Perhaps the Mount was great years ago, but NOT any more. Most importantly, this school is not a true Catholic school. The adminstration is egotistical. The school is about keeping up with "the Joneses." Students go in innocent who become bullies. Culture is toxic for the students and those who are athletes and in clubs. Students are not empowered but are oppressed who learn to toe the line to get through the day. They do not know how to speak to the girls in a constructive manner and eventually students out smart the administration. Sadly the environment at the Mount fits the typical stereotype of an "All Girls School" and unfortunately nothing more. Girls can be catty and red flag when you see adminstration/staff doing the same. Pictures you see are a moment in time what happens behinds the scenes to get to the point is not worth $24K tution. It is understandable why recent alumnus are distancing themselves. My daughter was tranferred out and not many do as they feel trapped..Stay away!

Mount Saint Joseph Academy has been a great experience for my daughter and my family. From the president of the school, right down to the faculty, staff, and of course at the heart of it all, the students. The girls learn to take responsibility for their education here. I have met the finest, and kindest young women in this school. So glad to be a part of the Mount Family.

Show me the money should be this schools motto. What an embarraasment for Christians to call this one of their own. We were so disapointedby the reception we received there. My c daughter will not return. The only time rhey care for the poor or downtrodden is for a photo opt. Crazy as it seems but this time the apple DID fall right back under the tree and onto the root!

Attending Mount Saint Joseph Academy was the best decision I ever made. I graduated in 2012 and am currently enrolled at a competitive liberal arts college. MSJA provided me with the tools I need to succeed not only in college but in life. The friendships I made at MSJA will last for a very long time and are with some of the brightest, finest young women I have ever met.
