I currently have two daughters enrolled and highly recommend the Mount. One of my daughters is highly interested in STEM and the all-girls environment has done wonders for her interest and pursuit of opportunities in this field. At every step in their high school journey, resources and support have been available to my girls to help them achieve their potential.

In this crazy Covid19 pandemic, the Mount simple excels. We have been blown away with the quality of online instruction that our daughter is receiving from the Mount. They were the most prepared of any school to jump right into online learning. In more "normal" times - the Mount doesn't have snow da...
