Marymount High School

[EduCativ]

Marymount is an Independent and Catholic school. This means we can offer what other schools can’t—a mission-driven, ethical education rooted in the highest academic standards. We welcome all faiths at Marymount and place an essential focus on helping young women develop a strong moral compass.
As a Catholic school, we build on the centuries-long, rich tradition of academic excellence, adding a distinctive layer of spiritual development through retreats, regular student Liturgies, and Masses, a broad four-year study of Theology, and a strong commitment to serving underrepresented populations. As an Independent school, we uphold the highest standards of college preparatory curriculum, bringing outstanding faculty, a well-resourced academic program, individualized attention, and cutting-edge technology to our students.
Students come to us from an array of parochial, independent, charter, and public schools. Like our home state of Southern California, Marymount is bursting with cultural diversity! Our girls truly reflect the wonderfully diverse population of our region—in geography, ethnicity, and religious background.
At Marymount, we are rewriting the narrative of what an independent, Catholic, all-girls school can be. We know that it is possible to have a high-level, challenging, and engaging college-preparatory program in a supportive and balanced community. Our educational ethos is one of expansion, not constriction, which is fundamental to our near-century-old pillars of spirituality, values, and social justice.
Through our signature curricular program (with courses as diverse as Japanese Literature, Computer Science, and Discrete Mathematics and Coding), we offer a depth and breadth of academic subjects and extracurricular activities that surpass what one expects at a high school. Our dynamic faculty immerse our students in 21st-century learning, while, at the same time, helping them learn to balance a modern life that is so focused on superlatives. In our fast-paced society, we acknowledge the ever-evolving needs of the whole girl, and meet them with our distinctive school culture of care and concern - what I refer to as our "invisible curriculum."
Your daughter will feel this energy when she first steps on campus, animated by our Founding Order’s, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, core motto that, “all may have life and have it to the full.” As a Sailor, your daughter will learn to create and be a part of our joyful sisterhood while learning to problem-solve and develop confidence in her sense of self. We want your daughter to be more than a student at Marymount. We want her to be a student of Marymount, and, eventually, of the world as a contributing, competent, and caring woman who has the heart to do anything and the education to know-how.
Marymount High School is an independent, Catholic, all-girls school with the core purpose of educating and empowering young women to live lives of consequence as ethical leaders with a global perspective and an unshakable commitment to the common good. These are the words and values we live by. They inform every decision we make and touch every student we teach. We honor our mission and history in spirit and action, every day.
We believe learning should be about discovery and adventure. That’s why we offer a personalized, values-based education with a wide range of options—giving each girl the freedom to create her path to success. Everyone here places a high value on intellectual curiosity and academic achievement. With our in-depth focus on math, science, and humanities, we’re more like a small liberal arts college than a traditional high school.
Our outstanding teachers and advisors are highly qualified and specialize in teaching girls. They’re motivated to innovate and collaborate to give girls the real-life lessons and experiences they’ll never forget. At Marymount, teachers know each girl well, inspiring her to think deeply, explore intensely, and express herself with confidence. With a Marymount education, you’ll be ready to excel in the nation’s best colleges—and wherever your greatest aspirations lead you.
