Founded by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary in 1955 it is open to children of all faiths or none. It is situated on a 7-acre (28,000 m2) campus 12 miles (19 km) from central London.
Marymount is a fully accredited IB World School and is also accredited by the Council of International Schools and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (USA). It is a member of the Girls' Schools Association. As an international school it attracts children from expatriate families and also accepts local students.
Marymount International School was founded in 1955 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary to educate children from the business and diplomatic community. In 1979 it became the first school in the United Kingdom to fully adopt the International Baccalaureate programme as its main curriculum of instruction.
Marymount has an excellent record in the IB Diploma. In 2011, 20% of IB Diploma candidates received a score of 40 points or higher, placing them in the top 5% worldwide. In 2011 one candidate received a perfect score, a result achieved by less 0.2% of students worldwide. This is all the more impressive since the candidate took a seventh subject - Further mathematics- taken by barely a hundred brave students in the world. In 2008, one Marymount candidate received a perfect result of 45 points. In 2007, two Marymount IB Diploma candidates received the perfect score of 45 points, two of only 65 students in the world. Since, at least one student of the graduating class has received a full 45 points, often making them the class valedictorian.
