Our Mission
MOTHER McAULEY LIBERAL ARTS HIGH SCHOOL is a Catholic educational community committed to providing a quality secondary education for young women. In the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy and their foundress, Catherine McAuley, we prepare students to live in a complex, dynamic society by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively, respond compassionately to the needs of their community and assume roles of Christian leadership. In partnership with parents, we empower young women to acknowledge their giftedness and to make decisions with a well-developed moral conscience. We foster an appreciation of the diversity of the global community and a quest for knowledge and excellence as life long goals.
Our Philosophy
The liberal arts curriculum encourages the student to develop an ability to think critically and communicate effectively. Exposure to the fine arts within this liberal arts curriculum fosters a greater appreciation of creativity and beauty in our complex, technological society. Mother McAuley seeks to challenge the student on every level. Participation in a variety of educational experiences prepares her to continue her education successfully on post-secondary levels. By setting high standards for each student, Mother McAuley hopes to instill a quest for knowledge and excellence as a life-long process.
In the words of Catherine McAuley, Mother McAuley High School firmly believes in the "careful instruction of women". In this mission, it teaches the value of education and creative thought in a constantly changing world, it promotes the dynamic role of women in the family, Church and society, and it challenges each young woman to develop fully her God-given talents.
Mother McAuley is a Catholic Liberal Arts High School for young women.
