MAGNIFICAT HIGH SCHOOL

Magni cat High School is a girls’ Catholic, college-preparatory high school — founded by the Sisters of the Humility of Mary — that prepares young women to learn, lead and serve in the spirit of Mary’s Magni cat. More than 700 students with a diversity of backgrounds, interests and aspirations choose Magni cat for the distinctive educational experience it provides. Classroom learning is enriched through experiential learning, service and leadership opportunities.

Under the mentorship of teachers, counselors and advisers, each student designs a unique educational experience, choosing from a course selection that includes over 30 AP and Honors courses, more than 50 cocurriculars and 15 varsity sports. Students are given the tools to reach their academic and leadership goals, as well as the exibility to discover new interests and talents.

The Magni cat Center for Science Exploration & Innovation, which was completed in August 2020, has innovative, exible spaces that will allow interdisciplinary exploration across the sciences. One of Magni cat’s most interesting course offerings

is a Mechanical Engineering class, featuring a partnership with Motogo Cleveland. During this course, students learn mechanical engineering concepts through disassembling and reassembling motorcycles in the former Sisters of the Humility of Mary convent garage, which was converted into a sophisticated, modern-day workshop. Magni cat was the rst Northeast Ohio high school to partner with Motogo on a mechanical engineering curriculum.

Exceptional spaces at Magni cat include the Magni cat Center for the Performing Arts (PAC) and Karnatz Family Field. The PAC is a state-of-the-art space that features a 1,100-seat theater, a scene shop, a green room and a dance studio. Karnatz Family Field, meanwhile, is the only synthetic turf eld among all-girls Catholic high schools in Northeast Ohio.

Seventy- ve percent of Magni cat’s faculty hold a master’s degree or higher; and due, in part, to a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, Magni cat students graduate with the essential skills, knowledge and values they need to transition to college and life.
