School Profile
Confident girls. Ethical leaders. Global advocates.
2 0 1 5 / 2 0 1 6
We educate with the purpose of shaping young women tobecome leaders for the future who will enact change for the common good. At Marymount, it’s not about being the best
in the world—it’s about being the best for the world.
The Marymount Difference.
A hallmark of life at Marymount is the emphasis placed on the development of
the “whole girl”—academically, socially, and spiritually. The most important quality of our school is an environment that ensures each girl is empowered and nurtured so that she realizes her full potential. With this support, our girls fearlessly challenge themselves to
advance their minds, spirits and hearts during their time at Marymount, building a strong
foundation grounded in self-awareness, ethics, and poise as they move on to
college and the chapters ahead.
CHARACTER
The expansive and inclusive nature of our RSHM heritage is founded on the principle that every girl deserves a quality education.
After nine decades of educating, we continue to foster and embrace the spirituality in each student, however she may define
it. The richness that a spiritual education provides in shaping thoughtful leaders
with a responsibility to the common good, teaches our students religious literacy and
mindfulness in a world where faith can divide.
HERITAGEMarymount is proud to have been the first
all-girls secondary school in Southern California to institute a 1:1 student laptop
program, equipping each student with the latest MacBook Pro® and each
classroom with iPads.®
TECHNOLOGY
A signature piece of the Marymount curriculum is our service-learning program, which begins in the classroom. Service-learning projects are tied
directly to the Theology curriculum, engaging students first in examination and dialogue of
social issues, then calling them to move beyond our campus to the outside world. Service projects
are often completed in collaboration with our partners at “A Place Called Home”, an after school program offering low-income youth a safe space to study, play, and learn. Through this, students
learn how their unique skill-sets and actions have a direct and immediate impact on our community.

Here’s why a few members of the Class of 2019 chose Marymount:
“MHS offers me a balance between
strong academics, a caringsocial community and competitive
athletics. I am excited to attend an all girls’ school and be in smaller classes
so I can work closely with my teachers. I also like that Marymount will provide an opportunity to be in
an environment where my religion matters.”
-Ava Prunier-Herman
“Marymount is a good fit for me because my core values are what Marymount encourages.
Marymount’s tagline defines what I always come back to
when I’m faced with a difficult decision.”-Lilly Brodie-Berge
“Marymount develops the whole person
while also providing challenging academics. From the moment I
stepped onto Marymount’s campus, something clicked. I felt welcomed and
content in the supportive, tranquil environment. I love the challenging
academics and encouragement to be a leader.”
-Sarah Fry
