Marymount’s Lower School program inspires true joy in learning. Students engage in active learning that draws upon their curiosity, imagination, and problem-solving skills, establishing a strong academic and socioemotional foundation for their educational journey.
Our Lower Middle School program continues to foster students’ intellectual and personal growth. Students draw connections across disciplines through robust cross-curricular collaborations. With an emphasis on effective communication, students begin to find their voice and hone their skills as clear and confident speakers and writers.
To apply, follow the process below and complete each step by the included dates.
