Immaculate Heart High School & Middle School

We are a private, Catholic, college preparatory school for young women, grades 6-12. Since our founding in 1906 by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we have been located on the beautiful hillside property in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. True to our philosophy and mission, we have long been committed to addressing the uniqueness of each individual and thereby strengthening her belief in herself and in her seemingly unlimited potential. Many of our earliest graduates were pioneers in fields rarely open to women. Today, virtually 100% of our students go on to college immediately after graduation, often to some of the most prestigious in the country. Our alumnae, who number more than 10,000, have distinguished themselves as women of great heart and right conscience through their leadership and service in the home, in the church, in the community and in their professional lives. We continue to attract very talented and highly motivated young women who represent the religious, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of the City of Los Angeles and its suburbs. Our students are immersed in an exciting and challenging curriculum that inspires a love of learning while demanding the focus and self-discipline necessary for success in college and beyond. Complementing the academic program, we offer a wide spectrum of extracurricular activities designed to help students to explore their interests and to tap into their special gifts and talents.
