My experience at Mount De Sales Academy was generally pretty positive. At first, I struggled with being a minority student, and I found it frustrating that there was no Black Student Union, much like there is at most other schools in the area. However, at Mount De Sales, I feel I was very well prepared for college. I think that the course work was challenging and at times overwhelming, but I think that this is what has helped me to feel as well prepared for college as I do now.

MDSA Thoroughly prepared My daughter for college. She has told me on more than one occasion that the projects and homework and classes at Mount the sales more than prepared her for college. She is actually said that homework is harder amount of sales been at her four year university

The beginning of freshman year was amazing, as the year progressed things changed especially the people and drama unfolded which caused so much stress and insecurity on me. I wish the week before mid terms and finals we were not working on projects or homework so that I was not hoarding my days with work when I should be studying. Overall I did not like it, the atmosphere is to snobby and uncomfortable.

I'd give it 0 if I could. If you don't mind that they provide "opportunity" for your child earn service hours for walking to a nearby abortion facility to pray outside, then it is definitely the school for you. They peacefully prayer for "all of the victims of abortions and for the conversion of tho...

I loved the friends that I made and the teachers that I encountered, and they gave me a good education that will help me in the future. Their activities were fun and unique. But this school needs an admin overhaul and a huge shot of diversity. At the time of this writing they are hiring a new VP...l...

Humiliating and exhausting. Everything in the school is heavily censored, students are exhausted and overworked, the homework load is insane, students can’t express themselves safely, and many girls who walked in with great time management skills, enthusiasm, and mental health walk out completely st...
