Our history
Our story
Marian Academy was founded in 1997 to offer Georgetown families a Catholic education of real academic quality. From its first classes it has grown into a full school, from Nursery through Primary and Secondary to Sixth Form, while keeping the close, caring community that defines it.
Today our school is sustained by the collective efforts of students, teachers, parents, support staff, alumni and our governing body.

Faith shapes daily life at Marian Academy.

Families of all faiths are welcome; we ask only that every student respects and takes part in the life of a Catholic school.

Welcome
A message from the Principal
Welcome to Marian Academy.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Marian Academy, an institution grounded in Catholic values and committed to the pursuit of academic excellence, character formation, and service to others. For 29 years to date, Marian Academy has played an important role in nurturing young minds and preparing students to make meaningful contributions to their communities and the wider world.
Our commitment extends beyond academic achievement. We believe that education must develop the whole person—intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and morally. As Principal, I am honoured to lead a school community whose strength lies in the collective efforts of its students, teachers, parents, support staff, alumni, and governing body.
Our vision for Marian Academy is one of continued growth, innovation, and purposeful excellence. We seek to preserve the traditions and values that define our institution while embracing opportunities to strengthen teaching and learning, broaden students' experiences, and prepare them for an increasingly interconnected and changing world.
We recognise that every child brings unique abilities, aspirations, and potential. Our responsibility is to provide an environment in which students are challenged to achieve their personal best, encouraged to think critically and creatively, and guided to act with integrity, compassion, and respect.
Education is a shared responsibility. Strong partnerships between home and school are essential to the development of confident, responsible, and capable young people. We therefore value open communication, mutual respect, and the active participation of families in the life of our school.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains clear: to foster a culture of excellence, accountability, faith, service, and lifelong learning. I invite you to explore our website, celebrate the achievements of our students, and discover the many opportunities that make Marian Academy a vibrant learning community.
May we continue to grow together, always guided by our motto: In the Light of Wisdom.
