Louisville High School

What Louisville High School does

Louisville High School is a private, nonprofit, all-girls Catholic college-preparatory school founded in 1960 by the Sisters of St. Louis on the former Manzanita Ranch property in Woodland Hills, California. It serves young women in grades 5-12 drawn from over 75 feeder middle schools across the greater Los Angeles area, delivering a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, 23 AP courses, an Innovation Lab with design-thinking curriculum (3D printers, laser cutters, green screen), and 1:1 Lenovo Yoga devices running on Blackbaud's My Louisville learning management system. The school is WASC- and WCEA-accredited, ICGS-affiliated, and SEVP-certified to enroll F-1 international students; it maintains a brother-school partnership with Crespi Carmelite High School for co-educational programming. Athletic and academic outcomes are central to its brand: 24 CIF championships, 12 LA County Mock Trial titles, 96% UC course eligibility, and over $18M in scholarships for the Class of 2026.

The business model is tuition-driven. Base tuition for 2026-2027 is $26,700 per student, supplemented by mandatory Registration ($750), Technology ($650), and Facilities ($625) fees and a recommended $1,500 Louisville Fund donation. The school offers monthly, semester, and annual payment plans, plus need-based aid (56% of students, $1.8M total, average award $9,700) and several renewable scholarships (St. Louis of France, Presidential, Louisville Legacy, Royal and Fleur de Lis). Ancillary revenue streams include contracted bus transportation (Valley, Thousand Oaks, and Louisville/Crespi shuttle routes), Spirit Store merchandise, and development/fundraising including corporate matching and retail affiliate programs.

Go-to-market is event-driven and direct-to-consumer: prospective families inquire through the Finalsite enrollment portal, attend structured visit experiences (Louisville Life Visit Days, 8th Grade Visit Day, Open House, Junior High Retreat), and complete an application process involving transcripts, recommendations, interviews, and essays. Marketing channels include the school's website, social media (Instagram @lvhsroyals, Facebook, LinkedIn), campus visit events, SEO for all-girls/Catholic LA searches, and an active alumnae ambassador network spanning 6,500+ graduates. Recent strategic emphasis areas include the Focus Program (five career-pathway cohorts, 67% junior/senior participation), international student recruitment, and the Louisville Forever strategic plan launched at the 60th anniversary.
