Performing Arts
Theater is a part of life at Marymount. From the earliest grades, students are exposed to the dramatic arts on a regular basis, whether through trips to local theaters or through regular school assemblies featuring professional actors, singers, and dancers.

Deanne Anders, Marymount's instructor of dramatic arts and an accomplished actor/director in her own right, produces three student-based shows each year - one musical and two dramatic plays. In addition, Marymount students regularly attend and receive awards at dramatic conferences and competitions, such as the Southern California Shakespeare Competition.

Studio Arts
All Marymount primary and elementary students take regular studio art classes, exploring various studio media. Middle School students are encouraged to take at least one studio art offering from a wide list of electives. For more information, please contact Marymount's Director of Admission, Anne Ludlow, for a copy of the school's curriculum guide.

Computer Science
Marymount students are expected to graduate with keyboard and basic computer skills. Primary and elementary students attend regular classes in the computer lab. Fall and spring electives offer opportunity for new Middle School students to brush up on basic skills and learn more advanced techniques.

General Electives
Marymount Middle School students have the opportunity to enhance their rigorous secondary-prep curriculum with a variety of elective courses. Electives cover a variety of academic, cultural, and practical subjects, and are designed to be both educational and enjoyable. Each Middle School student is encouraged to take at least one semester each of elective art and student leadership classes. For more information about elective courses at Marymount Middle School, please contact Administrative Aide Terra Shirvanian.
