Santa Catalina School
History
| Founded in 1950, Santa Catalina School is an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school for young women located on 36-acres in beautiful Monterey, California. Students have a variety of academic choices with honors and 18 Advanced Placement classes and a wide range of visual and performing arts electives. Our students discover skills, talents, and interests they never knew existed within themselves – whether it’s playing one of 13 interscholastic sports, or leading a club, or doing community service. Class sizes are small and are taught the way girls learn most effectively, often with open discussion and group projects. Santa Catalina seeks girls with intellectual curiosity and adventurous spirit and selects students who indicate they can succeed here, not only academically, but as contributing members of our community. |
