AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION See what a few of our Mount Agents of Transformation are doing after graduating from the Mount. When a student enters the doors of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, she enters into a legacy of sisterhood that spans more than 165 years. Long after they leave the Mount, our alumnae share a lifelong bond with their Mount sisters. These close ties help them to navigate the winding paths of life, whether it be post-secondary educational pursuits, career exploration and networking, or marriage and family, or retirement.

Temple University College of Public Health Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Kinesiology and Exercise Science “The Mount has contributed to my success through its academic rigor. By the time I was in college, I was more than prepared for the transition from a high school setting. I had already developed time management, organizational, and prioritization skills, which I use on a daily basis at work; developing these skills at a young age has bolstered my career advancement. The Mount also encouraged me to challenge myself in ways that I did not think possible. I remember learning about AP classes during freshman orientation and feeling like I wouldn’t be able to handle college level courses in high school. I ended up entering my freshman year of college with 18 credits because I took a number of AP classes and scored well on the exams. The Mount buoyed my sense of self and pushed me to achieve more than I thought I could.”

“In addition to being a ton of fun, the Mount offers the best academic preparation around. I was always challenged in my courses and had plenty of support from my teachers. The most noticeable academic skill I gained from the Mount was good essay writing. I entered college with a strong foundation and confidence in writing any type of paper, and this has not gone unnoticed by my professors at college. The block scheduling format also prepared me well and I am now used to longer class durations and a 5 course semester.”
