“The sisterhood that came out of Montrose is something that I treasure. I received a great education and have lifelong friends with whom I still keep in touch, some of whom are the godparents of my children. ”Liz Rolwes ‘95
With decades of experience in single-sex education, we are uniquely suited to help young women flourish.
Every aspect of a Montrose education is aimed at answering the essential question: What do girls need to flourish and to become the best version of themselves for others?
We empower our girls by teaching them the way they learn best. Our rich liberal arts curriculum and nationally recognized character and leadership program are designed to educate and inspire young people – specifically, young women. Every aspect of our program, from our classroom design to our pedagogy, is designed to reflect how girls learn best.
Our outstanding faculty engage students in our academic program of core texts of the liberal arts.
This is alongside advanced math and science requirements, in a setting that encourages curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. A Montrose liberal arts education helps young women encounter and learn from the best of literature, theology, philosophy, history, science, math, technology/computer science, world languages, and fine and performing arts.
Our mentoring program gives every girl a coach to guide her.
Montrose students mature in confidence and flourish in collegiate life because of formative relationships forged with our faculty and mentors. Our students take the lead in student life, leadership and service. They gain a strong sense of belonging and agility that makes them stand out on university campuses and in the workplace.
Our outstanding faculty, staff, coaches and mentors create an environment where girls can take on challenges.
Girls learn to embrace opportunities in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities with confidence, joy and a spirit of adventure.
We value the dignity of each young woman and help her to reach her highest potential by developing the good habits of mind, heart and character she needs to use her freedom well.
