Mission Mission
With Mary as our model and St. Marcellin Champagnat as our guide, Mount St. Michael Academy, established and conducted by the Marist Brothers, educates young men of diverse backgrounds in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church to become academically prepared through the foundation of a challenging, college-preparatory curriculum in a well-disciplined and safe environment, while developing a moral commitment to the service of others. The Mount St. Michael community strives to emulate St. Marcellin's passion for making Jesus known and loved by students and for teaching them to live with "a heart that knows no bounds."
 Philosophy
Mount Saint Michael Academy is a mission of the Roman Catholic Church. The school is entrusted to the Marist Brothers and to those dedicated laymen and laywomen and religious of other congregations who join with the Marist Brothers in this apostolate. This mission emanates from a belief in the fundamental precepts of the Gospel and aims to proclaim and give witness to the Gospel. This mission is marked by the charism of the founder of the Marist Brothers, St. Marcellin Champagnat, namely: simplicity, family spirit, love of work, and devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Mount Saint Michael Academy seeks to cooperate with families as they strive to fulfill the responsibility given to them by the Church, specifically the Christian education of their children.
