History

In 1950, with the support of their brother Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, Sister Bertha Gonzaga and her companions journeyed from France to begin a new ministry. In 1952, the sisters converted the donated Cecil County Almshouse and established their convent, naming it “Villa Aviat”.[5] In 1954, the Oblate Sisters' Kindergarten was opened. In 1960, the sisters established an all-girls' boarding high school, naming it Mount Aviat Academy, which operated until 1972, with its last graduating class.

In 1969, the sisters expanded Mount Aviat's kindergarten to include first grade and continued to add a grade level each year until its first group of eighth graders graduated in 1977. In 1979, Mount Aviat expanded to include a Preschool.[6]
