About Us

History of Our Lady Of Malibu School

Welcome to Our Lady of Malibu School. Since its establishment in 1958, Our Lady of Malibu has been providing students in Malibu with a nurturing, faith-filled education. As the only independent Catholic school in the area, OLM offers a close-knit learning environment where students are known, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and we invite you to explore OLM through this website and by visiting our campus. Our intentionally small class sizes allow teachers to know their students well and provide meaningful individual attention throughout the school day. From our youngest learners through our junior high, students benefit from a strong academic foundation alongside STEM, the arts, physical education, world languages, community service, and other enrichment opportunities.

Being part of Our Lady of Malibu means joining a community that feels more like a second family. Our small size creates strong relationships among students, teachers, staff, and families and gives each child the opportunity to be seen as an individual. Teachers are able to respond to students’ strengths, needs, and interests while encouraging curiosity, independence, and a genuine love of learning.

Our students are also grounded in the Catholic values of prayer, service, compassion, and responsibility to others. Together, our students, faculty, staff, and parents form a community committed to academic growth, artistic expression, character development, and spiritual life.

The best way to understand the OLM experience is to see it for yourself. We invite you to visit our campus, meet our community, and discover the benefits of a small school where every student is known and valued.

We love Our Lady of Malibu
it's a sweet, kind, nurturing environment in which our kids can really learn. The teachers are wonderful, the kids all support each other, and because all the teachers and all the pupils know each other, it feels like a genuine community. My son's attitude towards learning transformed upon joining OLM and he is now performing at an extremely high level, which makes us so proud. The principal and administration are receptive to parents' concerns, and are committed to providing the best possible learning environment and school facilities for the students. We are overjoyed that we found this school - we just wish it went beyond middle school and into high school!

Absolutely LOVE This School
My children have been students at OLM for the past two years and they absolutely LOVE this school – from the teachers to the students to curriculum. OLM integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Though it is a small school, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions and engaging in group activities. It’s not just a school it’s a family!

We love OLM for so many reasons
The loving, supportive and tight knit community makes my girls feel safe, heard and nurtured. I have grown close to other parents because there are so many activities on campus that have given us the opportunity to get to know each other. This is really important because I know who my kids are with when they go on play dates, carpools etc. I am often touched when I serve lunch to hear most of the kids say thank you to me. Manners and kindness are an integral part of the school which can sometimes go missing elsewhere. We highly recommend OLM!

Most Unique School
Our Lady of Malibu is one of the most unique schools I've been associated with. The school is a small community of loving, nurturing, spiritual, and well-educated people. Father Matt, as well as Mr. Nambu, the principal, bring a special quality of peace to the school environment on a daily basis as well as a sincere dedication to God. Teachers truly care about their students, wanting to ensure the best all-around and spiritual education possible.

OLM Truly Is A Gem
The parent/student/teacher community in this school is as good as it gets! OLM truly is a gem not only academically but also from a human standpoint. Both are very important to our family, and finding a place that can offer them in tandem is exceptional. Everyone is proactive and willing to contribute to make this place the heaven it is.

Great Experience For Our Entire Family
Our Lady of Malibu school has been a great experience for our entire family. My husband and I have a 1st grader and a 6th grader. It was nice to be able to put my family into one school when we moved to Malibu. The parents are welcome on campus to be involved in the classroom and extra curricular activities especially field trips. There are lots of experiential learning opportunities. It made my life easier to help my kids get engaged in the community with the size of the school and the wonderful families that help make the school such a positive learning environment for our kids. I would recommend taking a tour and seeing for yourself! You will not be disappointed.
