School Notes

Montrose is an independent school for girls in grades 6-12, guided by the teachings of the Catholic church.
Montrose calls young women to greatness of mind, heart and character so they may discover their noble purpose and transform the world for the good.
At Montrose, we believe that each girl is unique, unrepeatable and called by God to greatness. We offer a rich liberal arts education, a nationally recognized character and leadership program, and a unique partnership with parents.
The call to greatness begins with building habits of mind, heart and character in classes unique to Montrose, led by faculty who are experts in teaching girls. Girls move from passive to active learning, putting them in the driver's seat of their own education.

What if "college-ready" meant more than a high GPA?
Colleges often refer to the gap they see between the skills most schools teach and the habits actually needed to thrive in college and beyond - like cognitive flexibility, creativity and sound judgment. At Montrose, we're closing that gap.
It starts with the LifeCompass Program, our nationally recognized character and leadership program woven into everything we do. In Habits of Mind class, 6th graders explore brain science to learn how they learn best. Seniors take on a Capstone project, wrestling with complex issues and proposing realistic solutions. And every girl benefits from having a personalized mentor in her corner, serving as her coach and guide.
Whether our girls are reading Dante, studying metaphysics, or building robots, our liberal arts foundation teaches them to reflect deeply upon life's enduring questions.
This is what greatness of mind, heart, and character looks like.
Come visit the campus with two new regulation-size turf athletic fields and restored wetlands for science and art exploration. Located in the heart of historic downtown Medfield, Montrose is an independent school for girls in grades 612, guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church.
