Maur Hill–Mount Academy(MH-MA) is a coed Catholic, college prep, boarding high school in Atchison, Kansas. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas and sponsored by the St. Benedict's Abbey (monastery) and Mount St. Scholastica (convent) in Atchison, KS. The school became Maur Hill–Mount Academy with the merger of the two long established schools. Maur Hill Prep School (1919) was an all-boys school and Mount St. Scholastica Academy (1863), an all-girls school.
MH-MA is a Benedictine school with a Raven mascot representing Benedictine symbolism. It is also affiliated with Benedictine College (BC) in Atchison Kansas. Its colors are navy blue, black and gold. The student population is around 190-220 students (about 80-100 boarding and 100-120 day students from the surrounding area) around 40-60 of those students are international students from several countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Angola, Japan, Mexico, Lebanon, China, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Russia, and various other nations.
The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica began educating girls in 1863 in Atchison, KS. The college section of their school merged in 1971 with their counterpart in Atchison, St. Benedict's College which was an all-boys college. The high school girls continued their education on the Mount's campus as Mount St. Scholastica Academy. St. Benedict's and Mount St. Scholastica's college sections eventually merged to form the present-day Benedictine College. The Benedictine Monks began educating boys in 1858 in Atchison, KS. In 1919 the monks obtained additional property in Atchison and moved the younger boys to the new campus. It was originally St. Benedict's Maur Hill and later Maur Hill. In 2003, Maur Hill and Mount St. Scholastica Academy unified their school's strengths and merged into Maur Hill–Mount Academy.
