Marymount School

What Marymount School does

Marymount School of New York is an independent, all-girls Catholic private school founded in 1926, serving students from preschool (age 3.5) through 12th grade across two Upper East Side campuses: the original Fifth Avenue building (Nursery–Class V) at 1026 Fifth Avenue, and a new 155,000-square-foot LEED Gold certified Upper Campus at 115 East 97th Street that opened in September 2023 to house Classes VI–XII. The school is guided by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM) order and delivers a college-preparatory curriculum organized into five divisions — Early Childhood, Lower School, Lower Mid, Upper Mid, and Upper School — supplemented by an Arts & Innovation program, competitive athletics across roughly 12 sports, spiritual formation, and college counseling that has placed graduates at Cornell, Harvard, Barnard, Princeton, and UPenn. The school also operates Marymount Summer, a co-ed day camp (30+ years old) offering STEAM, drama, and sports programming for children ages 3.5 through rising 9th graders.

The institution's revenue model is dominated by recurring tuition from enrolled families, supplemented by an Annual Fund ($2.9 million raised in 2022-2023 with 89% parent participation) and a $60 million Capital Campaign launched in 2016 to fund the new Upper Campus. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees and, effective July 1, 2025, is led by Ms. Lorraine Riley as its second lay Head of School. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer: families apply through the school's website and an online portal (myschoolapp.com), and enrollment draws primarily from the five boroughs of New York City and beyond.

The "technology stack" is primarily physical — state-of-the-art science laboratories, makerspaces, a Fab Lab, a Design & Engineering Studio, theater, gymnasium, and outdoor learning spaces — with no proprietary software platform or AI/ML capability disclosed. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), an annual Legacy Magazine, open houses, and a Benefit Gala. Customer outcomes include 50–60% student participation in athletics, sustained ISFL/AAIS league championships in fencing, volleyball, and lacrosse, and a string of individual student honors including the Gates Scholarship, National Merit Scholar, and Regeneron ISEF qualification.
