Since the Sixth Century, St. Benedict's followers have lived the monastic life of worship and work, integrating a life of spirituality, scholarship and the formation of a Christian community. Today the monks of Mount Michael, together with dedicated lay men and women are committed to continuing the mission of St. Benedict.

      Mount Michael was founded in 1953 by Immaculate Conception Abbey in Missouri. It began as a high school and junior college for men preparing for the priesthood and was called St. John Vianney Seminary. In the spring of 1970, the monks decided that their resources and talents would be better utilized by the creation of Mount Michael Benedictine High School, a Catholic residential high school encompassing grades 9 through 12 with a focus on college-prep curriculum.
