School Reviews
5 5/2/2025
Immaculate Heart is a wonderful school. Our daughter started in 6th grade and is now in 11th. The girls feel supported and challenged. Though we're not religious, the religion classes are a place where they talk about history, art, literature, justice and the world. It's been a wonderful place for our daughter.
5 3/15/2024
I'm an alumni and I wish I still lived in LA so my daughter could attend. I'm a high school educator so that's saying a lot. Thank you IHMS & IHHS.
