About Our School
Mount Michael Benedictine High School was created for the purpose
of helping to shape young men. We truly believe in our mission,
trusting that the surest - perhaps the only - way to change the
world is to work through our youth.
Academics
During his teenage years it is important that a young man concentrate
on his education. This, then, provides the focus for Mount Michael's
program. We offer an unsurpassed academic experience for students,
challenging them with a fast-paced college-preparatory curriculum that
rates amongst the best schools in the nation. Our program is designed
to provide students with the structure and discipline they will need
to succeed in college and the workplace.
Activities
School work is not the only area in which young men must learn
and grow, however. We offer complete programs in athletics and
in the
performing arts in order to augment the learning that our students
do inside the classroom. Our small size allows each student to
participate in a broader range of activities than he might find
at a larger school
- indeed, our ability to offer such a wide spectrum of activities
speaks to the kind of student who chooses Mount Michael, since
we could not sustain them without the enthusiastic support of
our student
body.
Living With Others
While our programs - academic, athletic, artistic - provide a framework
for comparing Mount Michael with other schools, what really sets
our school apart is its ability to reinforce the character
traits our families seek to instill in their sons. The small
size of our community strengthens the bonds students form with
one another,
so that they learn not just to get along with, but
to support and
encourage
friends who have widely varying interests and abilities.
Their experiences here reinforce the need for mutual respect,
for the humility to find
dignity even in the most mundane tasks, and for
the importance of behaving with honor at all times.
We are very proud of our work, and of the young men that have
graduated from our school. We invite you to learn more by continuing
to explore
this site, or by calling to arrange a personal visit from a Mount
Michael representative. We look forward to hearing from you.
