Science comes to life for students when they visit the Monterey Bay to complement their classroom studies in biology, chemistry, and physics.
At Santa Catalina, learning goes beyond the classroom. Every corner of our campus invites inquiry and study, and learning extends even further to include the Monterey Bay. Click through the slideshow below to learn more about the learning spaces our students take advantage of every day.

This three-story facility (known as C2) houses classrooms, faculty offices, saltwater aquaria, the robotics lab, and informal gathering spaces for collaboration. Outdoor spaces include a courtyard seating area and a top-floor deck offering views of Jacks Peak and Monterey Bay.
Study Hall is a communal gathering place for our entire student body. Here, you will find students finishing assignments at their desk, in study groups on the stage, or relaxing and catching up on the couches.
Our classrooms allow for collaboration with students and teachers.
Guided by teachers who are also working artists, students explore all mediums in this bright and open space.

The library is a cozy spot for studying alone or in small groups.
