Welcome to the Academy of Our Lady of Peace!
The Academy of Our Lady of Peace (OLP) is a rigorous college preparatory school with an unparalleled leadership program and a vibrant range of co-curricular opportunities. For more than 140 years, we have educated young women in the spirit of excellence and innovation that characterizes our founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
We follow in the footsteps of brilliant and dedicated educators who established a holistic vision of education—one that forms the mind, body, and spirit. Rooted in the Gospel and the CSJ charism, OLP is a community proud of its rich history and committed to outstanding achievement.
Since 1882, OLP has faithfully served families throughout San Diego and the surrounding region. Our students are challenged to become women of heart, women of faith, women of courage, and women of excellence. Here, girls find their voices and develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills to lead across every field and calling.
Our responsibility extends beyond academic preparation. We accompany each student as she discovers her gifts, deepens her faith, embraces courageous leadership, and learns to serve the dear neighbor without distinction. The strength and impact of our alumnae reflect the multidimensional foundation formed during each student’s four-year journey.
I invite you to visit our campus and meet our community. There is a tangible energy around learning and an authentic sisterhood throughout our grounds and halls—a place where young women discover their own strengths while honoring the gifts of others.
Come see the energy. Come feel the excitement. Come experience academia in motion. And again, welcome to OLP!
