The 2025–2026 school year is underway, and our community continues to grow with young women ready to dream big, serve others, and lead with courage.

Joining OLP from Public, Charter, or Independent Schools
Students from All Schools Welcome
At the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, we joyfully welcome students of all faith backgrounds and from all types of middle schools—public, charter, independent, and home-schooled. Each girl brings her own experiences, perspectives, and gifts, and we know that a diversity of educational backgrounds strengthens our sisterhood and enriches our community.
If your daughter attends a public, charter, or independent school and is currently in 8th grade, she is warmly invited to join us at OLP for 8th Grade Visitation Day—a special half-day experience where future Pilots can explore our academics, spirit, and traditions alongside students from San Diego’s parochial schools. She may attend on Wednesday, October 15, or Thursday, October 16, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Students provide their own transportation and must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
Space is limited, so be sure to reserve her spot today – find October 15 and 16 on the calendar:
