Marmion Academy is a school that has allowed me to grow as a student, an athlete, and a person as a whole. The bonds at Marmion are unlike any other school.

Attending Marmion made me a better person and helped me grow academically and spiritually. There were lists of different opportunities to get involved within the school. I have been involved in drill team, fishing team, spike ball, and CPARC. Marmion has given me opportunities that I would have not gotten at another high school.

It can be tough entering a school where you know no one, however, Marmion is a bit different than expected. Walking into the school doors the first few days-all the way till now in my junior year I have been met with sense of brotherhood. I have made many new and endless friendships. The teachers also seem to care about you and want you to succeed. I know that going into college will be a transition I can take on with ease after attending this college prep academy.

Marmion's strong academic curri...

We could not have made a better investment in our son than his Marmion education. We feel confident from witnessing his growth that he is not only prepared to be accepted by an excellent university, but he will also do well in completing his college education honorably. We are very grateful for the...
