Grace

Mount Carmel has an environment that allows anyone and everyone to feel connected and at home. The friendships and memories that we make with our sisters will stay with us long after our time at MCA.

Abigail
Coming to Mount Carmel has opened my eyes to enjoying the small things in my faith, such as saying the Rosary or reading a daily scripture. I try to make my spirituality part of my daily life by taking moments to reflect and thank God.
Rebecca

The school spirit and pride at Mount Carmel are undeniable. From Spirit Day to Gym Day and everything in between, it’s clear that every student at MCA is proud to be a Cub

Sophie
MCA is a great place for girls to make new connections with people they may not have gotten to know otherwise. I feel like I’ve made lifelong friendships with my grade and best friends. Everyone at school is so kind to each other, and that’s what I love most about it.
