Located on a private residential estate, 20 minutes from
central London and within easy reach of the airports and all
transport links, Marymount International School offers both
boarding and day places to girls between 11 and 18.
Marymount has taught the International Baccalaureate for
more than 30 years and results have consistently put this
independent girls’ school in the top rankings. Results in 2011
included a perfect score of 45 points, achieved by 0.2 % of
students taking the exam worldwide. Furthermore 20% of the
student body achieved 40 points or more, putting them into
the top 4% worldwide. The graduating class of 2011 achieved
an average of 34.7 points, well above the world’s average.
Since the IB is accepted at universities worldwide, students are
able to go on to top universities across the globe.
In concert with the school’s nurturing and caring approach
classes are small and study programmes are planned to meet
the needs of individual students.
Founded in 1955 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary
(RSHM), the school has a strong Catholic tradition, which is
inclusive and welcomes other faiths. Through the RSHM,
Marymount is connected to other sister schools across the
globe.

truly international student body, more than 50% of the
students graduate with a bilingual diploma. This is granted to
pupils who have a very advanced fluency in English as well as a
profound knowledge of another language and are able to be
tested in both languages up to mother tongue level.
Languages taught include Spanish, French, German,
Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and Arabic.
The student body is made up of 240 girls from over 45
different nationalities – the largest group in the school are
students from the UK followed by students from Spain,
Germany, Japan, North America, China and Korea.
Boarding students are offered a full range of extracurricular
activities both in the evenings and at weekends. Boarding staff
organise visits, activities and the attractions of London and
surrounding areas are close by.
Educational tours to a large range of destinations are
offered during some of the school holidays.
In concert with Marymount’s Catholic values the IB sets out
‘to develop caring young people who help to create a better
and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding
and respect.’ Marymount’s graduates attest that they feel they
have been stretched academically, spiritually and socially:
they are fully prepared for university and for life.
