Located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen, the school operates financially independent of the Diocese.[1] The Academy was founded in 1908 by the Sisters of Mercy of New Jersey and opened with 77 students. A fire destroyed the main building in 1911, but the school reopened in the following year and has grown steadily. In the 1980s and 1990s it was a boarding school that housed local, out of state and international students. As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 370 students and 37.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.0:1. The school's student body was 86.5% White, 5.7% Hispanic, 4.3% Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, 1.6% Black, 1.4% Asian and 0.5% two or more races.[3] Mount Saint Mary Academy has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1937.[4] It holds membership in the National Association of Independent Schools, the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools,[5] the National Catholic Educational Association, the College Board, and the Educational Records Bureau. CampusThe campus is situated on a ridge of the Watchung Mountains, overlooking surrounding suburban towns and the skyline of New York City, which is {{convert|23|mi|km}} to the east. The school, a sponsored work of the Sisters of Mercy, is a nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Trustees. Its Alumnae Association, composed of about 4,100 graduates, provides support for a number of school functions. The school's physical plant is owned by the Sisters of Mercy of New Jersey. The recent $4.2 million renovation on windows, doors, and structure are one of many changes to the school. The average tuition is in the range of $17,600 for the 2011-12 school year. Students are required to purchase a tablet PC, which costs approximately $2,250 or can be leased for $640 per year.[6] Awards, recognition and rankingsIn 1984, Sister Mary Eloise Claire Kays became Directress of Mount Saint Mary Academy.
