I've grown so much in my years at Montfort. As an alum, I can truthfully say that Montfort is different. It is unique. They focus on the soul, character development, and so many other important areas in our lives that make us who we are.

My time at the school was interesting. Every year key parts of the faculty would change and they tried to start some sport programs my senior year. Those sport programs weren't advertised to the student body early enough in the year for there to be enough students gathered for teams or practices held for the teams to gel together. The classes taught were also a bit of a mixed bag of usefulness. With a lack of APs it was also hard to gain any residual benefits after graduation either. I find that the lack of extra curriculars or ways to boost academics made my application unimpressive while doing as much as I could that applied to my degree interest.

The school promotes learning through human interactions,...

The environment is warm and inviting. The faculty and staff really do care about each and every student. We are so thrilled th...

The first year our son attended was good when he received a B+ as his ending grade as a Freshman. Once, he moved onto the 10th and 11th grades, this is when he began to struggle with his grades and social issues with his peers. This is when the administrators failed to help him and decided to throw...
