Santa CatalinaLower & Middle School
At Santa Catalina Lower and Middle School, values-based, hands-on learning is thoughtfully combined with intentional development of character. From PreK-Grade 8, our students grow into confident, kind individuals who love to learn and lead with compassion.
The beginning is everything.
We believe in Stellar Academics
Guided by expert faculty, students are challenged and encouraged at every step in their academic journey. The result? Graduates who are prepared to lead lives of meaning and purpose.
We believe in Unmatched Opportunities
Swimming, performing, tinkering—our campus in Monterey is filled with spaces that make it easy for students to explore every interest and discover what excites them.
We believe in Character First
Santa Catalina educates the whole child. Through everyday experiences—and through thoughtful programs like Compass—students learn to care for themselves and the world around them.
