(Upper East Side, Manhattan)

Marymount School of New York is an American college preparatory, independent, Catholic day school for girls located on the Upper East Side of the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York.

It was founded by Mother Marie Joseph Butler in 1926 as part of a network of schools directed by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. The school enrolls students in nursery through class XII.

History

Founded by Mother Marie Joseph Butler in 1926, Marymount School is part of a network of schools directed by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM).

The RSHM was established in 1849 in Béziers, France, by Père Gailhac and Mère St. Jean. They expanded their ministry to the United States in 1877.

Mother Butler purchased the Florence Vanderbilt estate at 1028 Fifth Avenue in 1926 and founded Marymount School of New York. The adjoining Pratt mansion at 1027 Fifth Avenue was acquired in 1936, and the school expanded to the Dunlevy Milbank property at 1026 in 1950. The three turn-of-the-century Beaux-Arts buildings at Houses at 1026–1028 Fifth Avenue occupy approximately half the block between 83rd and 84th Streets on Fifth Avenue.

Facilities

The Lower and Lower Middle Schools (Nursery-Class V) are housed at 1026–1028 Fifth Avenue at 84th Street. These buildings were built in 1901 by architect C. P. H. Gilbert and the architectural firm Van Vleck & Goldsmith. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as the Houses at 1026–1028 Fifth Avenue; the listing included three contributing buildings. 1026 and 1027 were designed by Van Vleck & Goldsmith; 1028 was designed by Gilbert. Joseph Van Vleck (1876–1942) and Goldwin Goldsmith were architectural partners.
