Fundación Nuevo Marymount

Guided by the motto 'empowered minds, compassionate hearts,' the school focuses on forming women who are leaders, empathetic, and globally conscious. It is part of the RSHM (Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary) Network of Schools and emphasizes a growth mindset, lifelong learning, social service, and ethical leadership. The educational approach integrates academic excellence with socio-emotional development and a commitment to sustainable transformation.

The school follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, comprising the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for grades 6th to 9th, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for grades 10th and 11th. The curriculum is bilingual in Spanish and English, with the option to study French or Portuguese as a third language. The academic programme emphasizes critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and an interdisciplinary approach.

The school provides a Learning Success Center and a dedicated Bienestar (Well-being) department to support students. The academic model includes personalized accompaniment and differentiated instruction to address individual learning needs, identify strengths, and provide targeted pedagogical strategies. Additionally, the school has a dedicated nursing service and psychology teams for different school sections.

The school manages admissions through a structured process that begins with a pre-registration form and an informational session. For Pre-kindergarten, the process includes a tour, an application form, parent interviews, and a 'Play Day' for the applicant. For grades Kindergarten through 10th, admission is subject to availability and involves academic testing and interviews with both the applicant and parents.

The school operates on an academic calendar that currently extends through June 2027, with a planned integration project with Gimnasio Campestre scheduled to begin in August 2027.

The campus, established in 1970, features modern facilities including the 'El Roble' building for Pre-school and Primary, which houses classrooms, laboratories, and a central patio. Other facilities include a multi-purpose Coliseo with Olympic-quality flooring and a 544-seat capacity, a library (Centro de Conocimiento), an auditorium, music rooms, sports fields, a climbing wall, and a vegetable garden. The architecture is designed to integrate with the surrounding natural environment, utilizing bioclimatic principles and natural light.

The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports teams (basketball, volleyball, football, chess, athletics, and cheerleading), arts programmes, and events such as the Song and Dance Contest and the Christmas Carol Festival. Students can also participate in the Marymount Adventure Program (MAP), Model United Nations (MMUN), and the 'Soy Legal' programme. Competitive sports teams participate in inter-school tournaments at both national and international levels.
