Sisters Academy has a Certificate of Approval from the Maryland State Department of Education as a non-public school – grades 5 through 8.

The NativityMiguel Coalition (NMC) is an alliance of fifty nonpublic schools serving students from pre-k through twelfth grade in the U.S. and Canada that work together to bring equity to all students through education.

Investing in the fundamental belief that every student deserves the opportunity to become their best authentic self, the NMC provides its members with the support and structure needed to deliver a holistic education that values empathy, equality, and connection.

NMC member schools are the driving force of our organization. Through these remarkable institutions, all children—regardless of faith, race, gender, or income—are provided with an inclusive education that meets each child’s individual needs and nurtures their unique aspirations. With love and support, NMC member schools teach all students how vital they are to their cultures, communities, and society.
