Faith That Feels Real (and Changes How You Live)
At Royalmont, faith is alive. It’s not limited to theology class or Friday Mass. Instead, it fills the day — in laughter with friends, the quiet of adoration, and conversations with teachers who listen and care.
“God is present in every class, something I never felt before.” — Samuel C, Grade 9
“Miss Forsthoefel shows Jesus through her every day when teaching, talking, and smiling—she embodies a truly Christ-like teacher.” — Maisy M, Grade 9
Here, leadership flows from compassion and integrity. When students lead a project, help a classmate, or volunteer, they act on what they believe. As a result, they begin to see how faith shapes courage and daily decisions.
Developing Minds That Think Critically and Speak with Purpose
Royalmont’s Catholic high school leadership formation is intellectually serious. Classes—Theology, Logic, Literature, Leadership, and more—invite students to think deeply, question thoughtfully, and communicate clearly. With small class sizes, teachers mentor personally, helping each learner discover strengths and stretch their thinking.
“Royalmont most embodies academic excellence. Formators go beyond the basic subjects by encouraging critical thinking and real-world application.” — Noah K, Grade 11
“At Royalmont, the smaller class sizes allow me to ask questions and receive feedback—a critical part of learning.” — Sam A, Grade 10
Where Friendships and Formation Go Hand in Hand
Parents often notice rigorous academics first, but students talk most about belonging. That sense of community is central to leadership formation.
“Coming from a school where you never knew who was going to talk about you next, to experiencing the loving and authentic relationships I have created here has been life-altering.” — Ann Marie D, Grade 10
“It’s not uncommon to see a freshman talking to a junior or senior. The small class sizes allow for real interaction between students of every grade.” — Rachel N, Grade 10
Leadership That Acts: Apostolic Formation in Motion
At Royalmont, faith becomes action. Students live leadership through apostolic formation—serving in the community, leading school initiatives, and participating in events like the March for Life.
“Royalmont concerns itself in apostolic endeavors—from encouraging service hours to school-wide apostolic projects.” — Noah K, Grade 11
“When we go on retreat or to D.C., we always have opportunities to have time with Jesus and to spread His word.” — Haley A, Grade 12
What “Apostles” Means to Us
In the Catholic tradition, an apostle is a messenger—someone sent to share truth and love. At Royalmont, we form students not just to succeed, but to be sent: thinkers who listen, believers who act, and friends who lead others closer to Christ. That’s why we call them modern apostles—faithful leaders for a new generation.
“Royalmont has helped me shape my very being and has given me opportunities to develop leadership skills.” — Diana H, Grade 12
Why Students Choose Royalmont—and Stay
