Philosophy
A leader in the education of young women for over a century, Ramona Convent Secondary School draws from its rich heritage and tradition to continue the ministry of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in the San Gabriel Valley.
The Ramona Convent community is committed to provide a Christian environment in which young women develop academic excellence, spiritual depth, personal integrity, and leadership skills to prepare themselves to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. The whole environment encourages each student to reach her full potential as a spiritual, caring, independent, cultured, confident, and well-educated young woman with an understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures that make up the school and world communities.
Ramona Convent fosters a positive climate and a respectful community among the students, faculty, staff, and parents. Open to the wisdom of other religious traditions, Ramona provides formal instruction in the Catholic faith. This, together with the values that permeate the curriculum, challenges the students to deepen their own faith commitment and to be actively concerned citizens of the world.
In collaboration with parents, Ramona Convent's overall program nourishes the self confidence of each student. It enables her to discover her talents in academics, leadership, the arts, and athletics, helping her to develop as a whole person who holds honor and social justice in the highest regard, who acts with personal integrity, and who takes an active role in shaping the future.
