Marymount SUMMER is offering enriching and inspiring opportunities for girls entering grades 6-9 from June 25-July 27. Mornings are filled with academic enrichment, the latest in technology tools, and opportunities in the visual and performing arts. Afternoons bring various choices in everything from cooking, photography, and graphic design to science, theatre, music, and fitness. Girls will develop the necessary skills to be successful in the coming academic year and experience the joy of discovering new talents. Girls will have fun and make new friends while enjoying an unparalleled level of instruction. In the years since its founding, Marymount has built a program to challenge and inspire girls from across Los Angeles. With a rigorous academic program, a dedication to service, and the expertise of teaching for girls, Marymount’s reputation as a top Catholic, independent girls high school is well-earned. This mission and philosophy is alive in the Summer Programs as well, with the added desire and benefit of middle school girls having access to the advantages of a Marymount education during the summer.

Snakes, spiders and a wallaby visit Marymount!

Marymount — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:49:42 +0000

Max the wallaby was hopping all over Cantwell Hall yesterday to meet and greet students, and get a few snacks!

In celebration of Earth Day, Marymount students learned about the many creatures in the wild and how not to be afraid (even of black widow spiders!) Every living being has its purpose and the more we take care of our planet – by recycling, using less water, and more – we are taking care of these wonderful creatures!

Marymount’s MUN celebrates “Africa Rising”

Marymount — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 20:09:38 +0000

Marymount’s 6^th annual Model United Nations (MUN) conference, held last Saturday, March 24, 2012, highlighted the African continent. The conference theme, “Africa Rising,” allowed the six UN-style committees that were chaired by Marymount’s MUN advanced students to focus on contemporary issues in Africa such as the crisis in Somalia, water depletion and contamination, maternal and child health, genocide and disease control. Furthermore, the NATO committee enacted the historic 2010-11 crisis in Libya.

193 flags adorned the Marymount MUN conference

Approximately 140 students from nine schools around Southern California participated, including Loyola, Harvard-Westlake and Santa Margarita. Marymount delegates won four awards including the gavel (Best Delegate) in the African Union committee, taken by senior Ashley S. Freshman Anna W. won an Outstanding, while senior Lauren H. and sophomore Kaleigh H. both won Commendations. A total of 24 Marymount MUNers competed in all the committees.

Marymount hosts "Africa Rising" MUN conference

Several Marymount teachers also participated as special guests, posing as investigative reporters delivering news bulletins or as witnesses to disease, genocide or drought. Marymount chairs also presented homemade videos with teacher actors simulating crisis situations in order to inspire their committees to find solutions to the pressing problems addressed in each committee.

Seniors Ashley S. and Vicky L. created the provocative video at Opening Ceremony.

The Guest Speaker was particularly relevant and engaging. Candace Schermerhorn, documentary filmmaker from Santa Barbara, presented a trailer of her film about the women’s protest movement against the multinational oil companies in the Niger Delta in Nigeria. She spoke compellingly about her inspiration for the documentary and its relation to the concerns and actions of MUN students. She also spent the entire day visiting every committee, interacting with the students.

Marymount MUN conference

Marymount’s MUN program will celebrate its 30^th year in 2012 and present its 7^th invitational conference in the spring of 2013. Over 50 students participate in the program every year, competing at six to eight conferences. This year they garnered a record-breaking 56 individual awards and for the fist time ever, not just one, but two “Outstanding School” awards! Next year, the MUN team plans to travel, for the first time, to the largest and most prestigious MUN conference in the country, Georgetown’s in Washington D.C.
