About the school
Marist was founded in 1905 by the Marist Brothers, a Catholic religious institute, to prepare brothers for their vocations as educators. It became a secular institution in 2003 and was known as Marist College until 2025. The main campus overlooks the Hudson River, and there is a branch campus in Florence, Italy.
