Faculty
Every Maryvale faculty member holds a bachelor's degree. Nearly 40 hold a master's degree. And, four have a Ph.D. Our dedicated, passionate faculty members regularly participate in professional development opportunities to continue their educational journeys and adapt their lesson plans to the trends in academia. Further, in order to provide the individualized attention that each student needs, our teachers are trained to recognize when a girl may need more support, more rigor or more independence.
