Mount Alvernia High School is a wonderful school, where the students are known and cared for. My daughter is currently an 11th grader and came mid-way through 7th grade after attending an intense BPS exam school. We chose Mount Alvernia High School for the emphasis on morals and the warm caring community. Our daughter has gained confidence and has felt comfortable enough to join in many sports and extracurricular activities that she has never tried before. We highly recommend this school.
