Marylawn of the Oranges Academy

I am a graduate of Marylawn, Class of '95. I was ready for the curriculum at Syracuse University. I went onto earn my MBA as well. I will say that I was less than impressed with the college counseling but apparently girls continue to be accepted to colleges across the globe. A course can be at an AP level but it's up to the student to go to a site, pay for, take and pass the test before she is awarded college credit for it. The comment regarding inner city students is irrelevant. There are Catholic schools in every neighborhood in America. There's a reason parents choose to send their girls to Marylawn and I would submit that it is foremost the Catholic education in a single-gender environment. You get that at Marylawn and so much more!

I am the woman that I am today because of the foundation that I got while at Marylawn. I am a graudate of the class of 2002 and have had many successes in life because of the quality education and caring environment that I experienced. There were and continue to be plenty of quality prep courses in the Sciences, Languages, and History that challenge the young women to be inquisitive and constant learners. It is also an environment that fosters leadership, a sense of community, and sisterhood. Marylawn prepared me not only for college but also for the world beyond. I am now an educator, working towards becoming a school administrator; and I owe it all to my time at MLA. So I would definitely recommend this as a great school!

I am a recent graduate student of Marylawn of the Oranges (Class of 2009). I am currently attending the University of The Arts as an animation major. I must say that I absolutely would not have come this far if it were not for the education I received from the diligent teachers that grace the hallways of the Academy. I came from a middle school in which the teachers only cared about picking up their pay checks at the end of the week, they could careless whether or not you attended class or if you understood the material that was being taught. It was a huge change for me once I began attending Marylawn of The Oranges. Immediately, the staff knew my name even if I had never met them before. I felt as though I was important and not just another number on a student rooster; day after day the teachers instilled in me the drive to achieve any dream I could possibly think of. Long story short: If you are looking for a school where your daughter won't be ignored and will receive one of the best educations possible I would most definitely give this academy a try. In the end you will absolutely not be disappointed.

marylawn is a terrible school. not like it was in the 70's. nobody from south orange or maplewood send their daughters there anymore. all the students are from the inner city trying to escape inner city schools. there is only 1 ap class offered at marylawn. send your daughter to oak knoll, kent place, or saint e's if you want them to get a quality education.

Marylawn does not have a strong academic program as stated. Administration says there are AP classes, but there is only one. The classes there are not challenging as stated by individuals. I believe that the current cirriculum is not worth the money asked.

The academic challenge in (Mona)is really great!If I were you I would send your child to (Marylawn of the Oranges Academy).(Marylawn of the Oranges)Marylawn of the Oranges academy had a lot of activities and sports you can participate in.If I were you I would sent my child there.

Marylawn is the best! The AP classes really help. Come see for yourself why so many choose Marylawn as their 2nd home. I'm a parent and an administrator at the school, so I know!

This is an excellent choice for parent looking for a solid college prep program for their high-school aged daughters. The school/clases are small and students receive individualized education and preparation. They also provide religious training (catholic) and a nice variety of extra curricula activities based on students interests.
