Mount de Chantal's Montessori Program

Founded in 1970, Mount de Chantal’s Montessori Program has an enduring tradition of excellence. The experienced teachers at Mount Montessori strive to instill a lifelong love of learning in their students. Each classroom is staffed by a Montessori-trained teacher who is a member of the American Montessori Society and a trained assistant. Our teachers and staff welcome and appreciate each child’s individual learning style and pace.

Mount de Chantal's Elementary Program

The Elementary Program at Mount de Chantal is co-educational and includes grades one through six. Enrollment is limited to 16 students per grade level to ensure an excellent student-to-teacher ratio. The faculty inspires students to acquire an enthusiasm for adventure, a lively curiosity, and a love of learning. The curriculum emphasizes a solid mastery of basic skills, the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as creativity in expression.

Mount de Chantal's Secondary Program

The Secondary Program at Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy encompasses grades seven through twelve, which has always been for young women only. In response to the needs of our students, Mount de Chantal has designed the Pathways to Success curriculum, which lets students select a level of challenge appropriate to their interests and abilities. They can choose a traditional, slightly accelerated or accelerated path to graduation. Pathways balances a student’s academic interests and strengths. Through this unique program, Mount girls may also jumpstart their college education by earning not only Advanced Placement credit, but by earning college credits at Wheeling Jesuit University, whose campus adjoins ours. Our students have the opportunity to take English, Math, History, Computer Science, and other courses at Wheeling Jesuit University.
