History

Mount Assisi Academy was established in 1951 by the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King. It has been located at its present address since 1955.[2]

Mount Assisi Academy, a comprehensive, Catholic high school for young women, was founded in 1951 at the present provincial center of the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King in Lemont Illinois. As enrollment increased, it was necessary to provide larger facilities and construction of the present building began in 1954.

The year 1955 marked the official opening of the new Academy building and Samuel Cardinal Stritch dedicated the new school in 1956. Along with the baby boom of the late 1950s into the 1960s, Mount Assisi continued to grow and thrive, necessitating the addition of three modular classrooms in 1969, and two in 1971, three more in 1981.

The 2010-2011 school year marked the beginning of the 2 year Celebration of the Academy's 60 year mission to the young women of the Chicago metropolitan area. There are in the region of 6,200 Mount Assisi Academy alumnae.

Academics

Daily classes consist of eight periods lasting 43 minutes each, and a 21-minute homeroom. Opportunities for independent study, as well as participation in co-curricular activities and athletics are also offered.

As a college preparatory, all-girl Catholic high school, Mount Assisi Academy attempts, in the spirit of St. Francis, to provide a holistic education for each young woman who meets the criteria of willingness to work and to become a Christian leader of the future.[2]

Faculty

Mount Assisi Academy, accredited by the State of Illinois and the North Central Association, is staffed by dedicated Sisters and lay faculty. Mount Assisi Academy is sponsored by the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King who collaborate in the Church’s mission of education, and recognizes the moral and ecclesial authority of the Cardinal and the Archdiocese of Chicago.
