While Mt. Assisi may be a good school for some girls, it is not a good choice for girls who are serious about academics. After graduating and going on to a pretty good four year university, i was way way behind my fellow students. To say Mt. Assisi prepared me for college is a joke. The sciene department

To get any sort of academic preparation out of Mt. Assisi the student really has to push themselves, and take all honors classes, which are probably on par with regular classes at most public highschools. Case in point, dont go here if you actually want to excell in college or at least be competitive with other students!!! Read less

The 'Mount' as it is affectionately called, is a great college prep school. Students do not get 'lost in the crowd', there is a lot of one on one. Young women are empowered to be the best they can be! Faculty is great with a stong emphasis on faith and service. Great academic program and sports opportunities.

Good if you're an 'A' student but if you're just a 'C' student no real guidance, assistance, help or any care, at all, is provided. Pretty campus. 'Mobile' classrooms are ridiculous. Narrow minded.

Mt.Assisi was the best decision of my life. I really debated for a long time in 8th grade if it was right for me, however, after the first month of Freshman year, I knew I didn't make a mistake.

Assisi makes me just as important as the most popular, smartest, or most involved individuals, because at Mt. Assisi everyone is equal and special in our own ways. Read less

You can't beat Mount Assisi for a great education where kids feel really at home. Most go on to college.
