Religious Requirements

Mount Saint Dominic Academy is a Catholic institution promulgating Christian teaching and values; therefore, any student choosing to attend is required to take religious studies courses for four years and to attend all liturgical celebrations ( school or class liturgies, annual retreat days, Sunday liturgies during school sponsored trips, etc.).

Each class has one retreat day per year which students are required to attend. Students who miss the retreat day will be required to make it up on a Saturday retreat day run by the Office of Campus Ministry.


Service Requirement

The Siena program focuses on one of the four essential of Dominican life- mission.
We aim to help each student “to develop a sense of commitment to the betterment of the global community” and encourage each student to be “committed to living and speaking the ideals of peace and justice in all she endeavors.”

Each student will commit to and complete a certain number of service hours each year, be led through a reflection process and complete a journal which will deepen her understanding of our Christian call to service and the role it plays in her life. This is a requirement for graduation.
