LoginThrough curricular programs, guest speakers, and travel opportunities, Marymount students become engaged participants in an interconnected global community. Marymount is part of an international network of RSHM schools – 21 schools in 9 countries that share common goals, values, and vision – which offers opportunities for language immersions, semesters abroad, study programs, concert tours, and sports festivals.
Travel & Exchange
Through mission-driven programs, students gain broader knowledge about world cultures, learn cross-cultural communication skills, and draw connections between themselves and people across the globe. Students choose from the following options:
In the fall of eighth grade, students participate in a bespoke European travel experience that is uniquely crafted for their age group and deeply connected to their academic studies. As part of this program, students travel to an RSHM school in Europe to collaborate with their global peers by engaging in activities and sports and exploring the campus of an international boarding school.
Students in Classes VII and VIII are invited to participate in a sports festival where they engage in friendly competition against other RSHM network schools. Students have recently competed in Rome, Paris, London, and Portugal.
Upper School students in Classes X-XII live with a host family and attend school in their target language during these three-week language or cultural immersion programs in Orleans, France; Madrid & Barcelona, Spain; Medellín & Barranquilla, Colombia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Rome, Italy. Students electing to enroll in the Global Programs Fieldwork course may receive academic credit for their participation in this unique exchange program.
Class X students may spend a semester of their sophomore year at Marymount London’s international boarding school in Kingston, England.
Annual global journeys explore diverse cultures and global issues of concern. This year, Marymount will offer two global journeys:
- The Marymount Odyssey will bring Marymount's unique Class IX Humanities curriculum to life by following the journey of The Odyssey in Greece
- Exploring the Arts will uncover the intersectionality of the dramatic, musical, and visual arts in Paris and Avignon, France.
Upper School students spend part of spring break learning from top Oxford University professors in a cohort of their choosing: literature and the arts, law and human rights, or science and the future.
Rooted in Marymount's mission, students will share a powerful service-learning experience connecting with RSHM-run schools and programs in Zambia. They will visit Victoria Falls, learn about wildlife conservation, and connect personally with students and sisters in RSHM schools.
Curriculum
A Marymount education prepares students with the knowledge and skills required to be critical and responsible participants in our interconnected global community. Courses and co-curricular offerings across divisions are intentional in their content, scope, and sequence in order to prepare students with depth and breadth of knowledge about the world, its peoples, cultures, religions, and geographic contexts. The academic program focuses on developing the essential skills of perspective taking and respectful communication, while also cultivating in students a strong sense of empathy, preparing them to promote the common good locally, nationally, and internationally.
Students in Classes X-XII who enroll in the Global Exchange Progam are also able to take a Global Programs Fieldwork course. This optional independent learning experience invites students to explore a topic of interest connected to their host country, collect meaningful data during their three-week exchange, and create a final product that reflects their learning.
RSHM Global
RSHM Global is an innovative education initiative designed to connect and inspire students and teachers across the Global Network of RSHM Schools. Rooted in the values and mission of the RSHM, the program builds a dynamic global learning community through forward-thinking, flexible courses and collaborative experiences. For students in Classes IX-XII, asynchronous course offerings include Global Entrepreneurship, Creativity & AI, Videography, and App Design with Playlab.ai. Educators may choose from a range of micro-courses on global education, the Sustainable Development Goals, and cultivating a creative mindset. In addition, both students and educators may participate in interactive webinars exploring timely global education themes. Those who complete three courses will earn the RSHM Global Certificate, recognizing their commitment to global learning.
