Marymount School of New York is a college preparatory, independent, Catholic day school for girls in grades Nursery-XII. The School was founded in 1926 by Mother Marie Joseph Butler as part of a global network of schools directed by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. Marymount seeks to educate young women who continue to question, risk, and grow - young women who care, serve, and lead - young women prepared to challenge, shape, and change the world.
