Marymount Academy (Sudbury)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marymount Academy is a middle and high school in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, which offers Catholic education for girls in Grades 7 through 12.

The school originally opened in 1956 as Marymount College, a girls' high school equivalent to the boys-only St. Charles College. Following St. Charles' conversion to a co-educational school in 1993, enrolment at Marymount began to decline, a process which accelerated following the opening of St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School in 1996. The school thus added Grade 7 and 8 education, and developed a special focus on enriched academic education for young women, changing its name to the current Marymount Academy.

The school is located on D'Youville Street near the city's downtown core, a facility shared with the head office of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board.

In May of 2007, a group of students at the school organized a fundraiser for the city's St. Joseph Foundation, in which they attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the largest slab of fudge. [1]
