An all-girls education at the Mount fosters collaborative growth, encourages critical thinking, and supports an environment where students are able to find their voices and lead with conviction.
Founded in 1892, Mount St. Dominic Academy is an Independent Catholic College Prep School for Girls located on a beautiful hilltop in Caldwell. The Mount is dedicated to the modern realization of our Dominican mission of educating and empowering young women to think critically, act compassionately, and discover their passions.
Championed by educators who specialize in how girls learn best, the Mount provides a unique blend of traditional liberal arts spanning nearly 80 courses, including 15 AP offerings, as well as Signature Programs that provide innovative, real-world educational opportunities such as a two-year Entrepreneurship Program (the L.E.O. Program), a Senior Capstone in Directed Research, and Academic Concentrations in health sciences and social justice.
Leadership and life skills, college prep, and career readiness are at the forefront of complementary elements of the curriculum, further strengthened by explorations of faith and service, 13 competitive varsity sports teams, an award-winning performing arts department, and much more. Mount students learn, lead, and love in an environment that fosters excellence, respect, authenticity, inclusivity, empathy, and integrity, and they continue to make an impact at leading colleges and universities nationwide.
