VI-XII Admissions
In Marymount’s Upper Middle School, students build agency and ownership of their learning as they gain independence inside and outside of the classroom. Our project-based learning program sparks student-driven inquiry, critical thinking, resiliency and meaningful collaboration with peers.
Our Upper School program develops confident, capable, compassionate leaders who advocate with conviction for themselves and others. Through rigorous required courses and dynamic electives students take intellectual risks, exercise creativity and innovation in solving real-world problems, and invest in their own unique gifts as they shape their future.
