Mary Help of Christians Academy Reviews

At my time at Mary Help of Christians Acadmey was overall a good experience. I loved that fact that it was an all girls school. This meant I could focus on my studies instead of trying to look good for the opposite gender. I loved the fact that we had iPads because it made learning more interactive and showed their interest in keeping the student up to date with technology. One thing I would change is the Athletic Department. Now a days people look for a school with a big athletic program and without it I believe that slowly, Mary Help will lose a lot of students.

I have worked at Mary Help of Christians Academy for several years. From the beginning I immediately noticed the authentic family atmosphere. As I walked through the halls on my first day, I was continuously greeted with warm welcoming smiles from both faculty and students. This has remained the case everyday since. The rapport between the faculty and students is one to be mentioned. They have a deep respect and appreciate for one another. This is a very, very special place.
As a faculty member for the last four years, I have valued the opportunity to not only be a teacher, but a complete educator. I am encouraged by administration to be invested in the success of every student, to accompany their complete growth, and to mentor their development of skills, self-confidence, and faith life. I wish I had a daughter to send here.
