Mount Saint Agnes Academy

What Mount Saint Agnes Academy does

Mount Saint Agnes Academy (MSA) is a 136-year-old, independent Catholic day school operating as a registered Bermuda charity (Charity #220) from a single campus at 19 Dundonald Street West, Hamilton, Bermuda. The school serves students from the Early Learning Program (ages 3-5) through Grade 12, structured into four academic divisions — Early Learning/Kindergarten, Elementary (Grades 1-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), and High School (Grades 9-12). It is an Alberta Accredited International School that delivers the Alberta Curriculum framework and confers an internationally recognized Alberta High School Diploma at graduation.

MSA's offering spans core academics plus Art, Music, and Physical Education at the elementary level; whole-child developmental programming at the middle school level; and individualized Four-Year Education Plans for high school students, supported by College & Career Counselling, the National Honor Society, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, Rotary Interact Club, Athletics, and an After School Program. The technology stack supporting delivery is conventional: a WordPress content site, WooCommerce-based merchandise store, and the Edsby parent/student learning portal, alongside standard security plugins (iThemes Security, Wordfence) and social integrations.

The business model is a tuition-driven nonprofit with diversified supplementary revenue. Primary revenue is recurring tuition for ELP through Grade 12. Secondary streams include standardized fee-based document services (transcripts, report cards, reference letters at $15-$100 per request; exam invigilation at $50/hour), branded merchandise sales through an in-house WooCommerce storefront, and donations/fundraising via the Home & School Association (a separately registered charity #200), an Annual Giving Campaign, the Auditorium Project, alumni events, and an annual Golf Tournament (which raised ~$33,500 in 2026). Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: prospective families are reached through information sessions, campus tours, alumni referrals, and word-of-mouth across a multi-generational family network, with organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), the Blue & White newsletter, and the recently launched The Saint magazine (Fall 2024) as supporting channels. The school reports approximately 30 employees and operates with a small leadership team including Principal Anna Faria-Machado, Director of Advancement Lili Le Fevre, and Advancement Manager Suzanne De Couto.
