dept hand quality of curriculum and affiliation with a nationally – recognized liberal arts college prepare students for success at the next level.
