Education
 We
have always valued education as the development of God’s gifts to
us – even in the wilderness. Our
first mission was opening St. Mary’s Academy in Somerset, Ohio,
in 1830. In 1897, we opened Dominican
Academy in New York and in 1901, we opened St. Mary's Academy in New
Haven, Connecticut, educating women at a time when it was barely fashionable
to educate men. We also pioneered higher education for women by founding
two colleges, Ohio Dominican University
(originally St. Mary of the Springs College) in Ohio and Albertus
Magnus College in Connecticut. In educating young women and men, the
sisters affected generations of families who learned to embrace the value
of Catholic education.
