Affiliated with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Maryvale combines tradition

with the latest trends in technology and education to offer an invaluable 21st century

learning experience.

Situated on a beautiful, college-like campus, Maryvale gives every girl the skills and

confidence to learn, lead and succeed throughout the school day… and
