Want to make sure your students get the best education this fall?
We’re still enrolling for Fall 2021!
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. We look forward to returning to FULL IN-PERSON LEARNING in 2021-2022!
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 adhered to the Mount Saint Charles mission. Learning from the past has helped us to solidify best teaching practices as we prepare to return to full in person this year. Mount feels strongly that learning is a social process and that our school community is integral to our success.
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 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 – Lessons from the past
Our students continued their education without missing a beat, via both face-to-face online instruction and independent learning tasks and assignments. Mount students started 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 were 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 were 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.
Every single day that students learned counted as a school day, and count toward graduation requirements.
Mobilizing Students to Help
Mount students are no strangers to giving back, and they 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. These services will continue into the future.
Administrators, Teachers, and Staff Are Connected
We stayed connected in similar ways to the way we would under normal circumstances. Our faculty meet-ups moved online, and we will continue with remote office hours. We will continue the connections we have with administrators and teachers across the state, sharing 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.
