The Sisters Academy of Baltimore community partakes in vital spiritual moments. We encourage our students to discern the divine within themselves, in others, and in their surroundings, fostering a renewed and vibrant connection with God. Each day commences with Prayer and Devotion during the Morning Gathering, a dedicated time for reflection and expressing intentions. This period holds great importance as it unites our community in faith before embarking on the day’s academic pursuits.
As part of the core academic curriculum, each student at the Sisters Academy of Baltimore engages in the study of Religion and attends mass one Friday every month at St. Clements Church. This educational structure offers students opportunities to practice fellowship through praise and worship. While we respect the religious traditions and beliefs of all students, participation in all school religious and spiritual activities is respectfully required at Sisters Academy of Baltimore, considering it integral to our comprehensive program.
