Founded by seven communities of Catholic sisters and several lay women in 1999, Marian Middle School is the only all-girls private middle school in the St. Louis community serving urban adolescent youth in a faith-based environment.
Marian Middle School, a Catholic school welcoming adolescent girls of all backgrounds, is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. Marian fosters each student’s spiritual, academic, social, moral, emotional, and physical development from middle school through postsecondary education as a foundation for career success.
Marian Middle School’s vision is to serve as a leader in providing life-altering education. Marian graduates become accomplished young women equipped to make informed decisions and create enduring, positive change in their communities.
Grounded in Christian values, we model what it means to live a life of faith, while honoring the diverse traditions and heritage of all our students.
Marian is more than just a middle school. Marian’s life-altering education provides students with a robust academic foundation that features a cutting edge STEM program, and a dynamic array of enrichment opportunities. Our focus on building life skills like communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership build the confidence to tackle any challenge. Following middle school, Marian’s Graduate Support Program provides high school scholarships, and continuous mentoring and guidance to help students excel throughout high school, college, and into their careers.
Marian Middle School fosters a genuine respect for all individuals and recognizes each person as an unrepeatable creation of our loving God with unique, valued qualities.
Marian Middle School promotes family values; provides opportunities for each student to be a good family member; and serve the larger community in which her family resides.
Marian Middle School is grounded in respect for fair and just treatment of all and in building healthy relationships in a harmonious setting.
