Marmion
For Life
Here, faith is more than a value, it’s a lived experience. Our Benedictine monks are present in the day-to-day, cultivating a spirit of hospitality, purpose, and service. Leadership is woven into every opportunity, from JROTC and LEAD, to the quiet courage shown in daily choices. And our academic model respects each learner’s path, offering rigorous college prep, engineering partnerships, and hands-on vocational options that go beyond traditional education.

Marmion is more than a school. It’s a community where students rise above, expect more, and become more.
About Marmion
A Place To Grow, A Place To Belong
Since 1933, Marmion Academy has been guided by the Benedictine monks and grounded in the Rule of Saint Benedict. Our foundation in Faith, Leadership, and Academic Excellence forms young men and women to lead lives of purpose, service, and strength. On our 300-acre campus, students are immersed in a culture where hospitality and spiritual growth are part of daily life. With Benedictine monks present in our classrooms and chapel, students are nurtured in both intellect and soul. Our academic programs are as diverse as our students’ paths, from advanced college-prep and engineering partnerships to hands-on vocational training and personalized academic support
At Marmion, every student is part of a close-knit community where they are inspired to be more, aim higher and live with purpose.
Next Chapter
The Tradition Expands. The Mission Remains.
As we look to the future, Marmion Academy remains unwavering in our Benedictine mission. In 2026, we joyfully welcome young women into our tradition, expanding our legacy while deepening our purpose.
The addition of the Saint Scholastica Sisterhood, alongside the long-standing Saint Benedict Brotherhood, reflects a community united in faith, complementary in spirit, and committed to a shared purpose. Together, these young leaders will uphold the values that have long set Marmion apart from other institutions.
This is not a change, it’s a continuation of who we’ve always been. Our doors are opening wider, and our mission is reaching farther. As the Marmion story continues, so does our commitment to forming leaders who rise above and lead with heart.
