An Education of the Heart and Mind
Marymount stands for values, leadership, and social justice as much as academic rigor and intellectual achievement. From a dynamic, integrated curriculum to 18 advanced placement courses to its unique financial literacy and philanthropy initiatives, Marymount prepares young women for highly selective colleges and universities while fueling them with the passion to “challenge, shape, and change the world.”
Location, Location, Location
We enjoy easy access from all points of Manhattan and the boroughs. Our front yard is Fifth Avenue, Central Park and “Museum Mile.” The Metropolitan Museum of Art is our adjunct classroom and textbook.
The S.T.E.M. Initiative: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math for Girls
Through challenging research and experimentation, sophisticated problem-solving, and a hands-on approach to learning, Marymount encourages students to flourish in the areas of math and science, disciplines that are underrepresented by women. Because of its visionary initiatives in STEM, Marymount has been recognized as a pioneer by Apple’s Exemplary Program and the Discovery Channel’s Profile Series.
One Family, Three Homes
Our elegant Beaux-Arts mansions lend a welcoming atmosphere to our robust curriculum. In our Fifth Avenue buildings, Upper and Lower School students learn from each other as they develop Big Sister/Little Sister relationships. Our Middle School girls find “their own voices” at our second home, just off Fifth Avenue on 82nd Street. The spacious facilities at our 97th Street campus offer athletic, artistic, and innovative learning experiences in our state-of-the art STEM rooms, fabrication lab, and media center. With a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and happy, involved families, community is our middle name.
A Vibrant Network of 21 International Schools
A global education is possible through our international exchange programs, study tours, sports tournaments, concerts, immersions, and interschool service projects. Our 360 degrees of connection extend learning as far as Paris, London, Rome, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Cuernavaca, Bogota, and beyond.
An Independent School in the Catholic Tradition
While committed to its Catholic heritage, Marymount School respects the religious diversity of the community and seeks to give all students a deeper understanding of the role of the spiritual in life, an appreciation of individual religious traditions and a commitment to service.
Unity Through Diversity
We strive for balance, equity, and acceptance. We are 66% Catholic, 30% students of color, 23% on financial aid, 21% of our students have an international background, and 45% of our students live beyond the Upper East Side.
