Instructional Support
A rigorous curriculum and excellent teachers are the cornerstones of the outstanding education that Mount de Sales’ offers. Great teachers and challenging classes require print and digital resources; training in pedagogy; tools to support students with learning differences and to challenge exceptional students; and opportunities to connect classroom lessons to real-life experiences.
Student Activities
Student activities provide important opportunities for students to develop character, critical thinking, problem-solving, team building, and leadership skills. Interest clubs, ministry activities, Mock Trial, theatre, and literary competitions provide a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context.
Athletic Program
More than 80% of MDS students participate in a competitive sport, and our teams are growing in talent and success. Our athletic program is committed to excellence and to developing student-athletes with strong character, discipline, work ethic, and physical fitness. Your gift to the Athletic Program provides for training, uniforms, travel to competitions, equipment, and other needs.
Tuition Assistance
In keeping with our founding mission, Mount de Sales serves students of all backgrounds. Each year more than 200 MDS families qualify for and need tuition assistance. Your support makes it possible for a diverse group of bright and talented students to have a Mount de Sales education.
