What our parents are saying...
Anna transferred to MSM from an area public school where she was one in a class of over 400… finding a home at the Mount, where she is supported, cheered on and cared for by her teachers and friends has been everything for our daughter.
– Parent of Mountie ‘28
Sending our daughters to MSM was about more than just academics; it was about finding a place where they’re truly seen, challenged, and supported to become their best selves. That personalized attention and strong community? You just don’t get that everywhere.
– Ben & Melissa ‘93 Richey, parents ‘27
Seeing the way my daughter has blossomed during her first year at the Mount has been so rewarding. It makes our daily commute from the Southtowns so worth it.
