Mission Statement
Mount  St.  Michael  Academy,  in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and the  Marist Brothers, provides  a rigorous,  value-centered,  college preparatory  education to a family  and brotherhood of  young  men,  fostering each  student’s  unique  potential  for personal  excellence,  and  striving  to help our  diverse  students grow in maturity as  healthy,  well-rounded,  service oriented  leaders.

Philosophy
Mount Saint Michael Academy is a mission of the Roman Catholic Church. The school is entrusted to the Marist Brothers and to those dedicated laymen and laywomen and religious of other congregations who join with the Marist Brothers in this apostolate. This mission emanates from a belief in the fundamental precepts of the Gospel and aims to proclaim and give witness to the Gospel. This mission is marked by the charism of the founder of the Marist Brothers, St. Marcellin Champagnat, namely: simplicity, family spirit, love of work, and devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Mount Saint Michael Academy seeks to cooperate with families as they strive to fulfill the responsibility given to them by the Church, specifically the Christian education of their children.
