Transformative Teaching and Learning

An all-girls’, independent, Catholic day school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Marymount School seeks to educate young women who continue to question, risk, and grow–young women who care, serve, and lead–young women prepared to challenge, shape and change the world.

Working with the iPad and MacBook Air in a 1:1+ environment and using the resources of four maker spaces, Marymount students “know how to act when faced with situations for which they were not specifically prepared.” (Source: Papert, 1998).


This is the story of transformative teaching and learning at Marymount School of New York.
