Offering its students an education immersed in the classics, Mariamante Academy provides a liberal arts education consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. This education is based on the "Ignatian method" which recognizes the primacy of the student's spiritual and intellectual formation. At Mariamante Academy, instruction in religious truths and values is an integral part of the school's program. It is not one more subject alongside the rest, but rather, is perceived and functions as the underlying reality in which the student's experiences of learning and living achieve their coherence and their deepest meaning.

The Ignatian contribution to education gives priority to Christian humanism with its emphasis on true human values, and its role in the formation of an integral human personality. This educational approach seeks to develop in the students the following capacities:

• Leadership
• Intelligent Obedience to Duly Constituted Authority
• Respect for the Significant Contributions of the Past
• The Christian Humanistic Habit of Mind
• Habits of Orderly Thinking
• Competency in the Arts of Expression
• Loyalty to the Holy See.

Mariamante Academy accepts students for Grades 7-12. While the Academy admits qualified students without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin, all students, including non-Catholics, must study Religion each year and must participate in religious activities and programs that take place during the school day.

Inquiries are welcome throughout the year. Applicants may visit the school for a tour and an interview on weekdays when classes are in session this fall. An academic placement examination and two interviews to assist admissions and placement decisions are required.

The Academy accepts applications throughout the year, but it is to the candidate's advantage to make application as early as possible. The application fee is $50. Decisions and notifications are made when an applicant's file is complete.

Presently, the administration is accepting admissions on a rolling basis. There is a maximum enrollment of 12 pupils in each class.

Mariamante Academy is accepting new students for the 2008-09 school year. Please print and fill out our application online.
