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.

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.

In Middle School, academic rigor is supported by overnight field trips, after-school sports, and countless opportunities to lead. By the time they graduate, our students are well-rounded, conscientious individuals who have all the tools they need to thrive in high school and beyond—academically, emotionally, and socially.
