Marymount’s intentional and holistic approach to health, wellness, and student support helps students thrive as strong, resilient, and well-adjusted young women. As they navigate childhood and adolescence, students learn to manage emotions effectively, study efficiently, and connect with others authentically.

Health

From Nursery through Class XII, social and emotional learning is taught at age-appropriate levels in the health curriculum. In the younger grades, students focus on building healthy peer relationships, navigating conflict, and being direct and authentic in their communication. In the Upper Mid and Upper Schools, students build a framework for responsible decision-making as they deepen their discussions of social media, alcohol, drugs, dating, friendship, mental health, and identity. The Peer Assistant Leaders (PALs) program provides a teacher-free platform for freshmen to learn from upperclassmen in psychoeducational small groups. 

Wellness and Counseling

Committed to the understanding that lifelines to trusted adults foster belonging and success, Marymount creates space for all students to feel connected and be authentically known. In addition to faculty, coaches, and advisors who can be such lifelines, Marymount is staffed with seasoned counselors and psychologists that help students engage in problem-solving skills and manage complex situations that often evolve during the middle and high school years. Throughout all divisions, ongoing parent education and collaboration allows for reinforcement of skills learned in school, facilitates open communication between students and their parents, and establishes an ongoing partnership between the School and the parent body.

Learning

Marymount is committed to investing in each student's individual strengths and cultivating a supportive learning environment that addresses the educational, cognitive, and social needs of that particular child. Meeting each child exactly where they are, our faculty and learning specialists support and challenge students every step of the way through differentiated instruction and individualized attention.
