Mount Alvernia Academy
About
Mount Alvernia Academy is an independent Franciscan Catholic elementary school in Newton, a few minutes from Boston. It is co-ed and enrolls children from preschool through grade 6, and while it is rooted in Franciscan Catholic tradition, it is open to all. The school’s stated aim is for each child to be known, loved, nurtured and challenged to reach their full potential.
The academy is celebrating its centennial, marking 100 years of Franciscan education and a legacy of faith, learning and community that has shaped generations of students; parents have chosen the school for almost a century. Its campus is made up of three buildings. Members of the school community include alumni who have come back as teachers and parents, such as an alum who now teaches third grade.
