We’re still enrolling for Fall 2020!
Responding with hope and education
The entire community at Mount Saint Charles Academy is responding to the coronavirus outbreak with an extraordinary response that puts students’ learning and social and emotional needs first.
Administrators and teachers alike made it possible for Mount to be one of the first schools in Rhode Island to launch online classrooms and learning to ensure the community’s safety. Our teachers, students, and staff have led the way in building a community that adheres to the Mount Saint Charles mission.
Mount feels strongly that learning is a social process and that our school community is integral to our success. And while virtual schooling is not ideal, we have together developed a structure that allows to continue the learning process seamlessly.
To that end, the learning community at Mount has embraced four key pillars to ensure success, regardless of technology:
- Learning requires individual effort and commitment
- Academic integrity is essential
- Respect of the learning environment is very important
- There will be challenges, and it is our responsibility as a community to support each other in this process
For more about how proactively Mount has responded to support online learning, you can ready WPRI’s article here:
“Thanks to all of the teachers and leadership team for keeping our kids connected and focused. You really have impressed us. Thank you!“
Staying connected to students through education
Our students have continued their education without missing a beat, via both face-to-face online instruction and independent learning tasks and assignments. Mount students continue to start their day at their usual time, beginning with announcements and prayers before moving into their classrooms. By giving students a consistent schedule to follow, we are able to support our community’s academic needs while balancing the emotional and social needs of our students, their families, and our teachers and staff. The results speak for themselves – in the first week of online learning, our attendance rate for was greater than 99%!
Our classes are being taught in the face-to-face online environment offered by Google Classroom. Assignments are shared through the Mount portal – exactly the same way they would be under normal circumstances. And Wednesdays have been designated independent learning days – there is no direct teacher instruction, but teachers are available to help students as needed while they work on their assignments throughout the day.
Every single day that students learn counts as a school day, and count toward graduation requirements.
Mobilizing Students to Help
Mount students are no strangers to giving back, and they have stepped up again and again. Many have signed on to become Virtual Peer Assistants, and will be manning the Virtual Learning Center and helping other students with their learning and assignments.
Administrators, Teachers, and Staff Are Connected
We are keeping connected in similar ways to the way we would under normal circumstances. Our faculty meet-ups have moved online, and we now have remote office hours. Our administrators and teachers are also connecting with colleagues across the state, sharing their experiences and helping others adjust to an online learning environment.

Social-emotional support for all students
The social-emotional health is part of our everyday mission at Mount, and in the face of this crisis, there are unique challenges and opportunities. Mount school counselors have been proactive in developing tools and offering support to students and families, making sure that they are available all day and scheduling virtual appointments for those students who need them.
In addition, school counselors have assembled numerous resources that support a wide range of student needs. These resources are made available via the Mount student portal and students and families are notified directly when new resources are made available. These resources include:
- tips about successful online learning
- guidance for talking about and preparedness in the current crisis
- updates about Mount
College Readiness
Despite the unique environment we find ourselves in, students and school counselors are continuing to work together toward preparing for college, particularly for juniors and seniors. That includes everything from SAT and AP testing preparation, college research and inquiries, and financial aid applications.

Today during Excelsior Day, the Mount Earth Crew (middle and high school students) met with the Superintendent of Solid Waste and Engineering for the City of Woonsocket. We learned the proper way to recycle at school (what is and is not recyclable). We discussed the goals for the Earth Crew Club for the year. Students had time to ask questions about recycling specific items that can be found in their lunches that they bring to school. We had a very educational meeting! Thank you Mr. Debroisse!

Yesterday, the MSC community celebrated our Opening of School Prayer Service virtually in TC. Father Lacombe’s homily called our attention to several important metaphors.
“You are the light of the world.” Sometimes our world is clouded in darkness and it is incumbent on us as disciples of the Lord to shed light through the sharing of our God given gifts, especially the theological virtues of faith, hope and love. Our gifts are not meant to be hidden, but like a lamp that illuminates its surroundings, they must share the light of God’s love and goodness with others.
Father Lacombe went on to say, “I want to remind you of some other metaphorical words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 17:20 If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could move mountains. The mustard seed was 1-2 millimeters in diameter, one of the smallest objects known at the time of Jesus. I pray that this year be an opportunity for all of you to grow in faith first and if a microscopic virus can cause all this trouble, imagine what faith the size of a mustard seed can accomplish.”
Mount Saint Charles Academy would like to wish Br. Irenee a very happy 85th birthday. May God continue to bless you with good health. You are a very special member of our Mount family.

Today we celebrate the 219th birthday of our Second Founder, Brother Polycarp.
There is no such thing as a overdue fine at the MSC Library---take a book for as long as you need it. If another student needs it before you are done---I will just let you know. What is overdue, however; is the realization that librarians are far more than archivists.
We are usually behind the scenes making connections. We help connect students and teachers with the right books. We connect students with the world beyond the walls of their school. We help connect teachers with the right tools and resources to enhance a lesson or unit plan. Librarians connect with parents when we observe a student do something to help another student and we say to ourselves, "wow, I bet that kid's mom and dad would be really proud to know about that."
Overdue: The Value of School Librarians was born out of a connection. A connection between Mary Moen PhD, Alex DeCiccio, and Kyle Sidlik. This team, consisting of a college professor and two filmmakers, recognized that the stereotype of school librarians was archaic but firmly rooted. They sought to change that by highlighting several local school librarians. I am proud to be one of them!

I did receive your email alerting us to the many financial issues that MSC families are confronted with and the launching of the Hope and Compassion Fund.

Dear Mount community members,
It is with a great deal of sadness that I am informing you of the passing of Donna Guevremont early this afternoon after a long battle with ALS.
Donna was the business manager for Mount Saint Charles for 30 years. I will always remember the time she took to have conversations and her sense of humor when anyone walked into her office on the first floor. In John's 40 year career at Mount, Donna tirelessly supported all of his efforts, no matter how crazy an idea may have been, to make Mount a better place. Even after leaving Mount she continued to administrate the organization and finances of the highly successful Fine Arts Camp.
I know those of you that knew her, feel blessed and honored that she was a part of our Mount community and lives.
Please pray for John and the family at this time including their three sons - Ethan '15, Myles, '05, Nathan '09 and their families.
We are all God’s children, and we are all on our way to our heavenly home. Some of us leave earlier than others, and we wonder why. One day, we will know all the answers to our questions. For now, we take comfort in knowing that Jesus has prepared a beautiful place for us in heaven.
We believe that nothing – not even death – can separate us from Jesus’ love. Jesus rose from the dead so that we could all rise to new life with him, to be with him forever. This is the source of our hope as followers of Jesus. This is our great and sure hope for Donna.
So let us put our trust in the great love and mercy of Jesus. Let us ask him to open his arms wide to welcome our friend Donna into his Kingdom, and to give us the strength and faith to comfort one another with our prayers, acts of kindness, friendship and love. “Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” As we remember Donna, let these words be our comfort in the days to come.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen

When asked why someone should consider attending Mount, Brielle said, “it’s a great school.”
"What I Did On Summer Vacation" by Mr. Simard 🙂
"I spent my week preparing to bring a whole new world to Mount Saint Charles. Sponsored by Brown University and Duckiesky I was provided with a drone kit and soldering station to build and program a drone. The level of training for this has been phenomenal. Every morning at 9:30 I would log in with ten other CS teachers from around the state and a faculty member from Brown University. Our students will learn the basics of electricity and soldering techniques, followed by ethics in robotics. We will also learn the physics of flight. Next we will then dive into Python3 Programming to bring our "birds" to life. I am in awe of this opportunity for our students and I am more in awe of you, our administration, for being progressive and providing me with an opportunity to continue building a robust CS program. Attached is my completed drone which I completed at the resort I am residing in this week. Further proof --whether on campus or distance learning, this course will work!"
Thank you for your dedication to building the CS Program here at MSC, Mr. Simard. We look forward to hearing all about it!

Dear Friends of Mount,
Mount Saint Charles Academy was blessed to come through the initial phase of the pandemic without any students or staff becoming seriously ill. Nevertheless, some of our families have felt economic impact through lost jobs and income. They face the very real possibility of withdrawing their children from Mount because they will be unable to afford tuition. We also have new families applying to Mount and asking for aid because they heard about our success in providing quality teacher led instruction throughout the pandemic.
To aid these families, Mount has created the new Sacred Heart Hope and Compassion Fund and set a goal of raising $75,000 for tuition assistance. Will you help us by making a contribution today?
Any contribution will help make a difference. For those donors interested in sponsoring a student. A donation of $4,900 would sponsor a middle school student for half the year and $7,488 would assist a high school family. The first half of this year is when families need the help most so they have the time to get back up on their feet.
Our community has a long tradition of coming together to help families in need. If your family has been spared loss, please consider showing your gratitude by supporting those in need. Please donate to the Sacred Heart Hope and Compassion Fund now: www.mountsaintcharles.org/sacred-heart-hope-and-compassion-fund/.
Yours in Faith,
Alan Tenreiro

Elisabeth was drawn to Mount Saint Charles for the chance to figure skate in our Sur La Glace figure skating program, to have different choices for classes and to learn in different ways. “I really wanted a chance to have more choices for classes and make more friends that I would have in high school.” Why should someone consider Mount? Elisabeth says, “If someone was looking for a place to have a lot of new things they could try, Mount would be a good choice. Mount is a great place to learn and they have a great school full of choices.”
Help us to welcome Domenic Tortolano ‘27 to the Mount family!
Domenic says, “I chose Mount to have more choices for my academics and my extracurricular activities. I will have more options for clubs, sports and elective classes. I will get to be with my high school friends starting in middle school.” Domenic, currently playing for the Jr. Mounties, can't wait to play hockey for Mount. When not playing hockey, Domenic likes to play baseball. "You will get a great education at Mount. The school is a great place to learn and to make friends. There are a lot of sports to choose from so that everyone gets a place to play. The success classes are a really good option and chance to try something new that not all other schools have.”
