Our
Mission
Tyburn
Academy of Mary Immaculate provides a high quality college preparatory
education in the Catholic tradition at the middle school and
high school levels. Students will be instructed in the classical
liberal arts and sciences. The board and faculty share a unity
of purpose with parents to foster the intellectual and moral
development of students. Christian values are the foundation
basic to all our endeavors and form the principles to which
Tyburn Academy adheres.
The
Name Tyburn
Tyburn Academy is named to honor over 300 English and Irish
martyrs, 40 of whom are now canonized, who gave their lives
at Tyburn crossroads, just outside Hyde Park, London from the
years 1535 to 1681.
The Tyburn logo depicts the scaffold at Hyde Park on which these
martyrs were hanged, drawn, and quartered for their faith. Today
the spot is marked by a circular stone in Bayswater Road running
past Hyde Park inscribed with the cross and the words: "The
Site of Tyburn Tree."
