Founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in 1882, OLP has successfully educated young women for more than 134 years to meet the needs of society.

The OLP Department of Religious Studies operates from the CSJ tradition of “Faith in Action”. The curriculum is rooted in balancing formation with information and is integrated across all disciplines under the guidance of the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

With the integration of a Campus Ministry program rooted in student leadership, students are encouraged to engage in their faith and lead others through a vibrant faith experience. Religious studies in the classrooms is complemented with class level retreats for all grade levels. Liturgies are planned by students and led by visiting Priests from all over San Diego Diocese.

Students are required to complete 85 hours of service by the time of graduation, yet most go above and beyond the minimum requirements because the culture of our community is that of serving the “dear neighbor.” Last year, our 750 students collectively served 25,813 hours in our community.

STEAM Curriculum At OLP, we help our students develop the skills necessary to take on any challenge. We offer 53 classes in the STEAM disciplines.

Science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) subjects are integrated into the curriculum, giving our girls the opportunity to learn and innovate across a variety of disciplines.

We are committed to supporting our the passions of our students and educating the next generation of female leaders and innovators in all fields.
