History:
Founded and sponsored by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, Mount Saint Joseph Academy promotes academic excellence, cultivates respect for all people, fosters unity and reconciliation, and educates young women for compassionate leadership and service.
When the Brothers of St. Joseph settled in Boston in 1873, they were eager to continue their educational ministry begun in Brooklyn, NY, and in 1884 under the leadership of Mother Mary Regis and Msgr. Magennis, they were able to purchase and remodel the Fresh Pond Hotel in Cambridge, converting the property into an academy for young ladies, known as Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Mount Saint Joseph Academy, a boarding school for elementary and high school girls, opened on September 7, 1885. The Academy was founded by the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, to educate and prepare students with a sound secular education combined with Catholic religious instruction.
