The Marian Advantage

More Time to Learn

Our 10-month school year and extended day (8:00 AM – 5:30 PM) provide the time needed for deep learning, enrichment, and exploration.

Small Classes, Big Support

Your daughter is known by name and receives individualized attention from talented, caring teachers.

Strong Core

All students take social studies, language arts, math, and science, as well as religion to gain a solid foundation.

Study Hall & Independent Reading

Dedicated study hall and independent reading 2-3 days a week, with tutors available every single day.

Data-Driven Growth

We don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” curriculum. We leverage specialized testing to identify each student’s optimal learning path and potential.

Daily Check-ins

Through “Homebase” and weekly “Student Advisory,” Marian students track their goals and course-correct with teachers as needed.

Self-Advocacy

On Fridays, “WIN Time” (What I Need) gives students the space to catch up on work and learn the self-advocacy skills vital for high school and college success.

A Day
in Her Life

Balanced, Productive, and Safe

For a busy parent, the 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. schedule isn’t just about school; it’s about peace of mind. You can work your day knowing your daughter is in a safe, productive environment where her homework is getting done, her belly is full, and she is discovering new passions.

While at Marian, students develop critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and life skills that will take them successfully into the next chapter of their academic career. The school year begins in early August and ends in early June. Our school day runs from 8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and includes:

Community Connection: Daily all-school assemblies and prayer center her heart and build her sense of belonging.

Rooted in Faith

MMS Assembly

We believe every student is an unrepeatable creation of a loving God.
While grounded in the Catholic tradition, Marian welcomes families of all backgrounds.

Faith in Action

Weekly Chapel

Every Thursday, our community gathers for Chapel. Services rotate between Catholic Mass and interdenominational prayer services where we welcome pastors from our students’ own churches. Our speakers tailor their message to address the struggles that our students might be facing, ensuring this time truly speaks to their hearts. Our student choir is a weekly highlight bringing joy to all who attend. Parents, families, and donors are welcome!

Religion in the Classroom

Students take religion classes three times a week. Students are challenged to apply these tenets to their own traditions, introduced to world religions, and guided through personal moral development.

Daily Prayer

We begin and end every school day with prayer, centering our minds and hearts before and after our studies.

Seasonal Celebrations

In addition to honoring Christian holidays and observances, like the Feast of our Lady of Guadalupe, we also celebrate Catholic Schools Week with a student favorite – Gospel Karaoke.
