PREPARING GIRLS FOR COLLEGE,
CAREER & LIFE. 

Presentation High School is an independent all-girls college preparatory school founded in the Catholic mission, located in San Jose, California. Our inclusive community fosters a lifelong sisterhood and encourages the development of the whole person: academically, spiritually and personally.

Students of all faiths and backgrounds come together at Pres to embrace possibilities and define their unique paths through exceptional academics, award-winning teams and clubs, and individualized support. We believe in justice, love and mercy, and that if you can dream it, you can do it. 


Here, every girl shines — no matter who she is or where she comes from.

CHOOSE & ENGAGE

We build robots. We dance. We code. We care. This is a place to explore, to discover, to serve, to learn and lead. To meet sisters you never knew you had. To go places you never knew existed. To discover a new passion and cultivate your talents. 


Choose and engage in over 126 courses, 36 AP (advanced placement) and Honors classes, 30 STEM courses and 60 co-curricular activities.


Compared to co-ed peers, girls in female-focused schools report greater self-confidence (60%), empowerment (99%), respect (87%) and academic achievement (80%+), and are 6x more likely to major in STEM fields.

Pres has been such an amazing place for me to grow and find what I love. The small, all-girls environment made me feel super supported and encouraged to try new things. Whether it's diving into STEM subjects or taking on leadership roles, Pres has helped me find my passions all while giving me great memories and opportunities!

— Aanya Bhasin, Class of ‘25

At Presentation, I found a perfect blend of rigorous academics and unwavering support from faculty. The small school atmosphere helped me build strong connections with other students and teachers and gave me the confidence to take on challenging subjects. This supportive environment was key to my personal and academic growth.

— Marcella Johnson, Class of ‘26

The biggest advantage of an all girl's school is that a lot of Pres girls pride themselves on being both academic and social, so you get inspired to become a leader, scholar, and friend to everyone!

— Grace Hau, Class of ‘25

In college, I feel confident in myself and my ability to succeed in all my endeavors. My gratitude for this feeling is owed to Pres. I feel empowered as a woman, coming from an all girls environment, and I truly learned how to advocate for myself and embrace every opportunity in college due to the motivation and drive Pres instilled in me.

— Anika Gowda, Class of ‘22,
at University of Washington

Presentation was absolutely the right choice for our daughter and for us. She’s found a great community of friends and has enjoyed a variety of activities that have also given her a chance to develop her leadership skills. We love that she’s had the opportunity to thrive both academically and socially, and know that Pres has prepared her well for the next stage of her life.

— Amy Martin, Parent ‘25

BALANCE MATTERS.

We talk a lot about balance; its brilliance within our community, and the radiance our students emit once they learn how to harness it. But what makes it so important? We’ve put together our thoughts on why achieving balance—in the classroom, in our hearts, and in our dedication to service—matters. Visit the link below to access parts 1 and 2 in our “Brilliance of Balance” series.

BE BOLD.BE YOU.
