About Malden Catholic High School

Since 1932, Malden Catholic, an independent, college-preparatory school sponsored by the Xaverian Brothers, has created a family-like community of faith that has fashioned young men of character entrusted by their families to our care. We are thrilled to be able to extend this same opportunity to young women with the establishment of Malden Catholic School for Girls in September 2018. A codivisional Catholic high school for young men and, beginning in 2018, young women, Malden Catholic strives to maintain the intimacy of its beginnings as a parish high school that prepared generations of students for rewarding college careers, success in a variety of professions and endeavors, and meaningful personal lives. At Malden Catholic, students thrive in a nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence, character formation based on Christian values, and personal achievement. Students who attend our school have in common a desire and drive to succeed in the classroom, on the field, in their extracurricular pursuits, and in their communities. This strong work ethic and commitment to the spirit of Plus Ultra, Latin for “more beyond,” is central to Malden Catholic. It is how we develop the leaders of tomorrow.
