School Reviews

I attended Marian from 5th to 8th grade (2012-2016) and had an amazing experience. The curriculum presented me with consistent challenges, pushing me to think critically and question the information around me. The faculty and staff supported my emotional and intellectual development with such care and finesse that I wish I could go through middle school twice. Their help has persisted throughout my time in high school and continues to this day for me as a college student! I recommend Marian 100% to any family looking to improve their daughter's future opportunities by providing her with a quality education in a challenging yet nurturing environment.
