Marymount LOS ANGELES
Marymount Girls MAKE THEIR MARK Curious. Intelligent. Compassionate. Enthusiastic. Girls with all kinds of strengths come to Marymount to discover who they are—and who they want to be. They come to create what we call an “M Print.” It’s like a personal blueprint for success. A Marymount “M Print” starts with an amazing process of discovery. Girls hone their talents, develop new interests, and pursue passions as they learn to advocate for themselves and others. Each “M Print” is unique. And each girl will leave an indelible impression on our school and the world. •

All-girls EDUCATION
“
All-girls settings seem to provide girls a certain comfort level that helps them develop greater ZLSM JVUÄKLUJL HUK IYVHKLY interests, especially as they approach adolescence.
”
Dr. Rosemary C. Salomone, St. John’s University School of Law
Marymount is a premier all-girls school in Southern California. We’ve been a leader in girls’ education for over 90 years. We know an all-girls education is an empowering and transformative experience. Single-sex education is not merely a matter of separating girls from boys—it’s about making sure girls are the central focus. Our girls raise their hands, speak with conviction, fearlessly tackle new challenges, and lift each other up.
Campus Words don’t do it justice—to fully appreciate our stunning campus, you must visit for yourself. Take a stroll through our peaceful green spaces and tour our iconic Mission-style buildings. You’ll get caught up in the energy, history, and enthusiasm. As a student here, you TPNO[ ÄUK `V\YZLSM Z[\K`PUN VU HU V\[KVVY WH[PV YLOLHYZPUN `V\Y lines in Cantwell Hall, practicing with your team in the Pavilion, perfecting your golf swing at the Bel Air Country Club, or swimming laps at our Aquatic Center.
