Maur Hill–Mount Academy is a coed Catholic, college prep, boarding high school in Atchison, Kansas. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas and sponsored by the St. Benedict's Abbey (monastery) and Mount St. Scholastica (convent) in Atchison, KS. It became Maur Hill–Mount Academy with the merger of the two long established schools: Maur Hill Prep School (1919) was an all-boys school and Mount St. Scholastica Academy (1863), an all-girls school.
The student population is around 190-220 students (about 80-90 boarding and 100-120 day students from the surrounding area. Boarding students attend from many states across the US and approximately 50 of the boarding students are international students.
Regular high school courses, honors courses, college courses and AP courses are all available. Upper-level students also are able to take college courses at Benedictine College. The school accepts all students, regardless of gender or sexual identity.
It is accredited by AdvancED and maintains memberships or association in the Secondary School Admission Test Board, Catholic Boarding School Association, Small Boarding School Association, the Cardinal Newman Society, and the National Catholic Education Association.
Although an independent school with primary sponsorship from St. Benedict's Abbey and the Mount St. Scholastica Monastery, it is recognized and maintains connection with Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.[3]
