Mount Royal Academy

What makes the sacrifice for Catholic education worth the cost? We all need to simply be more human. Even before the era of mass education, Catholic religious orders were building institutions of learning that were accessible to all. The goal was to provide the basic tools for a flourishing life. Pope Paul VI once stated that the Church is first and foremost an “expert in humanity”. Mount Royal Academy teaches in this spirit: children must enter into that timeless conversation with the greatest thinkers and saints of all time, so they can better appreciate what it means to be human. How is this goal accomplished at MRA? The classically inspired curriculum respects the developmental stages of children, and at every stage, encourages them to be better thinkers, writers, and lovers of virtue. We direct attention towards the goodness of those in front of us, summoning that natural taste for joy in children, and showing them how to really encounter truth for its own sake.
