PreK

The PreKindergarten program at Santa Catalina finds that crucial balance between guided instruction and active play, inspiring a love of learning and fostering a culture of support and self-reliance. With intentionally small class settings, our teachers can really focus on the basics to make sure each student leaves PreK with a strong foundation.

Grade 4

Today I …
Finished a project in science where we dissolved fake rocks to see what was inside. We didn’t know! We found salt, aquarium rocks, food coloring, and sand.

Lower School (K-5)

At Santa Catalina, who students become is just as crucial as what they learn. Our specialized programs tap into students’ potential not only in academics, but in art, music, physical education, and technology. And at the heart of everything is a focus on character.

Middle School

In Middle School, academic rigor is supported by overnight field trips, after-school sports, and countless opportunities to lead.
